Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

A wise person advises us not to hold grudges against anyone in our lives. This is because if I foster a grudge, even if it’s physically disconnected from each other, that grudge will eventually interfere with my life. Blessings and grudges also operate beyond my time. It’s just problematic because it doesn’t align with the timing I desire, and our lives are intertwined with an inevitable fate that transcends time in this way. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Even the most delicious food in the world can only be enjoyed in front of me. No matter how great someone’s advice or ideas may be, you must confront them at a time when you can accept them to show genuine interest. There are countless wonderful things in this world, but they aren’t truly good unless they’re on my timeline. Even if I have a lot of money, it isn’t mine until I spend it. Only then does it become my money when I use it for myself, as there’s no satisfaction in not enjoying the benefits. Therefore, the timing depends on my situation. If you genuinely want to change your life, you should focus on altering your environment and circumstances, not just your determination. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Stocks should be bought cheaply and sold at a high price to make a profit. Therefore, it is said that timing—specifically, the timing of buying low and the timing of selling high—is a key factor. However, the issue is that I can’t predict the timing. It’s similar to how we can’t know what the weather will be like a year from now in our area. It’s wise to assume that the best approach is to acknowledge our uncertainty about timing. Attempting to time the market is a common trap for stock investors. Consider this: if you could know the timing, you would be the wealthiest person in the world. The advantage of long-term investing is developing the ability to identify stocks that are likely to appreciate over time, despite the fluctuations in stock prices, and investing in their value. The choice is yours. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

For a business to succeed, kairos, situations, and relationships are all essential. Kairos is an aspect beyond human control, often described as ‘luck.’ It exists within a realm ruled by coincidence and timing. Situation pertains to the interests of the land, encompassing all resources except human resources. Relationships represent human resources that I can cultivate through human unity. Among these three elements, there is a saying that kairos accounts for 70% of success, leaving 30% to other factors. This underscores why we should avoid boasting about our abilities, even in the face of our achievements. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Emotions are valuable. Depending on the timing and the emotions you express, you can overcome blocked negotiations and receive positive responses from your loved ones. However, if handled poorly, they can undermine positive outcomes. Thus, emotions are crucial assets. This is why it’s essential to always consider how your feelings impact others. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
