Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

The more startups you have, the more you need to learn and practice. Many startups avoid learning because they are busy and have a lot of work. Knowledge determines structure, and managing is the process of building that structure. However, to create that structure, they do not make the effort to acquire knowledge. Just as you must eat bread one bite at a time, even when you have plenty, sincerity will gradually and steadily lead to knowledge and the establishment of structure. It is important to remember that the consequences can be severe if you neglect a bit of sincerity due to feeling overwhelmed by your environment and circumstances. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Both self-respect and self-esteem are emotions that enable individuals to assess themselves and acknowledge their intrinsic value. Is this a form of identity capitalism? Who evaluates it, and who determines the criteria for value? Isn’t existence or nonexistence itself meaningful and valuable? Isn’t my presence in this world already worth something? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Almost 90 years ago, Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin met at the premiere of the film “City Lights” in Los Angeles. Einstein said to Chaplin, “What I admire most about your art is its universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!” Chaplin replied, “True. But your glory is even greater! The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say.” What is respect, and what is understanding? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Since 2008, the US CDC has published annual flu reports aimed at preventing the spread of influenza nationwide. Researchers took two weeks to compile data on each flu outbreak by calculating the number of cases and generating a report. Meanwhile, the flu had already spread across the country. Google addressed this issue by analyzing search query statistics. However, an error emerged in 2013 when the flu vaccine became scarce, prompting the media to publish numerous flu-related articles that further distorted the situation by conflating the search terms for flu patients. In other words, accurate data analysis depends on the ability to interpret quality, untainted data and its context. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In fact, more often than not, a multitude of thoughts leads to a choice disorder, primarily because you don’t know yourself well. Self-needs are easily recognized, yet many individuals lack awareness of their desires. Desire is often intricately wrapped in morality, making it more likely that you remain oblivious to it. If you don’t understand what you want, you’ll hesitate to make a choice. This results in the worry that your choices won’t satisfy desires you ’ re unaware of. Having a healthy mind entails honestly aligning your choices and decisions with your desires. Nevertheless, morality, dignity, and concern for others often hinder honest choices. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Feeling fear often can lead someone with a strong will to try to compensate for their weaknesses or prevent dangers. However, if that person is also smart, they may easily overcompensate. In worldly affairs, change and wealth arise from taking action, not merely from thought. If people experience a lot of fear and are both strong-willed and intelligent, they are more likely to become poor. This happens because they might believe they can achieve their goals through only thinking instead of taking further action. What these individuals often overlook is the value of time, which money cannot buy. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A person adopts a position, and that position shapes the person once more. People form relationships, and those relationships, in turn, shape individuals again. In a system where cause and effect are continuously interlinked, it’s quite easy to embody either a bad person or a good person. Situations and relationships can influence individuals, but people remain at the core of it all. How are good people and bad people determined? Do good people and bad people genuinely exist within this feedback system? How do we distinguish between cause and effect? - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
