Stand up straight with your shoulders straight.

 Stand up straight with your shoulders straight.



You may or may not be living a life of mediocre and poor quality. Just because you've lived like an asshole until now doesn't mean you have to continue living like that for the rest of your life.


The situation is constantly changing.


​


If circumstances change, so can you.


The 'positive loop' adds effect to effect, so if it works in a negative way, it can have devastating adverse effects, but on the contrary, it can also be a driving force for tremendous success.



'Once you succeed in getting one, you will get more.'


Another hopeful lesson is demonstrated by Price's Law and the Pareto distribution. A positive cycle can also work in the personal and subjective realm.


The positive cycle, such as gestures and language, can take place in the social realm as well as in the personal realm. People with poor posture can feel depressed and helpless. If you're in the loser's pose, people see you differently and treat you accordingly.



Standing upright with your shoulders straight is not just a rule related to your appearance. The saying to straighten the body includes the requirement to straighten the mind as well. 'Standing upright' means willingly accepting the burden of 'being'. When we spontaneously respond to the demands of life, our nervous system responds in a completely different way.


​


Standing upright with your shoulders open means that you will open your eyes wide and fulfil your serious responsibilities in life. Standing upright with your shoulders straight is an expression of your will to actively work to turn chaos into order. It means knowing what your weaknesses are, willing to accept them, and acknowledging that the romance of childhood, when you were unaware of human finiteness and death, is over. It also means making any sacrifices to create productive and meaningful innovation.


​


Standing upright with your shoulders straight means taking up your cross at the point where what is right and what is comfortable collide. It means returning the tyrannical, rigid, dead order back to its original starting point, chaos, and ultimately creating a more meaningful, more productive, and better order by enduring the resulting uncertainty.


​


Therefore, you need to straighten your posture right from the start. Get rid of the squat and squat right now. Speak out your thoughts without hesitation. If there is something you want, ask for it as proudly as someone who has that right. Think of yourself as having rights as others do.


Keep your back straight and look straight ahead.


You will find joy in being willing to bear the heavy burdens of life that you cannot avoid.


The meaning of life found in this way will never be shaken in the face of despair of death.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists.

He was obsessed with the myth of the self and its treasure, but did not try to live the myth himself. ​ There is only one way to learn, to learn through action.

If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
