 The beginning and the end of success, positivity. ​ No matter how hard you try, some people find it difficult to find the key to success by identifying the cause of their failure. How can I use my experience of failure to develop the ability to seize opportunities? ​ All you need to achieve success is one thing: a positive mindset. When you desperately want and wish to succeed, you can feel that hope first sprouts in the person's heart and grows gradually. Anyone who has already succeeded, like any other person, started with the wish of 'I want to be successful'. I can move on to success when I am convinced that whatever my mind senses will come true. ​ Humanity's greatest weakness is that we are too used to the word 'impossible'. It is very dangerous to simply recognize that people are bound by a fate that never changes, or that even superhuman humans always have limits. This 'lazy common sense' should be transformed into the impossible to overcome fat...

 Realize and experience through relationships, create your own path. As it became impossible to share pain and wounds in everyday life, trust became the most unexpected thing in human relationships. Baumann says that all three categories of trust collapsed when we entered the liquid modern era. The first is trust in oneself, the second in others, and the third trust in the institution. It is because trust has collapsed that when you experience a dangerous situation, it leads to an opportunity for personal safety rather than new reflection. When one distrusts the system, others, and even himself, the phenomenon of self-regulation, in which he monitors and censors himself for safety, spreads. A formal relationship is not enough to build trust. In order for people to trust people, mutual understanding through informal contact and exchange is necessary. This goes beyond interests. Trust, therefore, is rather wary of relationships that come out too explicitly computationally. Therefore,...

 Words that must be accompanied by action. Today, there is a deep-seated distrust and despair in words. Simply put, words have lost their power. In a classical interpretation, words have the power to pierce reality. The power to penetrate the 'phenomena' and to see the essence hidden behind it. When words penetrate reality, they exert great power on those who speak them and those who hear them. Because it can question the rulers about whether they are deceiving the truth and make their words ineffective. When people stop listening to the ruler, the government can no longer work. Therefore, training to penetrate reality more deeply through discussion and criticism is essential. ​ It is not because words have lost their power to penetrate reality. Rather, the more words penetrate reality, the deeper the cynicism and despair. Despair at this time comes from the fact that words are only words, no matter how much they see through reality. This is because the horse has lost the '...

The continuity of society, what to convey Advice and advice come from real-life experiences. This is why humans need a network of relationships with people who are different from me and have a lot of experience. If you can't learn anything from someone who has lived longer and experienced more than us, it's safe to say that society is doomed. A society can be a 'society' because it has continuity. Having continuity means that the experiences and wisdom of the members of the society can be continuously updated and passed on to future generations. In order to adapt to and change the constantly changing environment, on the one hand, people need the experience and wisdom of their predecessors, and on the other hand, they must change it. It is foolish to stick to the old things, but when you do not inherit any wisdom and experience from your ancestors or do not want to do so, the society appears to be connected on the surface, but in fact, it is cut off and it is just a comp...

 A world of delicacy and affection, civilization. "In the hot season, put on a single-piece, fine or thick brown robe, but make sure to put your clothes on the inside and put them on before going out. Wear black clothes made of black sheep's skin and white clothes with young children. He wore a white robe made from the fur of his chest, and on his yellow robe he wore a robe made from the fur of a fox." - <The Analects> 10:6 You can feel from this delicate sense that Confucius was a true fashionista who could be polite while calling fashion. Civilization or culture refers to the effort to carefully harmonize with the surroundings without falling into fashion while pursuing fashion. Delicacy! This is the essence of civilization. It is a 'gourmet' who eats delicious food. However, a gentleman's (gourmet) food preferences place more emphasis on savouring the harmony of ingredients and seasonings. The same goes for clothes. Finding a famous designer and weari...

 everything is the teacher “When I lived in the deep mountains, I lived with trees and stones, and played with deer and wild boars, so they were almost no different from wild people who lived in the deep mountains. It flowed so fast that nothing could stop it." It was a single good word and a good deed that changed King Shun, who was nothing but a wild man living in the mountains. Since there was no fixed teacher for a person who lived in the mountains, Shun must have learned his words and actions from a person he met by chance. Hearing valuable lessons from them, his passion for learning burned so much that nothing could stop him, and he eventually became a great emperor. In today's terms, the words and actions that Soon encountered can be interpreted as the people and environments we encounter in our daily lives. If you learn from everyday life, anyone can change themselves and reach a higher level. This is the power of accumulation. When we do not neglect our efforts to acc...

 Don't lower your goals for small achievements. ​ “If you don’t have the eagerness to learn, you won’t guide it, if you don’t try to express it, you won’t awaken it, and when you lift one corner and show it if you don’t know the three corners, you don’t teach it again.” - <analogous language>, ​ Learning is up to you, and the teacher is just giving you the basics and pointing you in the right direction. Mencius also concludes the right teaching as follows: ​ "Stand on the right path, that the mighty follow." - <Menci>, ​ The gentleman merely suggests the right goal of discipline but does not show every detail. Those who want to learn only make efforts based on the level and direction that the teacher directly shows. The capable will follow him, and if he does not have the ability, he is only halfway through. ​ It is difficult to obtain valuable things no matter what in the world as well as study. When you try to get it, there are times when you want to give up...

 The power to protect oneself, self-reflection. ​ ​ "You cannot talk with someone who harms yourself, and you cannot work with someone who gives up on yourself. To criticize politeness with words is to say that it harms yourself. It is said that people give up things themselves. Kindness is a comfortable house in which one should live, and righteousness is the right path one should walk.   This is an article that explains why people should walk the path of humanity. Mencius originally believed that human beings have inherited good nature from heaven. And since the virtue derived from that good nature is the wisdom of humanity, it is very natural and natural to follow that path to protect one's own nature. Therefore, if a person does not live with the wisdom of benevolence and condemns such a life with words, it is to ruin himself. This is the life of desperation. ​ Desperation means 'mistreating oneself and not taking care of oneself' in today's terms, and it refer...

 Ask and you get it, change comes from yourself.  "If you ask, you will gain, and if you give up, you will lose it. If you ask, you will find what you have. It is beneficial to you. There is a right way to seek, and what you get depends on fate. - Mencius What I have is the nature of human letters and the virtues of benevolence and wisdom derived from nature. It's up to me to get it, and it's not difficult to get it. Because it originally belongs to me, if I ask for it, I can definitely get it. How difficult is it to get what you have? But if you don't save it, you will surely lose it. “If you guard your heart, you will be preserved; if you let go, you will disappear.”  - Confucius What is outside of me is worldly success and material things. In order to save this, you must follow the right way. But no matter how hard you try, you may not get it. Whether you get it or not depends on your fate. Even if it was saved, it cannot necessarily be said to be beneficial to me. ...

Another me, my friend. ​ ​ Let's talk Confucius “There are three kinds of friends that are helpful and three kinds of friends that do harm. An honest friend is the first to be helpful, a friend who keeps his promises is the second, and a friend who is knowledgeable is the third. The first is a friend who does not know the wide world, the second is the one who farts, the third is the one who is cunning." - Analects 16:4 ​ An honest and knowledgeable friend is someone I can learn from. On the other hand, I have nothing to learn from those who are clogged and cunningly attached here and there. This only leads me astray. But again, a friend is a friend, and a brother is a brother. You have to have your own 'distance' to make friends. No matter how close friends are, there is a line that each other should not cross. So, there is nothing to be upset about by embracing your friend too much when he or she is wrong. ​ Zigong asked. Let's talk Confucius "Give advice and...

 The Truth of Perspectiveism, Maturana. "The observer is the source of all things. Without the observer nothing exists. The observer is the basis of all knowledge. The basis of all claims concerning man himself, the world and the universe. The extinction of the observer is the It will mean an end and annihilation, for there will be no one left to perceive, speak, describe or explain." - <<From Being to Doing>> Maturana ​ Someone is watching something. Marurana says this is a fundamental starting point. The person develops a world of his own as he sees it as an observer. If the other person exists as an observer, then the other person's world exists, and as an observer, the world that that person sees also exists. ​ The philosopher Nietzsche, before Maturana, described this as perspectives. If the term perspectives is difficult to describe, you can borrow the term from Maturana and call it 'observers. ​ ​ Snakes are creatures of a different world from human...

 love to change the world, ​ If you can win people's hearts, you can achieve anything. Virtue is the foundation of it. People always gather around virtuous people. Even if he doesn't rule, people follow him, and people join him even if he doesn't call him. To rule with virtue, kindness, and virtue is like all the stars in the sky revolving around the North Star. “I have three treasures, which I have carefully guarded and preserved. The first is love, the second is frugality, and the third is humility that is not ahead of others. Because we are not ahead of others, we can be ahead of others. Now we give up love and try to be brave, earn thrift and become wealthy, and by abandoning backtracking we lead to death. If we fight with love, we win, and if we keep it with love, we are strong. Heaven If you try to save me, I will protect you with love." - Do Kyung-kyung ​ It means that you can gain courage because you have a heart to love people, and if you give up love and put ...

 The truth that blooms from me, humanity. Zigong asked. "If you can show love to the people of the world and save all people, would it be called benevolence?" Confucius said: "How can this only apply to benevolence? It must be a sage. Can the kings of Yosun do that? A benevolence is a practice that makes others stand when I want to stand up and when I want to achieve my will, others come first. If we can find the path of love in our daily life, that is the way to practice being." - Analects 6:28 ​ ​ It is clear that Zigong thought of phosphorus as something extraordinary. But Confucius' answer was different. You don't have to be anything great to practice being, he says. In 'in the periphery of everyday life, he teaches that people are the ones that bloom right here, with the mindset of thinking, 'Does others want what I want?' ​ ​ Confucius conceptualized the 'settlement of figuring out the feelings of others by procrastination' as '...

 The sharpest choice, moderate. The attitude of moderation can be misunderstood as meaning an ambiguous attitude such as 'this is good and that is good. But moderation is understanding two or more meanings of a matter and finding a reasonable rationale at the time. It is by no means an inclusive way of 'this is fun, more is fun'. Perhaps the middle ground is the sharpest choice. "You can make a country peaceful, you can decline a high position, and you can walk on a white blade, but it's hard to do as much as a moderate." - 《Medium》 The difficulty of mediation is realistically portrayed. Moderation is difficult, but in the end, it is human to achieve world peace, and it is also human to be 'if you don't want to do Pyongyang thanks'. Also, the shaman who can walk on the white knife is human. However, as it is said that it is difficult to do only moderate moderation as a human being, the path of moderate moderation is more difficult to walk than on t...

 Learn education 2500 years ago. Confucius School. Confucius formally established a school only three years before his death. After spending all his middle life preaching his political philosophy to his princes, he returned to his home country of Noh with his 69-year-old body and taught students with self-consciousness as a 'teacher' for about three years before dying at the age of 73. it was a period Confucius, who has been wandering for nearly 14 years and has not found a way to realize his political ideals, complains about this in the realm of truth. Confucius speaks in the kingdom of Qin. “I have to go back. I have to go back. The young people in our country have high ambitions, but they don’t have the skills. You have the dazzling silk fabric, but you can't make clothes properly." [5:21] It is a determination containing a passion for education to teach young people from the country who have excellent materials but are not able to properly refine them. ​ Confucius ...

 do what you know Everyone wants more income. But salaries are worth more than money, so coveting money is an entirely different matter. Many people get this wrong. One's own worth and desire for money have nothing to do with it. What determines your worth depends on how much you value yourself. ​ Everyone has an opinion. That opinion makes life, and it requires moderation in action. ​ The value of a decision is determined by how much courage it takes to make it. The determination and action of that courage finally complete the wish into reality. ​ How quickly and clearly can you make decisions? Those who make clear decisions quickly are those who know what they want. And he has the courage to achieve that wish. The world only gives opportunities to those who know what they want and act towards it.

One time I depended on this kind of power, and the next time I depended on that kind of power. ​ At first, the crawling creature confidently stood on the ground one day, then struggled for generations to rule the air world. The never-ending challenge of this will would overwhelm us with anger and hunger, transforming us into a different being. ​ He expanded the realm he could control, refined his character, and sharpened his sharpness to respond quickly to the changing environment. We were able to get closer to what we are today by pursuing endless pursuits without even understanding the identity of what we are seeking.

 Analects Gongyajang, The Power of Introspection, Zigong. Some people spoke well and made good money. He is a good speaker, saving the country as a diplomat, and earning money to be featured in 'scams'. He is to the point that by worldly standards no one has been more successful than him. Such a person came under Confucius. There must have been some kind of thirst. You must have thought that life is not just about making a beautiful family, such as going to a top-notch university and getting a good job, eating well and living well. His name is Zigong. ​ There are many conversations where Confucius points out an embarrassing mistake in Zigong's question. ​ "How am I?" "You are a vessel." "What kind of bowl is it?" "It is a jade vessel to hold grain in the ritual." There is a separate passage in the Analects that says 'A gentleman is not a vessel', which means that Zigong is not a gentleman. Was he planning to shake off the smel...

 The process of self-liberation, study. ​ Studying is the process of developing the power of discernment. Only when there is the power of discernment, it is possible to enjoy the object rather than just being overwhelmed by it. From discomfort to pleasure... From disorder to order... You can go from astonishment to beauty. ​ In this way, if the power of discernment is not connected with enjoyment, the study will only become boring and painful. At this point, we should not just emphasize study, but clarify the usefulness and purpose of the study. Studying is to develop the power to enjoy the beauty. Studying makes you discover patterns in what seems chaotic. It shows a beautiful order in which the pattern repeats regularly. Studying is reading these patterns and understanding the order. Whenever I look at the world while studying, I figure out what patterns are there and what the anomalies are. It is a fragrant thing to read beauty, to enjoy the beauty and to express wonder. If you ...

 The starting point of learning, wonder. ​ What fascinates us is 'work'. We marvel when we come across some wonderful works of art. Be it a work of art or a work of nature. In other words, we treat wonderful art and nature as one work. When we think of it as a 'work' rather than just feeling beautiful or cool, we contemplate the arts beyond the work. ​ Admiration is the starting point for arousing curiosity in the arts. It is only when an encounter with an admirable object precedes that curiosity arises about the art of turning that object into a work of art. Therefore, the first step to start studying is admiration. ​ People do not pay attention to objects that do not marvel at them. And even if you pay attention once, if the admiration and fascination are not intense, the attention will not last. Learning does not occur unless it encounters an object that inspires awe strong enough to sustain attention. ​ ​ What I have never met or thought of, and therefore absolutely...

Van Gogh, Between Seizures and Death. Vincent Van Gogh. A great artist who painted the twinkling stars of Arles, sunflowers brighter than the sun, cypress trees burning with green flames, and the sky that shook like the sea.   He burned his hand in front of her parents asking for permission to meet the woman he loved, cut off his left ear after a conflict with Gauguin, a painter he was living with, admitted to a psychiatric hospital for multiple seizures, and later committed suicide by shooting himself in the stomach. ​ The madness of life flashing next to the genius of painting, scary seizures wriggling under a passionate touch. There are many people who want to draw like Van Gogh, but how many people really want to live like Van Gogh? ​ ​ It is not known whether Van Gogh committed suicide or whether he was killed in a gun accident. Even if it was a gun accident, if it were Van Gogh's nature, he would have gladly accepted it as suicide, that is, as his own destiny. ​ When someone ...

 Get started right now. ​ ​ "I've already answered you. The most important time is this moment, and your job is to take care of that person, and the most important person to you is that person." Tolstoy's short story "Three Questions" what we are trying to do, In other words, the true work cannot be sought from far away, It doesn't have to be done at a 'special time'. Even if it's not enough, I'm just doing my best here and now. Whatever you do, every time is equally precious. There are no 'special times' in our lives, but those 'special times' come when we cherish every moment. ​ Instead of setting aside a 'special time', when you do your best in every moment, you meet a 'special time'. Those who truly believe need the belief that 'the time is coming, but it is still that time. If you miss the present moment, if you miss the person you are today, you will miss the work you should be doing now. A living...

 How to get lucky, lucky school. ​ ​ "Lucky people have been shown to attract good fortune through four basic principles: being good at creating and seizing opportunities, listening to intuition to make lucky decisions, making self-fulfilling prophecies with positive expectations, and being good at creating and seizing opportunities. He has a cheerful attitude that turns bad luck into good luck." -Richard Wiseman ​ ​ If you look closely, this means that you can learn to be lucky in the following ways: ​ Contribute to those around you raise your voice, Look out for opportunities to drive change. ​ Resistance, the voice of fear, The noises in my head that keep chirping and distracting, Distinguish the voice of intuition and open the door to intuition. ​ By saying “yes” with sincerity, you create a self-fulfilling prophecy. 'Yes, I don't know if it will work. okay! I'm going to try it,' he said. ​ Finally, learn a cheerful and bright attitude so that bad luck bec...

 Philosophy, getting lost and wandering. Michel Foucault ​ ​ Michel Foucault, a French philosopher who captured the important features of modern power in the image of a shepherd on a search for 'one stray sheep'. The way modern power individualizes the population By totalizing, that is, by carefully caring for and taming individuals one by one, they claim to have increased their power as a whole. ​ It does not stop at mere oppression, confinement, or exclusion. Active management, nurturing, and caring have become new technologies of power. He called the modern ruling power 'pastoral power' by comparing it to the image of a shepherd looking for a lost sheep. ​ ​ 'Philosophy' means... For Foucault, it was synonymous with 'getting lost and wandering. The curiosity that allows one to move away from oneself, not the curiosity to make one's own knowledge that must be known. That was the motivation for Foucault's work. ​ It guarantees only the acquisition o...

 An explorer is a person who has lost his way. ​ All great people drive change. If there is something you want to correct, overturn, or create because it is precious, you should start right here, right now. ​ Don't turn your gaze elsewhere. See the opportunity right away and seize it. Opportunities are yours. ​ "An explorer has lost his way." - Tim Cahill ​ Just because he actively takes his turn and strives for change is no guarantee that change will happen every time. ​ There are only two paths ahead.   It may be as good as expected. I expected it, but it may not work. ​ There is a conflict that we have to live in different futures beyond the fear of failure. But to apply each of our lives and shape our approach, we need to be able to picture in our minds what it will be like and how it will feel. That is to start living in the future you have envisioned. In the future that may never happen.

The only thing to be afraid of is fear itself. ​ One of the greatest fears people have is trying and failing. Failure is not as unpleasant as we feared beforehand. In fact, suffering comes not because of failure, but because of fear. ​ Fear kills the mind. Fear is a small death that leads to complete extinction. I want to face fear. Let the fear come over and run through me will let it go ​ After that, I open my inner eyes You will look at the path that fear has taken. On the road of fear Nothing will be left. Only myself remains What we should fear is fear itself.

 There is no perfect preparation. Could there be a worse evaluation than the evaluation of insufficient preparation? The expression insufficient preparation actually has two meanings. One refers to a state in which the modern industrial system fails to function properly, is cut off, or is not properly managed, such as not preparing for exams, failing to memorize theatrical lines, or appearing with swords in gunfights. What else does it mean? When we do something for the first time in our lives, we are not always well prepared. When it comes to creating a new kind of beauty or connecting with someone in a way you've never experienced before, you're always unprepared. Also, no one is ready to make their first bestseller or suffer an unprecedented catastrophe. I'm not ready to fall in love or be loved. When you give someone a surprise, or when a crisis strikes again, you are not properly prepared for it. But out of fear, we obsessively think that preparation is important, and ...

 Motivation is what an amateur needs. ​ Some people feel that motivation is or is necessary. In order for such people to carry out their creative work, a certain order or a suitable atmosphere must be established for them. In fact, there are some people who say so. However, such an action is a kind of stealth. It requires an attitude of embracing freedom, even when short-term results are not achieved. In this way, you can experience the things you have never experienced before and feel the charm of life, giving out what you love above all else to the world. Motivation is necessary because conviction is necessary. We let our motivations dwindle, paralyzed by the fear that it might not work out, giving the perfect excuse for why we can't. ​ "Motivation is necessary only for amateurs." - Chuck Close ​ Writer Zig Ziegler says motivation is similar to showering. It's useful, but it doesn't last long, so you have to repeat it often. ​ Motivational books, lectures, or pe...

 the price of failure. ​ Sometimes things don't go as planned. It takes too long to solve. And it may fail. ​ When it is his turn, he hesitates and takes a step back. Because it is much safer to stay where you are than to jump to a new place that is different from where you are now. But you might think differently. I think that it is, but it is also that it is not. Consider both failing and non-failing situations. Also, be aware that there is a third state that has not yet been determined and is unknown. Not everyone has to be fine. It might be better to be flexible. Move forward with a generous heart and a willingness to accept conflict. Take one step at a time and learn one by one. Whoever fails the most wins. ​ The cost of failure is less than the cost of doing nothing.

Freedom is not free. ​ "The human brain lives in the 20th century, but the heart does not escape the Stone Age... The fact that humans are alone in this world and cannot give meaning to life other than themselves is unbearable, so they pursue baseless beliefs or idols. .... Even now, modern people, driven by anxiety, consecrate their freedom to all kinds of dictators, or they want to become little cogs in a machine, eat well and dress well, and be buried in an automated system rather than a free man." - Erich Fromm It is difficult to think and choose for yourself. Humans may want to avoid freedom because they have to be 'free' and be moral. In order to be free, man past and future, Standing in this very present moment, where two eternities meet, you have to keep your balance as if riding a rope. Freedom is both a problem and an opportunity. We must be freed from the shackles of being right. ​ With freedom comes danger, and with freedom comes responsibility. Because be...

 All intellect awakens with the morning. "Renew yourself completely daily. Renew every day, renew forever." The morning brings back the age of heroes. If you sit with the doors and windows wide open in the early morning, you can hear the sound of a mosquito flying around the house, buzzing like a mosquito. However, you can be as impressed as any other trumpet that has sung fame to the cry of a flying mosquito that you can't see or imagine. It was Homer's requiem. It was itself singing of his own anger and wanderings in air epics such as 《The Iliad》 and 《The Odyssey》. There was something cosmic. The mosquito sound was a constant advertisement of the world's endless power and fertility. ​ The most memorable time of the day is the morning when you wake up. Only when renewed strength and awakened my inner yearning can life nobler than the previous day begins, and darkness bears its fruit and proves to be as precious as light. A day that doesn't, you might call it ...

 to become a philosopher. ​ ​ There are professors of philosophy today, but there are no philosophers. If living a life worth living was once rewarding Is it the same as standing on a university pulpit now? To be a philosopher is not merely to contemplate profoundly or to establish a school; It means to love wisdom so much that, according to its teachings, you live a simple, independent life, a life of generosity and trust. ​ To be a philosopher means to solve life's problems theoretically and practically, at least in part. Philosophers are also ahead of their time in their outward lifestyle. They don't eat, sleep, dress and warm themselves like others of their time. If you become a philosopher, shouldn't you be able to maintain the heat of life in a better way than others?

 The beginning of growth, courage. People grow through learning. Growth is something that an organism continues to perform as long as it lives. Organisms renew themselves to better adapt to their environment. It's not just about changing yourself. As learning deepens, you can use what you know to change the world more actively. Growth is the process of changing yourself and the world through learning. The process of growth becomes life. Increasing the power to change one's life and the world is the joy of learning. ​ To learn, you need to know your skills and their limits. To do that, you have to be brave. ​ The only way to know what I don't know is to try. In order to make such an attempt, you have to expose yourself as a 'being that you don't even know you know. You need to be able to expose yourself as ignorant, and you need to have the courage to face such shame to know the limits of your skills. ​

The attitude of learning, the way of self-care through knowledge. ​ The objective emotions that self-actualization creates are fear and sadness. The current self-actualization that can only be pursued with self-confidence is always insecure. Anxiety about certainty Since this is 'knowledge of oneself', there is no external basis for assurance. You just have to find it in yourself. The criterion of conviction is the reason why the underlying anxiety of the being who has become itself arises. ​ Paradoxically, the more we assume that we know ourselves and the more certain we assume that knowledge, the more we can help but feel anxious and fearful. In addition, if you realize that your knowledge is wrong in the process of pursuing 'realization', everything you've done so far will be a waste of time and effort in terms of 'realization'. So the feeling of sadness inevitably arises. Moreover, in a society that does not allow failure, the intensity of fear is bound ...

'Know Yourself, the beginning of self-care. Socrates emphasized 'knowledge of self' and 'self-care', and divided 'self (I)' into three categories. One is 'I', the 'belongs to me, and the last is 'belongs to me. For example, my body belongs to me. And the shoes belong to me. Therefore, these two belong to me, not 'I' itself. ​ The first thing to do for self-care is to distinguish between 'me' and 'things that belong to me. They do not yet know the 'I' who is the object of consideration. Instead, one thing is certain. It is 'belonging to me'. It is necessary to separate things that are mistaken for 'me' through 'what belongs to me. ​ First, there is property, that is, possession. We live in a world that commands us to value possessions more than our lives. What I have is me So, above all else, I try to prove myself through possession. In this way, instead of using what I have for myself, I live wi...
