Am I the subject of reading?

Am I the subject of reading?

​


If you say reading is important, why not read?


If you don't read yourself, why do you want to teach reading?


What is the reason that reading a book does not change your life?



Reading in Korea seems to be far from the essence of reading.


Korean-style reading is one of the tools for studying, learning, rising in status, and success.


I hope that reading is a 'substantial' helpful activity. This statement leaves much room for narrow interpretation of the reading. It should be available 'right now' or 'soon' in terms of time, and things that cannot be used right now or soon are not considered 'real'. The purpose of reading a book that can be of practical help in this respect is to interpret the 'usefulness' of reading very narrowly, and prevent it from seeing any other use.



Reading the logic of 'practical help' makes the reader and learner a slave rather than a sovereign.


Although one should be able to read and understand and judge and decide the strength and weakness of the growth rate by oneself, the moment they subordinate their usefulness to the words 'right now' and 'soon', the reader falls into a slave of time.


The moment reading stands in the position of specifications such as TOEIC or certification, reading becomes a task that has to be done quickly without even thinking about it. There is no time to ask 'why' or 'how' questions. Since it's someone else's job, you can't help but suffer from the impatience of having to do it first. Instead of reading a book while regulating the pace toward the goal that you set for yourself, you run for the results you see in front of you. Otherwise, it's worrying. In other words, it becomes a time-pressed reading.


​

This 'shortening' of the purpose of reading in the name of practicality may be a temporary lure. However, it prevents us from building a body that has the strength to continue reading, which is one of the most important things to create through long-breathing reading.


One of the important purposes of reading is to build a body that can endure and enjoy learning and mastering.


We need to go from 'a person who reads' to a 'person who reads' and become a 'person who can read'.


Through reading, you will be able to recognize each person's purpose to enrich your life, and you will be able to control your own pace and measure your own growth period. Only then can you become the master of time sovereignty and the subject of your life. When you become the master of your life through reading in this way, you will be able to revise and supplement your life by moving on to the next stage without experiencing change as a crisis even in many transitional periods of life that change every moment. .


​

If the purpose of reading is 'short-termed', it will end as soon as it acquires a certain content.


Because it is tedious, it becomes something that has to be 'dismantled'.


If you try to get rid of reading in line with your short-term goals, you will not be able to build a body that reads for intellectual pleasure.


It is not about building a body that reads through reading, but a body that achieves goals in a short period of time and stops reading.


What should be cultivated through reading is a person who can read, that is, the subject of reading who can continue reading.


Am I the subject of reading? Are you a slave to time?

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.

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold. 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. God created this world so that the teachings and wonderful wisdom of the soul can be realized through the visible, and he calls it 'action'. Everything behind the earth gives enlightenment. 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...
