Be 'I'm an expert', not 'pretend'.

 Be 'I'm an expert, not 'pretend'.


​


In today's world where knowledge and information are everywhere, it is easy to fall into the illusion that you know everything with just a little search.


There are a lot of cases where people mistakenly look at and copy the stories of other people and experts, but mistake them as if they were their own opinions. They mistake the opinions of experts as if they had come up with their own thoughts.


If it seems plausible that the typical characteristic of a person who knows shallowly is that he does not know well, he cheers and blindly trusts it and uses it definitively.


​


One of the good things about studying is that you learn to think complex things complicated and simple things simple. Even though you should be able to distinguish between the two and think for each, think clearly and definitively by simplifying everything. When faced with a complex problem with such shallow knowledge, they come to believe that there is something behind them. Conspiracy theories are the inevitable result of this knowledge. Moving from the world of knowledge to the world of faith. This can be called the anti-intellectualism of this era.


​


You have to be an expert, not a frugal one.


An expert is not just a person with specialized knowledge, but at least a wise person in his or her field.


​

The wisdom of wisdom is knowing what one does not know, and the ignorance of ignorance is not knowing what one does not know.


An expert can be a wise man, at least in his field, because he knows what he doesn't know and what he knows.


​

Anyone can become an expert.


Everyone should be 'I'm an expert.


Knowing about oneself leads to consideration for oneself and understanding of others.


​


The desire to become a clumsy expert and the desire to achieve quickly can make life a colony of study.


You must be able to judge for yourself what a true expert is by resisting the desire to become naturally immersed in the atmosphere of an era that aims for specialization in all areas of life.


​


Instead of being a slave running to fulfil your desires, you should become a wise person who knows your limits.


A wise man who can handle limitations and control himself,


A person who knows how to stop rather than achieve a desire by balancing life, I wonder if that is the true meaning of a 'life expert'.


​


The path of 'I am an expert is never easy to reach.


But that's something only I can do.


One day, every moment, by properly crafting a clumsy imitation, going beyond self-deception...


Isn't that the real purpose of learning through life?

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...
