write your emotions

write your emotions


Working requires concentration as much as reading a book. Therefore, the best way to get rid of useless chatter and sentiments in your writing is to do manual labor.


​


If you move your body to work from morning to evening, you may regret that the flow of thoughts was interrupted during that time. But sit down in your room in the evening and write down your experiences of the day in just a few lines.


It will be more powerful and truthful than writing that is imaginative, but mere lazy fantasies.


The writer must translate his experience of labor into writing, and so must the principles of his own life.


​


Is there anything more embarrassing than lying down and reading a book?


Learn how to chop wood.


Scholars also have to sweat and experience various things.



​


The only principle of writing is to tell the truth. These are the first, second and third principles of writing.


The subject is nothing. Describe the mundane with a simple subject, a simple, cheap subject.


​


Write while your heart is burning.


To drill a hole in the yoke of an ox, the farmer would have to quickly chop down the wood for the yoke with iron heated in a brazier.


Because if you delay even a little, it will be difficult for you to pierce the wood with iron.


A writer who delays recording his thoughts is one who cuts a hole in the yoke with cold iron.


Such a writer cannot burn the hearts of readers.

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.

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...
