Everything Is

26 Seeing the situation objectively.



43 Myeongdang (an auspicious place), owner, digital thinking, BTS.

46 Pictures, hell.

48 Growing up.

64 Even a 1% possibility is a positive possibility.

68 Situations don't change by events, but by interpretation. The wolf inside the heart that wins is the one you feed.

72 Positivity isn't a probability — it's a yes/no matter. Even when you face a 'no,' try three more times to find a reason to overcome it.

76 Positivity: "enjoy" + "decide." It's all made by the mind (一切唯心造). A positive attitude is a muscle built through practice and exercise, based on the sense of reality and will you've built up.

80 Yale's John Bargh — when the brain reads a verb like "move," it prepares to act consciously. That's why the habit of confirming things in positive language matters.

84 You don't believe what you see; you see what you believe. With no heart (mind), even if you look you don't see, even if you listen you don't hear (Great Learning).

88 In a board game, is it likely to keep drawing bad cards every single turn? That game is rigged — it's hard to see it as coincidence or luck. Life's game is the same. If only your life keeps getting tangled, maybe someone is rigging your life without your noticing. That someone is you. You may be editing your own life negatively as you live it.









102 Three-leaf clover = happiness, four-leaf clover = luck. Happiness is not about intensity but frequency. Once you acquire the eye to spot good value in your ordinary life, you find many things to be grateful for.

113 The difference between a beginner driver and a veteran driver: time-perspective. People with the lowest time-perspective, alcoholics, live for the next drink. Top-tier wealthy people, on the other hand, hold a very future-oriented time-perspective — years, decades, even across generations. Even the act of looking far ahead sharpens the outlook and dramatically improves the quality of short-term decisions.

128 For one whose eyes are closed, the reach of the hand is the world; for the ignorant, the world is as far as their knowledge; for the great, the world is as far as their vision reaches.


133 The meaning of work. 1. Why am I doing this work, and why this way? 2. What work should be thrown out because it doesn't serve the purpose? 3. Does this work fit the changed times? 4. Through what I'm doing now, can I offer a different value to the customer?

137 Work I can do in a way that's true to me.

162 Reflection moves beyond regret and leads to completion. For the future, find and fill the self, the me-ness. 1. Distance — keep observing yourself. Step back and look at yourself. Go back to beginner's mind and look at yourself through another's gaze and another's stance. Separate the emotion from the self, and you see objectively.
Am I living as myself? Am I pushing too hard, or not hard enough? Is the direction right? Without reflection, stubbornness deepens and you start thinking only you are right.

166 If the gaze is on the ground, even with wings you cannot fly.

168 Gyohak sangjang — you learn more when you teach. A student who stops at the teacher can never surpass the teacher.

183 Steady stress builds muscle and makes the body stronger. The problem is not stress but a shortage of recovery time.
+..

184 Don't waste time searching for a true meaning in the meaningless words of others. Everyone is busy with their own problems. If you don't choose to be hurt, others cannot hurt you.
188 Just as crumpling a 50,000-won bill doesn't change its value.



193 When detail piles up, it goes beyond being-different and becomes one's own excellence.

197 Holding.

199 Fractal theory.

201 Detail is character.
203 I know.

207 Runner's high. 208  Forest — a heart that pursues direction and excellence over trees (every single detail). 211 A miracle is.. moving another's heart so that they move.


253 Sociopath, narcissist +
261 +
