“In our country,” Alice said, still catching her breath a little, “if you run very fast for a long time, like we’ve just done, you generally end up somewhere else.”“What a slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Here, you see, it takes all the running you can do just to stay in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!” If you slow down for e..

When was the most difficult time in your life? Whether it was due to personal relationships, financial struggles, or feeling overwhelmed by your own limitations, have you ever fallen into despair? Who extended a hand to help you when you were suffering for various reasons? Most often, the people who helped you were likely friends or family. Whether they offered direct assistance, provided comfor..

When Jeff Bezos first founded Amazon in 1994, no one expected an online bookstore to succeed. Many criticized the idea of an internet shopping mall, calling it unrealistic. Similarly, when Elon Musk started the electric car company Tesla and the space exploration company SpaceX, people dismissed his ventures as fantasies straight out of science fiction and criticized him as an out-of-touch dream..

The holidays I remember differ from when I was a child, after becoming an adult, and now that I have my own family. In elementary school, I didn’t have many relatives, but I enjoyed spending time together with the ones we did meet. Although traveling back and forth was tough because of my severe motion sickness, I liked eating together and chatting once we arrived.  But at some point, our gather..

Lately, nothing seems to stir my heart. I try to engage in things that once brought me joy—reading, watching movies, listening to music—but none of it resonates. Everything feels dull and lifeless, as if I’m merely going through the motions of life without truly living it. I meet friends, go to work, and fulfill my daily obligations, but there’s a hollowness that lingers beneath the surface. Eve..

This summer has been particularly hot. Even though I have air conditioning at home, and I can escape the heat in public transportation or stores, it still feels unbearably hot. When I think back to my childhood, when our whole family would endure the summer with just one fan, struggling to sleep through the tropical nights, people would spread out mats outside and sleep under the stars. We would..

We live in a capitalist era, so there's no need to stress the importance of money. Countless people are sacrificing their lives to earn it. Many videos and articles lure us in with promises of easy ways to make money. Whether we succeed in making money through these methods or not, we end up unhappy. We spend more than a third of our day working to earn money, and this makes us unhappy. I was un..

The initial purpose of starting this was to take some time to organize my thoughts through writing. Whether anyone reads my posts or not wasn't really important to me. But after a few days of no visitors, I have to admit it feels a bit strange. It's as if I'm shouting into the void, alone in the world. Worried that I might actually be the only one left, I checked next door, and found that their ..

I've never really thought deeply about cooking. I haven't lived with a great passion for food. It's probably because I haven't found the time or the leisure to do so. I'm not particularly interested in preparing or cooking food. No matter where I am, I don't cook or even grill meat. Not only am I not interested, but I'm also not skilled at it.   Every year, my high school friends and I go on a t..

We’ve been taught to do everything with diligence—study diligently, work diligently, and even play diligently(play with wholeheartedly). We believe that living with effort leads to success, leaves no regrets, and earns us the rewards of our hard work. But what exactly does it mean to be diligent? Intuitively, it seems to mean not being lazy, fully immersing ourselves, and giving all our strength..
