Concentration

When trying to concentrate, it is effective to somewhat slow down the speed of thinking.

This will virtually reduce the energy of thought directed (namely, distracted) to multiple issues in parallel.

It then enables one to redirect the attention and thinking to a specific matter, so that the thinking become more liner and consistent.

Foward

Press forward.

No matter what, press forward.

Whatever happens, just press forward and forward.

There is no time and room for cowardice in the name of prudence.

Life and creation are all about battles.

If having hope or dream, don't stay and wait.

Just press forward to get it or realize it.

This is the single way to manifest truly fulfilling life.

Real

Don't be desperate.

Don't be servile.

Just stay cool, and be yourself.

Just stay dignified, confident and bright.

People, circumstances and society change.

But there is no need, absolutely no need to be dependent on such changes.

Just be yourself.

That would be enough and is the best way to be true to and create what is real.

Light

In the middle of night, there is only darkness, which looks like endless and boundless.

It looks as if there were no hope of light.


But, once the sun rises, everything will become absolutely clear.

The light will reach every corner of the world.


It is essential to maintain the torch of hope, whatever circumstances.

As long as the hope is alive, our front and surroundings continue to be clear and warm.


Everything evolves constantly, moment by moment.

No things and matters would stay still, apart from the rhythm and principle of the evolution.


Probably, when the hope becomes in tune with the rhythm and principle, it will attain limitless dynamism, which transcends every kinds of changes.

Creation

To be creative, one must be bold, determined and strong.

Creation is equivalent to a battle in many ways.

Break-Through

Rather than theories or abstract principles, we should more appreciate actuality or a sense of feeling whether we are actually happy.

Probably, this would be a key to break-through many kinds of deadlocks.

Essence

After all, it is stifling to force own self to fit in formality simply because others are doing so.

Especially, if there is something yearning for something within own self or life itself, why not let it flow?

Probably, this would be a natural and the best way to enrich our life and environment while enabling us to be profoundly fulfilled and happy.

Void

Perhaps, we have become too clever with too much knowledge and calculation.

But has it made us happy in fact?

There is something missing.

Maybe, we need to 'feel' more and do something to fill in the void.

Or we can generate something from within until it overflows to a truly and profoundly satisfying level.

Influence

The individual is not a solitary being.

The individual is not exclusively independent of environment, but rather constantly receives influence from it.

It is therefore crucial to be conscious of the type of influence, to which one is being exposed.

It is in fact useful to proactively expose own self to positive influence.

If there is something which one aims to become, from the outset one can intentionally get involved in the environment directly concerned with it, rather than waiting for some day to become like that.

Adversity

When struggling in adversity, there could be a point where a deep sense of gratitude toward the adversity itself starts overflowing from within.

This is a crucial point where the situation will turn around, and an extensive path will open in front.

Key

Success or failure at certain points cannot determine one's happiness.

Whether happy or unhappy does not lie in success or failure per se.

Unhappiness is due to a mind, which is discouraged and retreats in the face of failure.

Unhappiness is owning to a state of mind, which is dependent on the state of success or failure.

Real happiness, therefore, rests on an attitude or vitality, which is undefeated, invincible and even further invigorated in front of any failures.

For being absolutely happy, unceasing, flourishing and boundless vigor is a key.

Vigor

Ultimately, what matters is not methodology, but vitality or vigor.

For only the latter can boost the course of action.

Without it, hundreds of plans and tactics will be of no avail.

Good methods may produce success, but would not necessarily produce satisfaction and fulfillment.

Some may even suffer from incessant nerve-racking efforts to maintain such schemes endlessly.

Success per se is not an ultimate aim.

What matters is how happy one is, which is to be sought ultimately.

And, the sense of well-being itself would enhance success.

At any rate, whatever one's state and stage may be, those with full of vigor are fulfilled, happy and successful at anytime.

Source

It is no use expecting others' favor or relying on others from the beginning.

The spring of hope and vitality already exists within own self.

This enables one to fully exert own potential.

It gradually and vividly gets environment involved into the dynamism in the direction of fulfilling the hope.

Dream

If a dream is wished to come true, there would be no time to be attracted to various interests.

To directly pursue a single important point would be enough and should be a primary and the best strategy.

If swayed by circumstances while digging out here and there, time will quickly pass, and the efforts will end up with no avail.

There are too many in life, but we cannot be engaged with all of them, not to mention completing even some or just a few of them.

A single-minded concentration, which allows no disturbance, may barely enable a dream to come true.

For the world is a place of messy variety and fierce competition.

In a chess, there is no time and leeway for efforts other than to checkmate the king of the opponent.

Distraction leads to an immediate defeat.

Probably, realizing even a single little dream would be something like that.

Trial

If wondering and somewhat hesitant whether to start trying something, just jump in.

Or spread out the work to do in front, and just do something anyway.

It is only through the process or deeds of trial that one could come to know what to do.

Now

Even though located in an undesired place and environment, it may be too early to be dissatisfied and complain.

By turning around the way of thinking and perspective, it would be possible to rather take advantage of it.

Something and somewhere popular, center, higher-up would not necessarily be the sources of satisfaction and fulfillment, even if they were attained.

Being here and the circumstance right now per se could be the very advantage.

There would be no need to stretch too much to become like someone else.

There must be more natural and in fact easy ways to express own potential with a deep sense of fulfillment.

Difference from a so-called main stream dose not indicate inferiority.

Difference can mean uniqueness or even rarity, which can produce or, by itself, possesses values.

No need to think, see and behave like others in the majority.

By turning around the thought and ways to see the world and own self, it is possible to start making difference from right here and now.

Evolution

Life is a being which evolves.

Therefore, better not to estimate own capacity only by a state at a current or past time point.

Better not to have static assessment of own self.

There is always potential that one will grow and change at any time and anywhere.

For life constantly invigorate, revitalize, improve and expand itself.

Obstacle

Before despairing, it is better to try more and do more.

By accumulating experience, one will become more capable and quicker.

A major obstacle is an temptation to give up especially in early stages, which is probably the key point to overcome.

Capability

One of the best ways to become capable is to deal with similar tasks or matters abundantly.

Quantity truly matters.

It well surpasses armchair ideas produced by only sitting down and figuring out how to sophisticate the quality.

Ratonality

So-called 'rationality' somehow and almost always generates pessimistic views.

It claims to be 'objective.'

However, it considerably discourages the 'subjective' realm of human being, which is the major and core source of action, thereby limiting actual potential.

Pessimism is an element opposite to hope and creation.

Those who boast to be 'rational' may well be reminded of the underlying limitation and arrogance of such a view point.

Goal

Once identified a goal or objective to achieve, it is crucial to directly get on with it and pursue its completion single-mindedly.

Speed and concentration are the keys for finishing off with immediate and complete victory.

Styles

When working or doing tasks, it seems important to find out some kind of manners or styles, which enable one to release emotion or natural self boundlessly while effectively directing that energy toward one's flourishing performance.

Challenge

Rather than worried whether make it or wondering what to do, it is much better to 'start' trying it right now, right here.

In fact, there is nothing else to do.

It is only and the most effective way - to just start now.

Clarity

It is no use worrying about what has been done while doing nothing.

Just decide to take responsibility for it and deal with it resolutely.

And then, advance with a clear mind.

Strictness

Sometimes there are those who are cunning and try to take advantage of sincerity.

At such a time, it is crucial and can be necessary to stand firm with clarity and even strictness.

Servility is different from sincerity.

Indeterminate and lukewarm tenderness can even breed the arrogance of cunning attitude.

Momentaum

One of the best ways to get momentum is to complete and finish off a task just in front.

Even if small, a sense of achievement will generate that of victory and confidence.

At the outset, the pace may be slow.

But, by accumulating the the efforts step by step, its speed and strength will gradually be enhanced and accelerated, as if a snowball were rolling down the slope of a mountain.

Weather

Life may be somewhat like weather.

Pouring rain or even a thunder storm will turn into a fine blue sky in the next day or after a couple of hours.

There is constant dynamism, thereby even a rock bottom misery can change into the bright and fulfilling state of life.

Ultimately, there can be something unshakable deep within life itself - just like the sun above the clouds, which always and absolutely shines whatever the weather may be.

Measure

Capability, gain, efficiency, achievement, success, reputation.

These are not necessarily something to be concerned about.

What is essential, which comes first, is whether we are actually happy.

Probably, this is the definitive measure when seeing and deciding matters in life.

Deed

Just throw away fears.

And do what is really wished to be done, strongly.

Possibility

Potential or possibility would cease if we feel no hope.

But, as long as having hope, they become boundless.

It is free to generate hope, which can be done by anyone at any time, anywhere and whatever circumstances.

Confidence

If having no confidence, act as if having full of it.

Even if feeling fear or pain, still continue to stay strong being like that.

Then, gradually confidence will emerge, which will be fostered and consolidated through that behavior.

Day

There could be a day when everything one does goes wrong.

But stay cool and be resolute in mind.

Confidence will turn them into positive outcomes.

Weak attitude and retreat would neither represent modesty nor produce the best results.

Just stay cool.

And, calmly and brightly advance just like one of normal days.

Composure

When panicked, don't try to do things at once.

Stay cool.

Just try each of tasks one by one, steadily.

Then, things will be ok.

Inside

Looking at only others' behavior leads to complaint.

Looking at own mind helps improve own self, and strengthen the qualities of stability and composure.
