- A word from MD

Are you a person who can have wealth?The latest work by author Myung-Hwan Ko, who brought about a craze for reading classics.
We asked a classic with hundreds of years of experience and wisdom about the principles of money and wealth.
Through numerous books, I explored the nature of wealth and discovered the principle of money's virtuous cycle.
A book that calmly touches on the essence of wealth, which is often overlooked today, and reminds us of its unchanging values and trends.

Into the book
The reason I have to define myself is because of the ‘size’ of my existence.
Other people never know my size.
So when people call me by my name, they call me by my diminutive name.
If you get used to the name that other people call you, you will end up trapped in a small world.
(…) You have to keep searching until you die.
So the final question in humanities, classics, and philosophy is always “Who am I?”
Even if you can't find it, you should know that it exists.
The process of finding my name is life.
--- p.57~58
There was a power inside me that I didn't even know I had.
To awaken that ability, you must read the classics.
Just as I was reborn from a comedian to a writer, you too can be reborn again and again.
You will be surprised at your own abilities you didn't even know you had.
Reading the classics can help you be reborn.
--- p.133
But what is truly natural arises from within oneself.
Let's look at the Chinese character for 'of course'.
The character ‘dang’ (dang) means ‘base, floor.’
The character 然 (yeon) has the meaning of ‘to burn.’
Therefore, the meaning of Dang-ryun is 'an idea burning from the bottom'.
(…) A natural mind must arise from within oneself.
I must listen to what is rising within me, not to what others say.
Follow your voice.
Then money will naturally follow you.
--- p.138~139
If I'm going to give you pocket money, I'll give it like this.
It is better for children to learn about economics and finance from a young age.
It's a natural way to learn about how money makes money, a method that no one ever taught me, which makes me so angry, but which I'm so glad to know even now, at over 50.
Let us give you the most valuable wisdom in the world.
--- p.158
The way to make all this imagination a reality is simple.
With these questions in mind, you can go to a bookstore, choose a book, and read it.
You must desperately seek it out and desperately read it.
(…) If Elon Musk had gotten a job at an electric car company without reading books and built Tesla solely through experience, he would have had to invest much more time than he would have spent on reading.
What are you passionately doing to make your imagination a reality? Read, think, and act, and it will become reality.
It is the most foolproof method of all.

Publisher's Review
What is money? How can I earn it?
Are you a person who can have wealth?
A virtuous cycle of money that grows your pot of money and fills it on its own.
Author Go Myeong-hwan, who won the 11th Kyobo Bookstore 'Author of the Year' award for 'The Classics Answer: About the Life We Should Live', has returned with a new work.
If the previous work was a process of asking classics about various concerns about life and finding answers, this book, "The Classics Answer: About the Wealth We Should Have," focuses on the topic of money.
We ask the classics and seek answers about what money is, how to earn money, and whether we have the money we deserve.
The author has been consistently generating annual sales of 1 billion won for 10 years through the buckwheat noodle restaurant 'Buckwheat Flowers Have Blossomed', which he founded in 2014, and is expanding the business by establishing a broth factory.
Also, through consistent reading, writing, lecturing, and studying economics, he created a virtuous cycle of money and became a person who was 'liberated from money.'
But even for authors who achieved financial freedom, there were times when it wasn't so easy.
He worked as a nightclub performer, barely getting two or three hours of sleep a day, and tried four times to start businesses that were popular at the time, such as pojangmacha (traditional Korean food truck) and chicken breast, but failed every time.
The bankbook balance was 0 won at the end of every month.
Life always felt tight.
Author Go Myeong-hwan's life began to move towards 'wealth' after he began reading in earnest following a car accident in 2005.
The author studied the “language of the rich” by reading over 4,000 books over 20 years, following Wittgenstein’s words, “The limits of my language are the limits of my world.”
As the secrets I'd been collecting in books for 20 years piled up, the money followed.
Thus, the author, following Nikos Kazantzakis' words that "the only way to save yourself is to try to save others," decides to generously share "The Secret of Books and Money" with readers.
It was because I wanted to teach him the 'method of making money' that no one had ever taught him, which made him so angry, but which he was so happy to have learned even now that he was over 50.
The author teaches readers how to create a virtuous cycle by growing a pot of money and letting it fill itself.
Goh Myung-hwan's story of money, told through a wide range of experiences and classical works, is simple, concise, and clear.
From The Great Gatsby, a symbol of money and success, to The Little Ball Launched by a Dwarf, which deals with the suffering of the marginalized urban underclass, from Letters to General Garcia by Albert Harvard, the author and salesman who sold 100 million copies worldwide, to Think and Grow Rich, the success bible that is read second only to the Bible, find answers through classics that condense hundreds of years of experience and wisdom.
Now, it's your turn to be liberated, using this book, "The Classics Answer: The Wealth You Should Have," as your manual and compass.
“Don’t be afraid to be great.
“You are a big person by nature.”
46 Questions to Unlock Your Inner Power and Potential

What are you passionately working towards to make your imagination a reality? What would you do to earn a dollar? What is your exclusive possession? Do I come to work every day excited? How much do I believe in myself? The author poses 46 questions that can awaken the wealth within each of us.
Author Myung-Hwan Ko is the undisputed best self-development writer of our time, having given YouTube lectures to 100,000 people every morning for four years and meeting readers at lecture halls across the country around 30 times a month.
The writer constantly speaks to the reader.
After sharing your own experiences and thoughts first, you are sure to encourage readers to share their own experiences and thoughts.
At that time, the reader begins to actively and positively search for answers more than anyone else.
Through the questions posed by the author, readers can learn how to think and act right now, rather than just reading a book and ending it.
If you understand the truth, everyone can have wealth.
For readers who want to begin studying money, the author's lecture on "The Language of the Rich," which features 36 financial terms selected by the author, is included as an appendix. A video explaining the terms directly by the author is provided via QR code, maximizing the reader's ability to put them into practice.
This book has the characteristics of a workbook that allows you to study and find your own answers about money.
If you've always had a vague goal of "getting rich" and kept putting it off, this time it's time to really get started.
After 20 years of reading over 4,000 books, the author realized that the secret to becoming rich and achieving it all resided within him.
And you realize that it was the classics that helped you discover abilities you didn't even know you had in the unknown world.
I must constantly find myself by reading the classics.
Among the countless possibilities, you must find the name that suits you and finally be able to give yourself a name.
There is a power inside me that I don't even know about.
To awaken that ability, you must read the classics.
The author confesses that he was reborn after reading the classics.
As Shakespeare said, “Don’t be afraid to be great,” now is the time to call out to the other you that exists within you.
