2021, an era of new leap forward,
A surprisingly bold and engaging humanistic insight,
Practical Strategies to Awaken the Best Within You

Kim Jong-won, a top humanities writer who has published books such as 『The Miracle of a Humanities Question a Day』, 『8 Questions for Humanities Growth』, and 『One Line of Humanities a Day for Children』, all of which have received explosive support from people of all ages and have become bestsellers, has returned with a new work.
This is another masterpiece that compiles the most excellent and realistic solutions for those who want to rebuild their shattered lives and dream of a better life than yesterday.

This book begins with the powerful question, "What makes a life different from yesterday?" and identifies "the environment we live in, the people we meet, how we spend our time, our attitude toward language, and our way of thinking" as the key elements that make up life.
This book garnered much attention even before its publication, as author Kim Jong-won broke away from the conventional self-help book framework of "constant effort and creating good habits" and revealed "how to completely change your life with five elements."
There is no one who is unaware that change is needed.
But changing daily life is not easy.
Because it's like exposing and reinstalling all the old plumbing in your house.
However, if you don't tear out and reinstall the leaking pipes because it's too much work or too expensive, the leaking water will eventually weaken the foundation and cause your house to collapse.
With "5 Ways to Transform Yourself," a book that teaches you how to break free from the same old routine and awaken the best in yourself, you'll realize that transitioning from a state of profound lethargy to a new leap forward in life is no miracle.

Why did I include the message that losing weight will bring good energy into the void in a book about change and life? It's simple.
Because it's well worth it.
People who can't control their eating will always have to fight with themselves, but those who can control it easily will have more opportunities to fight other opponents, whether they are targets or people.
People who cannot escape the temptation of gluttony spend their entire lives fighting a meaningless battle with themselves, and thus find it harder to invest more time in self-growth than those who have successfully controlled their appetites.
Simply put, he fails to invest time in what is most precious and important, and wastes his entire life fighting the tragedy of the flesh he has created by eating.

Power also has magnitude.
If we give ourselves too little power to utilize, we will simply try to consume it, but if we give ourselves enough power to dream of change, we will find hope in it and have the tremendous courage and will to change ourselves.
This is a really important value.

When I say that I need to have a clear schedule for myself in order to grow, self-employed people say, “Only office workers with a clear schedule can do that,” and office workers say, “Only self-employed people with a flexible schedule can do that,” explaining why they can’t do it.
It's always like that.
People who think they can't do something can't move the stone of daily life even if they gather 100 people.
So it's important to be someone who thinks you can do it, and productive time management starts with the question, "How can I do it?"
No great god can take the hand of one who thinks he cannot do it on his own.

Have you ever asked yourself, "Who determines the starting line?" I believe there is no set starting line in the world.
You can run against other people, and if you don't like it, you can go to another stadium.
No, there is no need to run on the field.
If you look at the situation positively, a way out will appear.
Note that everything has two sides.
Don't think of it as a disadvantage.
Because it also serves as evidence that I have an advantageous position elsewhere.
Stop crying and find a better place.
--- p.225, from “Rule 4: Never lose the dignity of your speech: Speak of the future you want.”

Everyone has a time in their life when things are going well.
It is a phenomenon that occurs when his talent and luck meet.
However, true skill does not end with the phenomenon that appears as a temporary stroke of luck, but rather allows it to grow at a constant rate until the day you die.
Repeating something every day is like increasing your own luck.
