Into the book
Anxiety is a wonderful thing that makes us do things we don't want to do.
Sometimes anxiety can be a great motivator.
Let's be honest for once.
Would we study if we weren't anxious about failing an exam, getting scolded, not being able to find a job, not being able to date, and not being able to buy chicken? The reason we cram is because of that anxiety.
The more anxious a person is, the more likely he or she is to study in advance.
Even primitive people, fearing they might freeze to death, would gather firewood in advance, and fearing they might starve to death, they would diligently gather acorns.
Humanity, which felt no anxiety at all, has already starved to death or frozen to death.
We are descendants of a species that survived thanks to anxiety.
--- p.30 From “How to Become Friends with Anxiety”
Are you saying only those who excel in their studies are worthy of love? Where is that kind of comedy? What are the criteria? If that's the case, then I'm useless, too.
How many people are better at studying than me? There are many people who aren't great at studying, but are loved and respected for their unique personalities.
Ugly face? There are countless people who are loved even if they're not comedians or celebrities.
Think about it.
Who in Korea would say that studying is more important than anything else? I'm Kang Sung-tae.
No wonder the words in front of his name are 'God of Study'.
That person is speaking now.
You, your future is more important and precious than studying.
--- p.87 From “How do you treat yourself?”
Are you worried about job losses? Those who study hard and prepare don't even care.
I'm not even afraid.
Rather, I think of it as an opportunity.
Because you will be able to freely develop your abilities in the fields you are good at with the help of AI.
Already, people are seizing this opportunity. They're achieving their dreams through AI, and even amassing enormous wealth, contributing to the national economy.
What these people have in common is that they've studied intensely. The anxiety about the AI era only applies to those who haven't studied.
--- p.152 From “Opportunity comes to those who are prepared”
Did you come across something you didn't understand while studying today? If you can't figure it out after reading it once, just read it twice.
If that doesn't work, try looking at it three, four, or five times.
If that doesn't work, try it ten times.
If you've asked and reviewed that much and still can't remember it, come see me.
So, there is no need to be afraid.
Even if you're not smart, you can still ask questions and review.
There is no excuse.
And we have to admit it.
We haven't been doing it right all this time.
Just move.
Because you are the ones who can do it.
I haven't gotten started yet because I haven't found the opportunity yet and haven't gained the faith and confidence.
Now that you've found the opportunity, you can begin.
--- p.237 From “Don’t even open a book you’re only going to read once”
I am a case where my grades dramatically improved when I was in my third year of middle school and my third year of high school.
I learned to speak late when I was young, and my grades also improved late.
So many people think that their grades have completely changed thanks to a 'special study method' and only focus on that.
But that's absolutely not the case.
The basic attitude toward class was maintained even when I was not able to study.
In that situation, I found a study method that suited me, and once I knew how to study, I was able to be confident that if I just followed that method, my grades would improve.
If you had a poor attitude toward class participation and teachers, even the most effective study methods would not have been effective.
--- p.299 From "Seongtae just lies down and sleeps"
Many students are blaming themselves, asking, "Why don't I have a dream?"
And at the same time, I envy people who have dreams.
But dreams aren't free either.
Dreams don't suddenly fall from the sky to someone who does nothing.
You have to try hard to find it, search for it, wander around, and try.
Finding what I truly love to do isn't much different from finding someone I love.
If I just lie under the covers, who will come to me and confess their love to me? No.
If you stay at home, you'll only meet the delivery man or the gas meter reader.
The same goes for dreams.
You can't touch it unless you reach out first.
Sometimes anxiety can be a great motivator.

Publisher's Review
Kang Seong-tae, mentor to 3 million youths, delivers
Why We Need to Study in the AI Era
Since ChatGPT was released to the public in November 2022, AI is no longer a distant future.
We've entered an era where, when we need help, we turn to the "chat window" rather than the "search bar." AI is rapidly infiltrating not only the way we find information, but also areas once considered exclusively human, such as writing, drawing, and composing music.
It is said that it takes at least 10 years to become an expert in a certain field, but AI is producing results that surpass human knowledge and experience in various fields with just a short period of learning.
Amid these changes, there are also projections that numerous jobs and occupations will be replaced by AI in the future.
In this age of rapid technological change, is studying even meaningful?
"To Your Future, More Precious Than Studying" is a book that began with this question.
The author, who takes the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) with students every year and strives to teach them the true study method, understands more deeply than anyone else the effort and struggles that young people put into studying, as well as the trials and tribulations they face along the way.
To young people who worry that as technology advances, humans will become inferior to machines, the author emphasizes that we must study even harder in the AI era.
To me now, to me in the future
The best gift you can give
Even if many jobs disappear in the future, those who know how to properly utilize AI will be able to achieve greater results.
In an era where anyone can easily use AI, it's no different than one person leading 10 or 100 workers. Furthermore, rather than just doing the work assigned to make a living, opportunities have opened up to do what you truly want to do.
To achieve your dreams using AI, you need to study.
The author says that we still need to study and that we must continue to do so consistently, because the ability to acquire new knowledge is ultimately only possessed by those who have studied effectively.
Studying is like the basic physical strength that is absolutely necessary to live life.
Studying is something that is essential in any era, not simply to get good grades on tests, but to develop the ability to think independently and solve problems.
“No matter how the world changes,
“I hope my faith in you will never change.”
The author has included in this book the stories he considered most important and wanted to convey while working as a 'public servant' for the past 20 years.
He shared all his experiences from his childhood, college life, and social life, emphasizing that studying does not make you unhappy, but rather that you can create a happier life through studying.
This book is divided into four parts.
Chapter 1 is a story that makes you 'decide' to study.
For teenagers who feel anxious about their studies, let them know that anxiety is a natural emotion and is actually evidence of growth.
Additionally, based on the author's experiences during his school days, he tells the story of what led him to decide to study and how he became absorbed in his studies afterwards.
Chapter 2 contains the process of finding the ‘reason’ for studying.
Let's look at what you can gain from studying, not just for the entrance exam.
And by looking back on our lives, we can naturally discover the reason for studying through stories that allow readers to realize for themselves why they need to study.
Chapter 3 tells you the 'method' to study well.
It contains practical tips for developing study habits, including effective study methods based on the author's own experience, the importance of repetitive learning, and how to manage impatience.
It emphasizes not only technical methods but also the importance of self-belief and character.
Chapter 4 talks about the 'joy' that can only be felt through studying.
Studying is the miracle we can most easily experience, and it is a tool that can brighten our future.
To young people who are struggling to find their dreams, we offer comfort and empathy, helping them realize that studying is a powerful weapon that can change their lives.
After reading this book to the end, students who couldn't find a reason to study or who were constantly anxious about studying will have a different perspective on studying.
Even though the world is rapidly changing due to technological advancements, if you believe in yourself and study consistently, you will naturally learn how to prepare for the future.
Therefore, 『To Your Future, More Precious Than Studying』 will be a book that instills hope for the future in young people going through uncertain times, and a book that will help them live better lives.
