Publisher's Review
“You are what you do every day.
“What will you do every day?”
Written and selected by Professor Kim Young-min of Seoul National University
Meet 365 short sentences in a calendar
A renowned writer of our time who has written numerous bestsellers, from “It’s Good to Think About Death in the Morning” to “What to Do with the Vanity of Life” and “What is Korea?”
We present a daily calendar that displays selected sentences from Professor Kim Young-min of Seoul National University's "Light Confession."
Short, profound sentences, placed on one page each day, help you overcome the uncertainties of everyday life and reach calm, clear judgments.
Weekdays, Saturdays, and public holidays are distinguished by green, blue, and pink backgrounds, respectively, so you can see the days of the week at a glance.
Vivid colors increase visual focus and help you remember the meaning of a sentence for a long time.
A monthly calendar is placed at the beginning of each month to guide the flow of the month.
The aesthetics and insights of language in sentences expand our thought processes and cultivate a sense of writing and expressiveness.
The power of 'Ad Lib'
One sentence a day, the power of a drip that broadens your mind
《Drip Power》 introduces not only holidays and seasonal events, but also various special commemorative days such as Local Autonomy Day, Japanese Military 'Comfort Women' Victims Memorial Day, and Wildlife Protection Day.
Just recognizing a certain existence on a certain day will broaden our thinking.
Through "Drip Power," which contains "light yet poignant glimpses of life" and "humorous yet sharp reflections," we can learn the secret to crossing between grindstone-like seriousness and frothy emptiness.
You can cool your heated mind by chewing on the cold wit.
“Social ideals are not easily achieved, and individual salvation does not come easily.
What matters is not whether you are saved, but what you do to wait for salvation.
Like Baruch Spinoza, who would plant an apple tree even if the world were to end tomorrow, today I am taking care of my physical and mental health and making jokes.
I just hit it without thinking.
That way, you won't lose your peace of mind.
“Just as if you don’t read books because you don’t have time to spare, you will lose more time to spare, and if you ignore jokes because you’re busy, you will lose more time to spare.” _From the text
