Description
Book Introduction
“The quality of life after forty comes from your attitude toward life.”

Author Kim Jong-won, mentor to 1.2 million readers, delivers
Words of advice and comfort that permeate life

Author Kim Jong-won, a mentor to 1.2 million readers who has emphasized writing for a long time, looked back on his 40s and wrote a single book of writing with his honest thoughts on "what is needed to become a true adult."
"100-Day Notebook to Fill Yourself with Adult Dignity" is based on the author's 20 years of research and philosophy, and is generously filled with advice and comfort drawn from his own experience.
Through this book, readers can directly acquire wisdom that permeates our lives, such as human relationships, worldly skills, and emotional management, and can examine their lives and re-establish their direction through life questions posed by the author every 10 days.


Author Kim Jong-won says that there is no better tool than writing to look into one's inner self.
Because writing is an intellectual tool that helps us reflect on our own lives and emotions through the writings of others.
The 1.2 million readers who have already filled their days with Kim Jong-won's writing prove the power of writing.
A desperate life is bound to change.

Into the book
The words and sentences I read and write most often are like a strong fortress that protects me in a difficult world.
Therefore, you should encounter as many useful words and sentences as possible and as often as possible.
You should give yourself a daily gift of a sentence that contains the wisdom of life, as if it were a large, solid pillar.
Then, I will be able to grow into someone who looks forward to tomorrow more than yesterday.
--- p.26 From “My Strong Growth Created by Words and Sentences”

The older I get, the more I realize, heartbreakingly, how wonderful it is to be able to dream anything.
“I can do anything!” The confidence of my youth vanishes like fog, and only endless questions like “Can I really do it?” come crashing down like waves.
After forty, the tide of change flows even faster.
I now try to live with a traveler's mind.
For locals, it's just an ordinary day, but for travelers, doesn't every moment feel special?
I will live my life like I am traveling every day.
--- p.32 From “With a Traveler’s Heart”

Let go of the compulsion to always be on good terms with someone.
There is no guarantee that the current close relationship will continue, nor is there any reason for it to continue.
The people I meet change depending on the time and season.
People in mature relationships are usually immersed in their own lives and comfortably meet up when they want to see each other.
As you get older, you will realize this.
The fact that the best friend in the world is myself.
Be the person who meets me more often than anyone else.
The loneliest people in old age are not those who have no friends, but those who cannot be alone.
--- p.44 From “The Loneliest Person in the World”

People do not change as they age, but rather gradually find their true selves.
I learn what I like, what I dislike, what situations I am vulnerable to, and when I am strong.
Life is a long voyage to discover my true self.
Don't think that I am changing, think that I am finding myself.
--- p.58 From “The Journey to Find Myself”

In our daily lives, we often overly consider other people's feelings.
Now, let's leave that person's feelings up to that person.
If you are too concerned about other people's feelings to take care of your own, you will end up with the worst possible outcome: ruining yourself and ruining your relationships.
If you want to communicate smoothly with others, you must take care of yourself first.
Let's live a day where we care about ourselves more than anyone else.
Let's spend the day saying kind words to ourselves so that we don't feel bad.
--- p.90 From “You Are Always, Unconditionally Right”

Enduring does not mean standing still and doing nothing.
It is also not exploitative or humiliating.
It is an act of actively confronting life more than anyone else and making the most valuable use of one's time for growth.
As we endure with all our might, we can realize the meaning of life.
By enduring and enduring, I find my own way to survive.
Even if you fall to the bottom, don't feel humiliated.
Sometimes, just holding on is the answer to life.
--- p.150 From “Don’t think of a life you endure as a low-quality life”

If you suddenly feel so angry that you can't stand it anymore and want to refute someone, it's likely that their words or writing have triggered a weakness in you.
At this point, you must realize it yourself.
'This is not something to be angry at the other person, but rather something to look back at myself.
'I realized I was lacking in this area.' Whenever you feel so angry that you can't control it, always reflect on yourself.
The point where I am angry is my intellectual level, and the point where I want to refute is my deficiency.
--- p.202 From “When my deficiency is stimulated, I feel a sense of resistance”

Publisher's Review
“The sentences I read and write accumulate and become my life.”
The beginning of a desperate journey to create your own style!


People evaluate a person as a "true adult" when he or she demonstrates "dignified" qualities, such as respect for others despite his or her age, empathy for others, self-confidence built through experience, and a positive influence through sharing that knowledge, rather than simply being older and more authoritative.
Representative examples include senior YouTuber 'Milanonna', who is recently called the wannabe of women in their 30s and 40s, and director Bong Joon-ho, who became a topic of conversation by expressing gratitude to those who were nominated with him at the Academy Awards.
Author Kim Jong-won, a humanities mentor to 1.2 million readers, spent a long time observing people who they aspire to be like and who they can learn from, and discovered that "the dignity of an adult" comes from one's attitude toward life.
This is because the attitude toward life that we pursue within ourselves is revealed in our words and actions.

"100-Day Handwriting Notes to Fill Up Adult Dignity" is a handwriting collection designed to help you naturally learn a dignified attitude toward life by steadily accumulating time for reflection and contemplation every day.
In this book, the author has compiled Eastern and Western philosophies, which he has explored for over 20 years, and life maxims derived from his own experience.
It is full of advice and comfort that will enrich your life, such as 'How to have a conversation without making enemies', 'The importance of language skills', and 'How to deal with loneliness as your ally'.


The words and sentences I read and write most often are like a strong fortress that protects me in a difficult world.
Therefore, you should encounter as many useful words and sentences as possible and as often as possible.
Then, I will be able to grow into someone who looks forward to tomorrow more than yesterday.
_p.26 From “My Strong Growth Created by Words and Sentences”

“Habits create attitudes, and attitudes create character.”

So that you don't waste your life on things that don't matter,
100 Days of Sentence Practice to Fill Me Up


Research shows that it usually takes a person 66 to 90 days to form a new habit.
Therefore, 100 days can be said to be the optimal period for a habit to become fully established.
Taking these points into consideration, "100-Day Notebook to Fill Up with Adult Dignity" is designed to encourage you to write down one page a day for 100 days about life attitudes that fill up with adult dignity, such as "always studying and observing yourself until the day you die," "realizing the importance of loose relationships," and "fully expressing what you see and feel through words and writing."
Additionally, every 10 days, we include a special Q&A with the author.
Ten life questions, such as "What are the values ​​I should never lose in life?" and "What habits are driving me?", will help you examine and reestablish your attitude toward life.
These are not questions with set answers, so listen to your heart and write them down honestly.
It is precious to take time to look inside yourself, away from the dizzying external world of other people's gaze and social pressure.
If you fill out this notebook one page a day, after 100 days, you will feel your own unique dignity rising, incomparable to that of others.

Is there anything better than writing to look into myself? Thinking about the days ahead, writing is no longer a hobby, but a necessity for survival.
Just because you've finished writing it once doesn't mean it's over.
Copy over and over again until all the intelligence and thought contained in the book blossoms within you.
And never forget that the beginning is always a miracle.
