Description
Book Introduction
100 questions that will fundamentally change your life!
We face the question, "How should we live?" every day, but we can't find a clear answer.
We may be so busy with our daily lives that we don't have time to think deeply, and we may be looking at the world only through the narrow lens of our experiences, missing out on its true potential.
"Advice from 100 of the Wiseest People in History" will broaden your horizons and open doors to possibilities that were once firmly shut through the advice of 100 of the wisest people in history.
Instead of asking, “How can I succeed?” ask, “What does success mean to me?”
Instead of asking, "How can I avoid failure?", ask, "What can I learn from failure?"
Not "How can I be loved?" but "What does it mean to truly love?"
This book doesn't give you answers, but rather poses new questions that will help you find your own answers.
From "Beginning and Execution" to "Destiny and Transcendence," the 100 Wisdoms, organized into 10 themes that follow the journey of life, each introduce the original text, translation, and even the life of the person who left the words, helping to deepen understanding.
If you're hesitating because of fear of change and the opinions of others, or if you need time to reflect on what kind of life you truly want, begin your journey to choose your own life with this book.
100 questions await you that will change your perspective and open the door to new possibilities.

Into the book
A harbor is the safest place for a ship to stay, but ships are not built to dock in harbors.
The same goes for our lives.
If you stay in a comfortable and predictable routine, there may be no risk, but it is difficult to expect true growth.
If what weighs us down when we're young is the fear of failure, what we realize as we get older is the regret of a life we never even tried.
That regret lasts much longer and digs deeper into the heart than the bitterness of failure.
Because failure leaves at least a trace of effort, whereas things not tried will forever remain as mere 'what ifs'.
--- p.20, from “For Actions Without Regret”
Humans cannot survive on reality alone.
The soul is dried up by the daily repetition, predictable routines, and set roles.
Dreams are like oxygen that helps us bear the weight of this reality.
Dreams are not just illusions, they are a core element of our humanity.
A life without dreams is like a painting without color.
Just by dreaming, life begins to change.
--- p.48, from “Dreams are not a luxury, but a necessity”
Trust is the currency of human relationships.
It is the most valuable asset that forms the basis of all communication and transactions.
This kind of trust isn't built overnight.
Small daily choices become the building blocks that build a massive edifice of trust.
But that precious trust can be destroyed in a moment's mistake.
One lie, one broken promise, one betrayal is enough.
This is the cruel reality of trust.
That is why those who know the value of trust are willing to make sacrifices to keep it.
--- p.112, from “Trust: A Fragile Treasure”
When the United States gained independence from Britain, they did not simply break free from British rule.
We have been given the opportunity to build a democratic republic unprecedented in human history.
Likewise, individual independence opens the door to new possibilities.
Independence from parents, independence from past mistakes, and independence from the expectations of others all provide opportunities to forge one's own path.
Choices that were previously invisible before independence suddenly unfold before our eyes.
This is the true value of independence.
--- p.184, from “New Possibilities Opened by Independence”
We usually think of ourselves as material beings.
It is believed that the body comes first, and the mind or spirit resides within it.
And it sees humans with material bodies striving to attain spiritual enlightenment.
However, de Chardin emphasized that our essence lies in our 'spiritual being', and defined human life as a 'human experience' in which that essential soul briefly unfolds on the stage called Earth.
This perspective fundamentally changes the way we view our lives.
When we realize that we are beings with souls, the purpose of life becomes not simply to eat well and live well, but to love, serve, forgive, and express the divine light within us.
The same goes for our lives.

Publisher's Review
Asking the right questions is more important than finding the answers.
Modern people live in a world with more information than ever before, yet they are unable to find clear answers to the fundamental question, "How should we live?"
Above all, the reality is that we are so caught up in our busy daily lives that we don't even have time to seriously reflect on our lives.
『Advice from 100 Translators (100 Questions That Will Fundamentally Change Your Life)』 is a book designed to quench the thirst of modern people.
From Socrates to Steve Jobs, this book offers readers new perspectives and insights through the advice of 100 great figures from across the globe, past and present.
The most striking feature of this book is that it goes beyond simply listing quotes, delving deeply into the context in which each piece of advice came from and what it means for us today.
It is structured so that readers can achieve a systematic understanding rather than fragmentary knowledge by introducing not only the original text and translation, but also the person's life and philosophy.
A life roadmap completed in 10 topics
The ten themes of ‘Start and Execution’, ‘Dreams and Goals’, ‘Failure and Overcoming’, ‘Effort and Perseverance’, ‘Relationships and Trust’, ‘Love and Happiness’, ‘Wisdom and Philosophy’, ‘Freedom and Independence’, ‘Death and Life’, and ‘Fate and Transcendence’ are the journey of life itself that a human being faces while living.
Each chapter can be read independently, but it resonates more deeply when read as part of a single, pervasive flow.
In particular, this book asks the “right questions” rather than providing the “right answers.”
By shifting the question from "How can I succeed?" to "What does success mean to me?" and from "How can I avoid failure?" to "What can I learn from failure?", readers are guided to find their own answers.
A life compass for everyone who dreams of change
This book will be useful to all readers who are currently contemplating the direction of their lives.
From those just starting out in life to those in their middle age, it will serve as an excellent compass for those who want to reexamine their lives and explore new possibilities, regardless of their stage of life.
Above all, this book encourages readers to think and reflect actively, rather than passively accepting advice.
Each piece of advice is structured so that questions naturally arise that you can ask yourself after reading it, providing a time for deep self-exploration that goes beyond simple reading.
We hope that these special questions, created by gathering the wisdom of 100 great people, will bring fundamental and positive changes to readers' lives.
