If you dream of success, remember just one thing!
'Going straight' is a simple but powerful 'life skill'.

Why do some people stay put, while others ultimately leap forward?
Small steps add up to change your life.

Every day, we hesitate before making choices, big and small.
Even though we know what we need to do, we put it off, saying, "I'll start tomorrow," and we stay within the safety of our own fences out of fear of failure.
We all have moments where we couldn't even get started because we were too concerned about the conditions, or moments where we missed opportunities because we were too concerned about the opportunities.
The resolution is firm, but why do we stay in the same place?

The author of "Straightforward Human" also ranked last in his entire school until his second year of high school.
There was no such thing as a dream, all I could do was just endure it and go with the flow.
However, he graduated at the top of his class in high school and, despite his family's financial ruin, earned his own money to enter the law department of a prestigious university in Seoul.
Now, he has grown into a top 0.1% instructor, raising the grades of countless students from 8th to 1st, and is active as a top 1% power blogger and self-development lecturer.
The secret to that change was not in grand resolutions, but in small, daily practices.
The five-minute rule, the multi-step strategy, the power of immersion, and the attitude of not being afraid of failure are not simple theories, but laws of practice that have actually changed lives, leading to change.

Success comes not from special talent, but from the power to never stop.
So, just try going straight for 1%.
Those small steps become the strength to overcome failure, the courage to turn uncertainty into opportunity, and ultimately, the driving force to make your desired goals a reality.
There's no need to waste time preparing for perfection.
Going forward is not a grand resolution, it is a single step you take right now.
The little straight steps within you are the most powerful weapon in life.

Where does the power to drive change and growth come from? The key lies in forward progress.
Going straight is a steady action that clearly sets a direction and does not stop.
A straight-forward person quietly walks his own path even when swayed by the noise and temptations around him.
Listen to your inner voice, not the standards of others, and move forward following that resonance.
A person who establishes his own center, believes in possibilities, and realizes his potential.
A person who ultimately makes life completely 'his own' is a straight-forward person.

What's the knot that's tying you up right now? That thing you've vowed to do in your head but still hesitate and put off—that's your Gordian knot.
The sword that will cut the string of fear is already in your hand.
All it takes is one decision and one decisive action.

--- p.54

Don't be fooled by the sign that says 'tomorrow'.
That day may never come.
Change happens today, and dreams come true only when you take action now.
There is no tomorrow.

Whether it's dreams, love, work, or adventure, life brings events that shake us up.
If it makes me more myself, then I have to give it my all.
At that moment, we feel a thrill of joy and the feeling of 'living true to ourselves'.

--- p.67

Most of the fears we feel are not real, but rather imaginary things in our heads.
When you actually face it, it's often nothing special, with emotions mixed with self-doubt and over-interpretation.
Once you face it, fear surprisingly easily crumbles.
Fear doesn't go away if you ignore it.
Rather, it follows me more persistently like a shadow.

In an age where people dream of overnight success, consistent effort is the rare resource that makes the difference.
Propulsion is the driving force of human beings in a straight line.
It starts out slow, but once it picks up speed it grows like a snowball.
This virtuous cycle of inertia and consistency is the core engine that propels life forward.
--- p.96

In life, there is both a 'will to succeed' and a 'will to fail'.
'Will to fail' refers to a psychological state that unconsciously moves toward failure.
A type of self-destructive behavior, also known as 'self-sabotage'.
It is a contradictory state where you consciously want to do well, but unconsciously you are sabotaging yourself.

--- p.134

As long as you remain in the conditions that created the failure, the result will not change.
If you walk the same path without change, life will just go around in circles.
Rather than vaguely hoping that 'this time things will go well,' we need to put into practice 'this time we will do it differently.'
Only by choosing a different path can you get on a different track.

--- p.137

As thoughts grow longer, we become more anxious and cautious.
This is because people tend to stay in familiar and stable places.
So, a straightforward person follows the attitude of 'finding the answer as you go'.
There is no need for a perfect strategy.
All you need is a sense of purpose and direction.
You can supplement and correct it while running.

--- p.177

If you go straight, the intended results do not always follow.
Don't be disappointed.
It's a given.
No matter how perfect the results are, the situation can be shaken by external variables.
So, embrace uncertainty and unpredictability.
Make your dreams and purpose your top priority, and treat everything else as something you can always adjust.
Those who go straight will inevitably encounter surprising and unexpected results.

--- p.178

Entitlementism is the idea that you must first get approval to start something.
It is an attitude that believes that one can only take on a challenge after meeting certain qualifications.
But what stops people from starting is not a lack of ability, but self-censorship, wondering, "Am I qualified to do this?"

--- p.184

No one knows what will succeed.
It happens frequently in all fields, including movies, music, dramas, and novels, that anticipated works are ignored and unexpected results receive attention.
Success always involves an element of luck and chance.
In that case, the wisest strategy would be to produce a lot.

--- p.197

Action leads to action, and procrastination leads to more procrastination.
The first five-minute rule lowers the barrier to getting started, and the second five-minute rule raises the barrier to completion.
Five minutes may seem short, but the seeds of change are hidden within it.
A small movement that starts from 5 minutes can eventually lead to a butterfly effect that changes the trajectory of your life.
Great changes always start with seemingly small 5 minutes.

--- p.216

If you look closely into your subconscious, there is at least one story that touches your heart.
Just taking it out and looking at it can change the direction.
If you don't have one, you can make one now.
If there is a life you want to live, experience it, talk about it, and build it.
Stories accumulated in this way soon become my own narrative and the strength of my life.

--- p.219

A direct person is someone who takes charge of his or her own life.
Follow your inner convictions, not the standards of others.
You too, walk towards the heart.
At such times, life shines most brightly and brilliantly.
If you want to follow your dreams, go straight.
A powerful driving force is created along the way.
Don't just admire other people's lives and miss out on your own.
We each have the right and power to live our own lives.
Ultimately, going straight is a courageous challenge toward a free self.
