Get out of the world that says, “Just go to Seoul National University.”
I decided to create a life that I can live by.

Starting with MBTI, personal color, zodiac sign, blood type, psychological test, and even fortune telling...
The recent wave of self-exploration that has swept through our society shows no sign of cooling down.
This reveals the desire and will of people to explore themselves and live with individuality.
Choi Yi-sol, a YouTuber and author of this book, has been interested in 'self-identity' for a long time and has been creating content about related questions and stories.
As a recorder who has been writing for 16 years this year, I started by sharing videos that encourage an independent and solid life, starting with 'How to get closer to myself through a diary', 'Questions to discover myself', 'Life's career = A+B+C', 'How to choose the best life', 'How to act with integrity in critical moments'.
It has received a lot of attention, with over 35 million cumulative views to date.

This is a self-development essay based on the author's experiences, such as "I wanted to succeed, but I thought I would die before that."
This book contains the story of a person who lived his entire life fiercely pursuing growth, success, and perfectionism, from high school to Seoul National University and starting his own business. After being diagnosed with a rare disease, he tirelessly strived to find a way of life that suited him, not society.
It helps people question the things that have been established as social success and happiness, such as high salaries, prestigious and prestigious jobs, high academic qualifications, being a freshman, and the Miracle Morning, and helps them re-establish a life roadmap tailored to 'themselves'.
In this process, we examine how my temperament, values, biorhythms, and strengths can lead to work, rest, and talent, and introduce the methods step by step.
We also encourage participation by providing a section where people can try things out themselves.
This provides us with an opportunity for self-exploration, as we have become accustomed to objective answers rather than subjective ones through spoon-fed education.
This book examines from various perspectives where individual happiness and success come from, and presents specific ways to realize individual uniqueness and diversity.

Everyone knows the importance of living life true to yourself.
But I don't know exactly what is right for me.
Because it is too vague for us who have always lived with standards set by external factors.
This book subtly shares the journey of a person who has carved a path through such vagueness through persistent self-reflection and exploration.

This book covers the journey of discovering your own rhythm in everyday life, walking to that rhythm, and approaching 'your own success.'
My own success is not the applause of others, but a life in which the silence within me quietly nods its head.
Some people find satisfaction in the music they listen to while walking at sunset, others in the furniture they made with their own hands, and still others in the laughter at a simple table.
The rhythm of life is different for each person, and the definition of success is also different for each person.
Our job is to live each day at the rhythm that best suits us, and to respect the rhythms of others along the way.

One day, as my thoughts were going crazy, I reflected on the choices that had made me who I am today.
'Why did you decide that back then?' I asked.
As I followed the answer, I noticed more clues than I expected.
The turning points in our lives, the ways we deal with conflict, the choices we instinctively avoid, are all embedded in our attitudes, tendencies, and identities.

The first power of diary writing is observation.
Observation is the act of looking deeper into what I feel and experience rather than just passing it by.
In our fast-paced daily lives, we often miss important things.
A vague sense of anxiety that passes through me as I prepare to go to work, anger that blossoms from my boss's words, and regret that surges on the way home.
I don't need to hold onto every emotion that comes into my head, but they often contain important clues about me.

Big challenges can still be scary.
In such cases, let's start with small challenges.
Let's try something new once a month to refresh ourselves.
A small challenge is literally a challenge that can be attempted in a small way.
For example, if you usually take the subway to work, you could try taking the bus one day or try taking a one-day drawing class.
You may also visit a neighborhood you have never been to before.
Even implementing small habits, like taking probiotics in the morning, is a small challenge.
By taking on small challenges and recording them, you can create a new rhythm in your daily life.
It's a kind of variation.

In my case, when I take the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), my autonomy score is 100 and my risk-aversion score is low.
It is a strong tendency to be proactive and independent.
Even the counselor was surprised and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone with such high autonomy.”
They say that people with low risk aversion, like me, are not easily intimidated by others and push forward with their own things like a bulldozer.
So, while working at the company, I couldn't help but naturally worry about my work.
I was drawn to work that suited my personality.
