My business, which I started with boldness and confidence, was swept up in the storm of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, and what followed was a period of countless hardships, adversity, emptiness, and frustration.
How did it end up like this? Is this how life ends? I just wanted to live the way I was born.
Was I supposed to live like everyone else, colorless and odorless, conforming to society's established model? In the desperate struggle to get back on my feet, I've regretted my choices countless times and even blamed the heavens for the constant, uncontrollable events that unfolded.

No one asked me to lift heavy weights.
It is a choice you made to become stronger.
That is why it is natural to endure the physical pain you feel during exercise and lift the weight with all your might.
That's how you develop a strong body and mind, how you maximize your potential, and how you make yourself believe that you can do anything.

Ever since I was little, nothing has ever been easy for me, and things that pass by without a problem for others often don't work out that way for me.
My destiny began the moment I first went to the United States, when I had to voluntarily take the test and prove my potential in defiance of the school's decision not to accept Koreans.
Even after that, my own show of suddenly encountering a big incident and falling into a difficult and arduous situation and then working like crazy to achieve results continued.

So, practice enjoying silence.
The more uncomfortable the silence is, the more you need to observe the other person and think from their perspective in a given situation.
Think about how you can say it so that the conversation flows smoothly.
Furthermore, think twice before saying what you absolutely must and shouldn't say in a conversation.
If you're hesitating whether or not to say this, it's usually better not to.
You should enjoy silence so that you can develop the habit of thinking before speaking.

I would like to say that the effort to master power naps is absolutely worth it.
The incredible power of Power Nap can affect not only your studies and work, but also your entire life.
This is because you can increase your concentration while working and maintain a work-life balance, which in turn can lead to improved work efficiency, performance, and ultimately, quality of life. -198

To summarize briefly what I'm talking about in image training, it's the practice of believing that what you want has already happened, vividly picturing that scene in your mind, and bringing that emotion back to the present.
When my heart is thrilled and happy, that feeling awakens the potential within me, giving me the strength and reason to endure the current difficulties and move forward.
Ultimately, a good imagination can turn impatience into action, making you take steps toward what needs to be done now instead of just lying in bed.

As my touchdown count increased, my importance and performance on the team gradually began to attract the attention of my teammates.
As I did that, I gradually noticed that my team members' attitudes and behavior toward me were changing.
And I was no longer a timid little Asian with glasses and an appearance complex, but was being reborn as a charming American football player with a strange skin color and intriguing looks.
