Let's do our best in everything

Not asking and not refusing

Into the book
People lived thinking that happiness was something that was so high, rare, beautiful, and splendid.

--- p.6

That's what I think.
'All the people in this world are already happy people.
There are only those who have found happiness and those who have not yet found it.'
--- p.8

I work so hard, give my all, so why doesn't the world recognize me? Why can't I escape poverty? Why haven't I become a famous poet after writing poetry for so long and with such devotion?
--- p.21

My mind became calm and at ease.
The dissatisfaction in my heart also disappeared.

--- p.36

The man who finished his teaching career is now an old man.
All that remains for men now is to read and write poetry.

--- p.40

Happiness is not something that is far away.
It's not something big or great.
It's close to me, hidden in the small and insignificant things.
It's just that we haven't found it.

--- p.56

“In this world, there are only those who know they are happy and those who don’t.”
--- p.60

From that day on, the man thought of himself as a truly happy person.
That man is me.
I am Na Tae-ju, a person who has lived for over 60 years writing poetry.
--- p.62

Well, you go and look for it too.
Now, it's your turn.
--- p.65

Publisher's Review
★ Poet Na Tae-ju's autobiographical essay
★ A hymn to a life filled with comfort and hope
★ The life of poet Na Tae-ju, depicted by Bologna Illustrator of the Year Lee Kyung-guk

"A life essay written by poet Na Tae-ju, calmly reflecting on his 80 years of life."
His warm outlook on life and hope deeply move those living today.


The man who graduated from high school and became an elementary school teacher loved poetry so much.
So, in order to successfully fulfill his roles as a school teacher, poet, husband, father, and member of society, he adopted the motto, “Let’s do our best in everything.”
He was taken to the hospital before his retirement at the age of 62 and was on the verge of death, but was discharged after six months and returned home, where he saw the world differently.
So, my second motto is, “Let’s live each day as if it were the first day of this world and organize each day as if it were the last.”
But no matter how hard he wrote poetry, the world did not recognize him.
But I couldn't live without writing poetry.
As time passed, people began to read his poetry and listen to his stories.
He gave up his job as a school teacher and has been living solely as a poet for 15 years.
And I think I'm a really happy person.
He says that happiness is near us.
And he adds:
“You too, find that happiness.
Now it's your turn."
