“live at your own pace” and “it’s okay to take it slow,” but it’s hard to find people who actually live that way.\u003cbr\u003e I was always anxious that I would fall behind if I lived slowly, and anxious that I would be pushed aside if I lived at my own pace.\u003cbr\u003e So I ran and ran, even blindfolded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I worked at World Vision, I helped and rescued hundreds of thousands of people with funds worth hundreds of billions of won.\u003cbr\u003e That's also why I'm called 'big hand' even though I have small hands. \u003cbr\u003eBut systematized, large-scale support inevitably leaves out blind spots where the most desperate people are left out.\u003cbr\u003e There are also structural limitations that prevent us from providing immediate assistance in urgent situations.\u003cbr\u003e On the other hand, 'I'll pay for it' is 120 out of 100 in effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction because I can directly help the person in front of me with my own money according to my own judgment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you look around carefully, you will see that there are people in need of help everywhere, both domestically and internationally.\u003cbr\u003e No need for grand scale or special methods.\u003cbr\u003e All it takes is one thought, sent to one person, one day.\u003cbr\u003e The great help we receive throughout our lives remains in our hearts, but isn't it the small, heartfelt touches and glances that keep us warm for a long time?\u003cbr\u003e --- p.41\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Little feet that decided to walk, little hands that decided to give! Finding a way to live well, a way to live true to myself, isn't a grand task. \u003cbr\u003eI think it all starts with, 'How do I walk today and how do I use my hands?'\u003cbr\u003e Because those small, repeated actions every day accumulate to create my life, and that life will surely gradually lead me to become the person I want to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.71\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Anyone over 60 is bound to have a few creaks or two in one or two places.\u003cbr\u003e It may be because humans are organisms with a set 'shelf life', but this is especially true for body parts that have been overused since childhood, like mine.\u003cbr\u003e So, rather than a breakdown or malfunction, this is a sign that a long-standing component has done its job, and a bill for completing the task assigned to me.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.81\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The biggest feature of my class is that it is field-oriented.\u003cbr\u003e This is a method of directly applying learned theories to real-world cases.\u003cbr\u003e Half of the three-hour class is devoted to theory, while the other half consists of country-specific case studies, student presentations, and discussions. \u003cbr\u003eTo do this, I have to study as hard as a student for 16 weeks.\u003cbr\u003e So, for two days before class, I read related papers and reports, analyze the latest field situations and issues, and create teaching materials.\u003cbr\u003e New experiences and information from relief efforts brought in each year—from South Sudan in 2022, Rwanda in 2023, and the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh in 2024—make these lively classes possible.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Rohingya are called \"Bengali Kala\" (black people from the Bay of Bengal) and are subject to strict controls on movement, occupation, marriage, number of children, and education.\u003cbr\u003e Even when going to a neighboring town, you need a separate pass, and there is a curfew after 6 PM.\u003cbr\u003e There are also reports that couples are given permission to marry on the condition that they have only one child, and those who have more than one face huge fines or up to 10 years in prison.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Whether you travel alone, in pairs, or in groups, the essence of travel is the same. \u003cbr\u003eIt's about breaking away from my familiar routine and entering an unfamiliar world to have fun and interesting times, finding out what I want in that time and meeting my true self, encouraging and recharging myself as I encounter myself, and thus, liking myself more.\u003cbr\u003e I think it doesn't matter if you're alone or with someone, as long as you can take care of this.\u003cbr\u003e But what if you set out with that expectation in mind, only to find it difficult to actually pack it? In that case, I recommend closing your eyes and boldly going \"separately, yet together.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In January 2023, Hanbiya's retirement school opened its doors.\u003cbr\u003e And the only freshman was admitted.\u003cbr\u003e (That's me!) As a principal, teacher, and student, I personally designed a curriculum optimized for my own goals and standards to coincide with the opening of the school.\u003cbr\u003e The retirement school is a four-year system, with each grade being five years long, so it was a perfect fit. \u003cbr\u003eIt is divided into 1st grade (65-69 years old), 2nd grade (70-74 years old), 3rd grade (75-79 years old), and 4th grade (80+), and each grade will be flexibly adjusted according to the physical, financial, social, and emotional state of that period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Honestly, the good times are all gone.\u003cbr\u003e Some people might ask, “What else is there left at this hour when the sun is setting and darkness is falling?”\u003cbr\u003e I think differently.\u003cbr\u003e While morning or midday may be appropriate for growth and achievement, evening or night is much more appropriate for maturity and leisure.\u003cbr\u003e There is no one time that fits everything.\u003cbr\u003e What matters is where you focus and how you view life as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.263\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublisher's Review\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eNow is the time to learn how to walk well, not how to run well!\u003cbr\u003e Why Han Bi-ya, from \"The Return of the Wind,\" Talks About the \"Pace of Life\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hanbiya's life was always 'forward, further'. \u003cbr\u003eIn my 20s, I quit my job and walked the world, in my 40s, I saved lives at disaster sites, and in my 50s, I taught students about global citizenship.\u003cbr\u003e He always ran without rest, without stopping.\u003cbr\u003e But at some point, I realized that 'running' was not the answer to life.\u003cbr\u003e In his new book, “It Was Good Then, It’s Good Now!”, he tells the story of his life as a “retired racehorse” and confesses:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “You don’t have to run like a racehorse anymore.\u003cbr\u003e If you've run well enough, it's time to learn to walk for yourself.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, the author describes the process of learning to let go of the rushed life and walk slowly, and delivers a warm message to modern people who are tired of competition and speed: “Now is the time to learn how to walk well, not how to run well.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA life that makes at least one person happy every day.\u003cbr\u003e How to faithfully love this moment, the present!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"It Was Good Then, It's Good Now!\" contains Hanbiya's signature small, practical humor, such as \"making just one person happy a day\" through a single glance, a single word, or a single concern.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, the author shares the life wisdom he has learned while traveling the world through vivid experiences, and asks again about the meaning of 'help' and the essence of 'happiness'.\u003cbr\u003e Through the stories of people we meet at relief sites and on remote trips, we are reminded of the power of gratitude and solidarity.\u003cbr\u003e The author, who still places gratitude and love at the center of his life, is grateful that he can still learn and laugh even in the harsh reality through the heart of an African girl who said, \"This is enough,\" the memory of a warm day shared over a bowl of noodles, and the small but deep helping hands extended along his travels.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book is a greeting from the author to both the world and himself, and a warm encouragement to adults who are tired of vague worries and anxieties about the future, saying, \"It's okay as it is now.\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
