If you change your routine, your life will change.
-If you write down and express your gratitude every day,
Our lives and future change.

'Thank you' is a greeting that expresses gratitude.
The English word 'gratitude' comes from the Latin word gratus, meaning "to be glad" or "to be thankful."
Gratitude is a state of mind that feels deep gratitude and acknowledgement for the positive experiences we encounter in life and the kindness of others.

Poet Na Tae-joo, a representative national poet of South Korea, has consistently shared his unique philosophy on gratitude in his lectures and interviews.
Poets often find reasons for gratitude in the small, ordinary things we pass by without a second thought.
After being discharged from the hospital after a long stay, the poet said, “There is nothing I am not grateful for, nothing that does not bring tears to my eyes.” He continued, “I am grateful for breathing, for drinking a glass of water, for the wind to blow.”
He confessed that he was grateful for the sunshine, the wind, a flower, his wife who always waited for him when he came home, his old, worn-out house, and even his worn-out slippers.
The poet often says, “Happiness begins with gratitude,” and emphasizes that a grateful heart is the power that allows us to view life positively and feel satisfaction.

『Gratitude Note』 is a diary-style notebook of daily life that fully embodies poet Na Tae-ju's life philosophy.
As you fill in the blank spaces on each page and record moments of gratitude, you will experience a daily life of enrichment and transformation that will transform you into a more mature being.

Poet Na Tae-ju, who was loved by the people of South Korea for his poem “Wildflowers.”
He, who once fought an illness and was on the verge of death, says that the force that got him up from his difficult life was none other than 'poetry'.
In this book, a collection of manuscripts from the hit work, "Poetry Asks Me to Live," the poet has gathered together the poignant writings that have protected him and released them to the world.
Poet Na Tae-ju says that the reason he was able to keep beautiful poems in his heart for a long time was the power of ‘writing.’
Since I was young, if there was a poem I liked, I would copy it down in my own notebook and reflect on its meaning.
The poet confesses, “Just by copying good writing, I naturally come to know the world and discover my inner self.”

This collection of manuscripts, which contains only the poems that have protected him so far and the sentences that have recently comforted his heart, includes poems that have been loved across generations, such as Jeong Jung-sik's song "I am a Firefly" that was sung by singer Hwang Ga-ram and comforted the entire nation, "Dream of Becoming Water" by Lucid Fall, a "musician with beautiful lyrics" chosen by the poet, Park Jun, a young poet who has gained attention for his tearful poetry of youth, and Choi Seung-ja, who captivates readers with the language of the soul. Each piece is accompanied by poet Na Tae-joo's sincere commentary on the poem and sentences of deep thought.
As you read and write 『Poetry and I Ask You to Live』, you will experience a happy journey of finding the answers to life.
