Book Introduction
"How to become a happy person by being confident in what you do and having so many things you want to do."

Motivation, direction, and fun
A career guidance class from a veteran career guidance teacher that will boost your motivation to study.

“Am I abnormal because I don’t have anything I particularly want to do?”
“What can I be when I grow up?”
“Why am I not better than others at something?”


Have you ever felt unsure of how to answer the question, "What is your dream?" and, honestly, felt pathetic for not having found what you truly want to do? Have you ever feared tomorrow, worried that you'd become a social outcast, that you'd become a worthless child and a burden to your parents? You immerse yourself in computer games or social media to drown out the overwhelming sense of helplessness, but deep down, don't you desperately yearn for someone to help you find your path?

The author of this book, career guidance teacher Choi Young-sook, encourages and supports us, saying that we are not alone in this situation, and that adolescence is a period of life preparation designed to address such concerns. She encourages and supports us to find answers together, step by step, from now on.
Everyone encounters obstacles on their way to finding their destination in life.
To live a happy life, adversity quotient (AQ), the ability to overcome failure, is more important than intelligence quotient (IQ).
People with a high adversity quotient don't get frustrated by blaming others or themselves for their failures.
When faced with a difficult problem, I don't back down, but instead find a way to solve it.

This book is a career note workbook that contains various questions to help you increase your adversity index.
By answering various questions in the career notebook, you will be able to understand yourself better.
Also, we don't just vaguely tell you to cheer up or tell you to just work hard.
Using the interests of teenagers and their language and sensibilities, it helps them find a way out of the complex, labyrinthine, and frustrating reality.
We will tell you specifically how to discover your own strengths and find what you want to do and your dreams.
Life is not a movie with a predetermined ending.
No one knows if it's a happy ending or a sad ending.
We have plenty of time to change the ending.
Now, join us on our journey to a happy and bright future with this book!

Into the book
- From now on, set your appearance standard as ‘yourself’ and be confident.
Even in interviews, impressions are considered more than appearances.
An impression is the overall image that a person gives off.
A positive image comes from confidence and self-assurance.
From now on, throw away your dark expression and hard face, stand in front of the mirror, and look at yourself confidently.


- Branding is about communicating who I am.
It shows what my abilities are that set me apart from others and where I am needed.
Try raising your abilities like you would raise a game character's abilities.
There are more careers to choose from.
There are many ways to increase your abilities, but one of them is ‘self-branding.’


- No matter what others say, there is one person who supports us.
It's 'me'.
Even though we are always together, we do not know how precious it is.
Because I can't see it.
Because you can only see it through a mirror.
Don't worry about external things and focus on yourself.
Look at your present self through the mirror and talk to your future self.
What matters is 'me'.


- There is a way to maximize the power of positivity.
It is called ‘positive affirmation’.
This is a self-suggestion that the state I desire will definitely come true.
It may seem like nothing, but they say that if you keep thinking about it, your wishes will eventually come true.
There are many such cases.
Bill Gates is said to have hypnotized himself about the secret to becoming the world's richest man.


- There is a Tibetan proverb that says, "If you worry and your worries disappear, you will have no worries."
Consider whether your current worry is about something that has already happened, something that is actually quite trivial, something that could never happen, or something you can't do anything about.
Let's stop worrying and focus on what needs to be done right now.
From now on, throw away useless worries in the trash can.

- Just as reversing words creates a new twist, we need to look at things from a different angle.
As always, if you don't agree with other people's opinions and try to change things, there will be no reversal.

What if we added a dot to the word 'Impossible'? 'I'm possible'.
When others say it can't be done, if you just do one thing, things will change like this.
A new idea starts with a single dot.

- Schools are made up of countless organizations.
There are class organizations, cleaning teams, roles for sports events, volunteer work assignments, school trip room assignments, subject-based groups, and performance evaluation team formation.
Take on a leadership role in an organization, big or small, at least once.
The experience of finding work on your own, taking the initiative to handle it, and communicating with your team members is a great help in your personal growth.


- It is said that it is helpful to visualize the process rather than the outcome of the goal.
Just imagining the outcome won't do anything.
Because we only desperately wanted the goal and ignored the process of achieving it.
Anyone can do what they want.
Dreams don't come true that easily.


- There is no need to follow the exact notes of the top student in the entire school.
Just as each person has a different personality, each person's study method is also different.
If you stick to a specific note-taking format or method and just stick to it, you'll quickly get bored.
Just as everyone's handwriting is different, everyone's note-taking method is different.
If there are 20 people in a classroom, all 20 people have their own worldview about organization.


- There is a proverb that says, 'Drips wear away the stone.'
Drip water refers to water dripping from a roof.
A stepping stone is a stone staircase placed in front and back of a house to allow people to go up and down.
As the falling water accelerates, it hits the stone and wears it down little by little.
Of course, we can't see it.
If you keep hitting the stone, it will wear down more and more and eventually a hole will form in it.
It is a very small force, but when accumulated, it can eventually achieve great things.

Publisher's Review
"A career navigation tool that energizes apathetic and anxious teenagers."
A Rejuvenating Recipe for Teens Feeling Apathetic and Helpless


Sometimes, changes in consumer behavior can give us a glimpse into how modern people's attitudes toward life are changing.
The most popular fruits sold in our country have been apples and tangerines.
However, statistics were released showing that sales of strawberries and grapes increased significantly starting in 2020, and in 2022, they took the first and second place in sales.
But the reason is both surprising and absurd.
It is because of ‘guichanism’.
Apples need to be peeled with a knife and tangerines need to be peeled by hand, but strawberries and grapes can be washed in water and put in your mouth, which is less of a hassle, and that is why strawberries and grapes are considered the kings of fruits.

The author explains that this attitude toward life is similar to 'lack of motivation'.
They say that the modern tendency to hold a smartphone in one's hand and solve everything conveniently is also influencing the lives of young people.
She emphasizes that seeing students who were listless and not trying anything even during class made her realize how scary procrastination can be, and that this was one of the main reasons she wrote this book.
The author began actively seeking ways to help students overcome apathy, especially after taking on the role of career counselor.
In order to discover and prepare for a career that suits your aptitude, it is important to experience as many things as possible and put them into practice. However, there were too many students who lacked the motivation.

This book does not contain any of the career stories that often come to mind when thinking about career classes, such as job introductions and promising future careers.
Before looking for a job, it is important to first develop the motivation to do something and try it.
The author, who calls himself a "career motivator" for students who have nothing they want to do or become, motivates them to explore career paths by using teenagers' interests as material.
I embark on a journey of career exploration, exploring who I am, what I like and dislike, what I want to become, how I want to live, what I can do now, and what I need to prepare.

A growth roadmap to becoming a confident adult!
