- You can never succeed with just natural talent.
One more thing is needed, and that is consistent effort and training.
Talent is the skill and ability needed to do something.
It refers to both an individual's innate talents and abilities acquired through training.
But people usually say, “I guess I don’t have a talent for business.
“There are no customers.”, “Son Heung-min has a natural talent for soccer.”, “I don’t have a talent for studying.
“Just look at our parents.” This is how we fixate on innate abilities and results.
Did Son Heung-min really succeed because of his innate talent?

- No one's life can be completely satisfying, whether it's the reality of being forced to study something you don't want to, not being able to buy everything you want because your family isn't wealthy, or breaking up with a friend of the opposite sex.
It is also said that what happens in life is neutral.
There is no good or bad.
If you only think about the negative side, everything can become negative.
Especially during adolescence, we often feel irritated for no reason and feel the urge to deviate.
If you have a lot to do and are asked to write a gratitude journal, it may feel complicated and difficult.
But try to be grateful for even the smallest things.
I don't know how my future will change.

- People who make choices based on what others decide for them, regardless of their own will, tend to end up blaming others for their failures.
On the contrary, insisting that your dream is always right and others' opinions are wrong is like a child throwing a tantrum.
It is extremely dangerous to blindly insist on your own opinion.
There is a high possibility that the situation will worsen and turn into an emotional fight.
First, think carefully about why your parents are against it, then tell them your specific plan.
And show your passion and confidence in pursuing your dreams.

- To achieve sustainable happiness, it is helpful to set several small goals and frequently feel the joy of achieving them.
The moment you achieve a big goal, dopamine is released and you feel happy, but the effect is said to be short-lived.
If you neglect the little things, you will never achieve great success.
Every little action will lead you to happiness.

- We need rivals in our lives.
Because we become 'friendly competitors' who help each other develop.
It is difficult to get good grades in schools with good class atmospheres.
Because we both work hard.
Nevertheless, I feel like studying among excellent friends.
Even though there are more than one or two rivals around you.
Because it not only gives me a burden that weighs me down, but also gives me positive stimulation.
I can keep away from enemies who harm me, and keep close to rivals who help me develop.

- If there is something I want to achieve in a certain field, I should emulate those who have succeeded in that field.
If you want to become rich, you need to know how rich people achieved success and what trials and errors they went through to increase your chances of becoming rich.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates once said:
“It’s not my fault that I’m poor when I’m young, but it’s my fault that I’m poor when I’m old.”

- Dyson's secret to success was its extensive investment in technology and unique design.
But beyond this, wasn't it the tenacity and courage to constantly challenge yourself until you achieve your goals that drove your success? His seemingly fearless and reckless challenges are still ongoing.
Even though he is now over 70 years old, James Dyson still shows his passion for developing new products.
We never stop challenging ourselves to find innovation without fear.

- If you want to live the way you want, you have to organize your thoughts.
You need to visualize the picture you have in your mind.
Don't just think about it, focus on it and make it visible in front of you.
You have to keep looking at it and put it into practice when the right time comes.
One such method is a bucket list.
Here's what's great about writing down a bucket list:
First, you can live a life of your own choosing, not a life dictated by others.
Second, whether you're conscious of it or not, try to accomplish your bucket list.
Third, I can clearly see what I want.
Fourth, as you cross off items from your bucket list, you may find yourself developing new goals.

- Master Lee Geum-hee summarizes the points to keep in mind when introducing yourself during an interview.
First, include your own unique story in your self-introduction.
Even the smartest interviewer can't remember all 100 applicants in a day.
Since applicants are remembered for their unique stories, it is best to avoid what others say and tell your own story.
Second, if you want to show off your strengths, it's a good idea to provide specific examples.
For example, if you want to say that you are creative, you should tell stories from your school life or your family life where you actually solved a problem creatively.

Just as the Eiffel Tower comes to mind when you think of Paris, France, is there an image that comes to mind when you think of yourself? Whether in interviews, in your resume, or even in your daily life, you're expected to bring your own unique style.
The process of knowing myself and putting my own color on myself is personal branding.
Personal branding is a term often used when creating content online, but even if you don't create content, developing your own unique story is essential.
