The limits of my language are the limits of my world.

Description
Book Introduction
The protagonist of the second volume of 『Kim Jong-won's World Philosophy Collection』, which consists of 30 volumes and contains humanist Kim Jong-won's reflections on the reasons why people change differently even while reading the same text over the past 16 years, is 'Ludwig Wittgenstein'.
This collaboration is not awkward at all, as the author emphasizes the importance of language choice through books such as “Pretty Words You Tell Me,” “Parents’ Words,” and “There Are No Words Better Than Poetry from a Mother,” as well as through her own SNS.
The reason is that the keyword that represents Wittgenstein, the most passionate genius of the 20th century, is ‘language.’
In fact, as the saying goes, "Ah, it's different, and oh, it's different," language, expressed through speech and writing, is difficult for everyone.
But that doesn't mean you can live without worrying about it.
Because the outcome of our lives depends on the language we use.
If you are struggling with these concerns and lamenting your own low language skills, I highly recommend you read this book.
The author himself confesses that he “thought with mad intensity, read and wrote with sensitivity,” and by following in the footsteps of Wittgenstein, he shows us how to expand the limits of the world we will live in through language.
We just have to read it passionately.

Into the book
It is not poverty that is inherited, but the poor language that is inherited, it is not the worst days of ignorance that are inherited, but the worst language of ignorance that is inherited.
It's not that something is wrong for no reason, it's that you are using language that is not right for you and your precious family.
---From "We are fighting with language now"
This is precisely why it is said, “Even discomfort is a gift from the world, so accept even worries with gratitude.”
If you think of everything as a gift, you can learn from everything.
Life is ultimately about choices, and it is full of language.
So the limits of my language are the limits of my world.
---From "What should I do to avoid dying like this?"
If you live a life of seeking enlightenment and learning, it is even better to say, “Thanks to you, I learned a lot today.”
This is what I find most surprising about meeting people who never stop growing, in so many professions: entrepreneurs, artists, self-employed people, and more.
They always met each other with a learning attitude, and the language they spoke to each other was also filled with the language of learning.
If you want something from the world and people, you must speak the language that matches that desire.
---From "A Word That Turns Every Space into a Wise School of Enlightenment"
If you change your perspective, the story changes.
The sea of life shows only endless despair to those who despair, but it gives only hope to those who seek it.
Remember this truth, it never changes.
If you change your 'attitude' toward life, your 'choices' in daily life will change, and ultimately, you can add 'value' to your life.
---From "If you change your attitude, you can change the value of your life"
We can only describe our world through language, and a world we cannot describe through our own language is meaningless.
And it is writing that helps us develop the depth and subtlety of that language, and only through writing can we show others the world we have seen.
Writing is an act of inviting loved ones into your world.
---From "The Story of a Man Who Enjoyed Life as a Prisoner and Even Rejected Inheritance"
If you are struggling for yourself, if you firmly believe in your dreams and hopes, have the courage to be misunderstood for a moment.
You will eventually achieve your dreams, and those who turned their backs on you will come back to you.
When I get better, everything changes.
---From "A Word from Ohtani, Who Made a Contract of 920 Billion Won"
Remember.
The moment you become jealous, your possibilities stop there.
So, people who find the good and the good in others never give themselves over to jealousy and envy for a moment.
Because I know the clear reason why he is doing well.
This one is no exception.
It's always like that.
---From “Jealousy and envy prove one’s ignorance”
In other words, you have to brush past what you have to brush past in order to catch what you really need to catch.
I must always be at the center of every decision.
Let us not be afraid of the process of rejection and being doubted.
Everything is just a process of becoming a better me.
Remember that fact and always make your judgments based on your own mental health.
---From "My mental health comes first"
Enjoying life is important, but to make those enjoyable moments valuable for a long time, it is good to write down the moments you enjoyed.
Writing things down is definitely beneficial to you because it helps you remember, lets you know what you enjoyed and with what mindset, and even lets you record your emotions.
---From "Don't just enjoy it, write down the moments you enjoyed"
Knowing and being able to do are two different things, and understanding and being able to explain are two different things.
It's not just different, it's on a whole other level.
Calmly think about what is different.
If I can't distinguish between these two, I'll never truly understand what I know and what I don't know.
In other words, no matter how hard you study, you will end up living a life where nothing is left behind.
It's not that something is wrong for no reason, it's that you are using language that is not right for you and your precious family.

Publisher's Review
“A life without limits begins with the language you choose.”
Author Kim Jong-won and Wittgenstein have quite a lot in common.
This is the part about handling language delicately and living a life of reflection for better expression.
But there is something much more similar than this.
The fact is that we have thrown away the good conditions that the world talks about.
As mentioned several times in "The Limits of My Language Are the Limits of My World," Wittgenstein shared the vast legacy he had been given with his siblings and artists.
Even when he had the opportunity to be released from prison of war, he did not choose freedom.
The author could also enjoy a comfortable financial situation by working, writing books, and giving lectures at the same time, but he is pursuing the path of a full-time writer.
It was a decision both of them made to focus on writing.
Yet, the two never show any signs of regret.
Moreover, Wittgenstein even said, “Please tell them that my life has been wonderful.”
Often times, we see people who surprise people with such unexpected decisions, but who never waver in their lives.
Where does that power come from? If you want to know the secret, you should pick up this book right now.
As you read Wittgenstein's famous quotes and the author's story based on them, and write down sentences, you will find a standard that will keep you from wandering with a limitless perspective in any situation.
And you will realize that all the answers lie in the language you choose.
