Description
Book Introduction
《Kim Jong-won's World Philosophy Collection》, the 100th book published by humanist author Kim Jong-won.
This contains the author Kim Jong-won's reflections on why people change so differently despite being exposed to the same text over the past 16 years.
This collection, which will consist of a total of 30 volumes, will select 30 keywords essential to life and discuss them through 30 philosophers who fit those keywords.
The first person, as the author has revealed in numerous books he has published so far, is the great German writer, Goethe, whom he loves and respects without hesitation.
Goethe's representative keyword is 'growth', as can be seen in the saying, "As long as man strives, he wanders." This is like a task given to all those who wish to meet 'a better me today and tomorrow than yesterday' from the past to the present.
This reason alone is reason enough for you, the person thirsting for growth, to open this book.

Into the book
Don't stay too long in a space filled with only strife and division.
No matter how much time passes, no matter how much effort is invested, the flower of intelligence cannot grow there.
---From "Division is the choice of the lowly, and unity is the choice of the high"

The best people in the world are those who have an unstoppable dream for their own growth.
So, for those who want to start something good, there is no later time, and the moment always burns fiercely.
---From "Don't try too hard to do well, just do it to the end"

Don't read anything filled with despair, envy, jealousy, or hatred.
Because God doesn't appear in places like that.
God appears in a place filled with hope and presents you with a lucky opportunity.
---From "Your intellect will deepen just by not clicking on articles and posts with titles like this"

“Because it’s sincere, you have to be stronger, and because it’s sincere, you have to move forward further.
Because the true heart you hold is too precious to be given up.
If no one can change it, step up and change it all.”
---From "Your sincerity can be misunderstood at any time"

Be absorbed in the present time and space where you are alone.
Only in the present can man know the power and value of time alone.
Alone is music that can only be enjoyed in the present.
Don't miss the music the world plays just for you.
So slow down a little and enjoy being alone.
---From "The Power of Intelligence That Leads Alone Time to Growth"

If you want to have true faith, put your anxiety about yourself to rest.
You're not the only one who's afraid.
Also, you are not the only one who makes mistakes and fails.
Don't overestimate your competitors, and don't seriously underestimate yourself.
Sometimes, you have to abandon the word humility and rely on your own abilities to the point of calling it pride.
---From "Even if thousands leave, still believe in yourself and rely on yourself"

If you want good things to happen, change your nature. If you want to change your nature, change your thoughts. If you want to raise the level of your thoughts, start writing.
Ultimately, if you want to change your destiny, you have to start writing right now.
---From "Here's the proof that you live without thinking"

There is no hatred without reason in the world.
If there is someone you dislike or hate without any particular reason, you should reflect on yourself.
And always remember this fact.
Envy is a clumsy emotion that arises because we cannot see what others see.
---From "Why Can't I Enjoy What Others Enjoy?"

Before starting, everyone feels lost and unable to see the future, but the world always grants light to those who begin.
When you open the door, a new light that you have never seen before will shine brightly on you.
But, one thing must be clearly remembered.
The point is that you must keep the same mindset you had when you first started doing it.
That way, even if you lose everything in the future, you will always have the strength to start over.
---From "Gold is not gilded"

Publisher's Review
“If you want to become an intellectual, read the text differently.”

Many people aspire to become intellectuals.
For example, a person who makes even the smallest thing feel elegant.
Because such a person has a noble air about him, and even a single word makes you believe him.
But to become such a person requires quite a bit of intensive training.


Accordingly, author Kim Jong-won suggests pickling through text in the first volume of “Kim Jong-won’s World Philosophy Collection,” “Humans Wander As Long as They Try.”
Even if it's the same text, if you read it with three perspectives and questions in mind: "What perspective should I read it with?", "What will I find?", and "How will I incorporate what I find into my life?", the experience will be different.
Furthermore, he emphasizes that this gaze and question will lead us to a world of intelligence that is as endless as the universe.


If you wish to grow as an intellectual, day by day, I recommend immersing yourself in the author's stories and sentences to copy, along with Goethe's words.
There, a door to endless intelligence awaits you.
