“The important thing is not to be discouraged by failure!”
How to see the sprouts of opportunity that emerge from failure as a green light for your life.

I'm sure you'd want it too.
The road to success without effort, the luck of hoping that only I will do well, the moment like winning the lottery out of nowhere.
But how fleeting is the time spent envying and yearning for fortune! No one in this world can live a perfect life, nor can anyone fill their life's history with success.
Rather than obsessively pursuing success, wouldn't it be more beneficial to find ways to live less unhappily? Here, we present the life-saving tips of author Jeong Ji-eum, who lives each moment with a sense of urgency despite frequent breakdowns in everything.
The method is to examine failures that still have opportunities and room for improvement, and then find the appropriate colors from the palette and apply them.
It's the same mistake, but 'a less fatal mistake than before', and it's my fault, but 'a mistake that I've grown from before'.
Rather than lumping together the countless failures of daily life as bad memories, the author unfolds them in a delicate manner through the prism of optimism.

Is the color of failure really gray? _Failure's Personal Color

Interviews with successful people often feature confessions about “dark and gloomy moments.”
They, like us, have walked a dark and black path for a long time, experiencing countless failures and struggles.
The author rebels against this.
"No, is the color of failure really gray? Have you ever cast aside your fears and faced the true color of failure?" He adds that the color of failure he's personally witnessed is never monochromatic, but can take on a variety of hues depending on your perspective.
We were watching the moments of failure in 5K ultra-high definition as if they were black-and-white movies, because we had covered all our experiences that were not successes with a veil of negativity.

In 『Five Colorful Failure Stories』, the author divides the failures we encounter into five colors.
Embarrassing and shameful moments are colored red, dark history that you don't want to remember is colored black, mistakes that happened without warning are colored yellow, and malfunctions that came from ignorance and innocence are colored white.
If I plant them well in the garden of my heart, I paint green the experiences that will sprout as new sprouts of opportunity.
In addition, he generously shares his secrets for overcoming difficulties.
In those embarrassing moments when your face turns red, it's good to blur reality for a moment with the "What can I do?" mantra.
When I feel embarrassed by the number of books I haven't read, I am protected by the implicit goodwill of those who say, "You can't be that ignorant."
An episode at the gym where he goes to lose weight for a possible TV appearance is sublimated into a black comedy manuscript.
By using the weakness of not being able to focus on one emotion for a long time as a weapon, I cheerfully pass over the depression that was sending me the yellow light.
Looking at these failures, each beautifully embroidered with its own unique color, I suddenly become curious.
What color was my failure, and have I had similar failures?
Once captivated by the rainbow palette of failures encountered for the first time, readers will naturally find time to escape the gray gloom.

It just hasn't shined yet _ The brilliant rebellion of failure

Author Jeong Ji-eum says that not hiding one's frustration was the easiest way to escape it.
Perhaps that's why the book contains the author's moments of depression and inferiority, moments of failure, so gruesome that it makes you wonder, "Is it okay for it to be this miserable?"
There were times when I wanted to buy 'comfort' even if it meant paying the price of a Chanel bag, but there were also times when I realized that something as small and unique as my heart could not be a commodity. There were also times when I was frustrated by the foolishness of trying to avoid troublesome things, only to miss the timing and face it instead.
I committed the paradox of writing a novel satirizing the blind spots of startups, only to join one soon after. I also found it difficult to even attempt the classic writing techniques of reading a lot, writing a lot, and producing a lot.


The solution chosen by the writer, who had experienced all kinds of mistakes and failures, was a counterattack.
Some might call his life a failure of 30 years, but he argues that for him, it was 30 years of effort and a chance to make a comeback.
A life where, despite countless defeats, a strong spirit will always lead to victory.
A life that is not unhappy because there are as many successes as failures.
A life that has never shined before, so I wonder what kind of light it will emit.
He pats the backs of his readers who are feeling down, saying that it is failure that creates these expectations.
In the story of the author, who seems to fall but then rises again with strength, we look forward to the brilliant rebellion that failure will reveal.

Failure stories come before success stories - a signal of failure

Do you know what the most important thing in the saying "fall seven times" is? First, you have to fall seven times.
People say failure is the mother of success, so why are we so unfilial to the very person who created our success? The power that allows us to stand up eight times comes from the seven times we fall.
The one who most desperately awaits the success that has not yet been born is none other than failure.
Anyway, we must remember that failure comes first in life.
The book constantly encourages us that only then can we imagine the future without getting lost in the colorless everyday life, and become more resolute without being caught up in obsessions.


Dark and gloomy memories can never color your entire life.
We often forget that it is the small, insignificant moments that add to the richness of our lives.
Have you been blinded by the mirage of success and missed the gems right before your eyes? If you have the heart to seek them out, they will never fade.
I hope that through 『Five Colorful Failure Stories』, your failures will find their true light.
