Manage your mood, and you'll manage your life.
A new work by author Kim Da-seul!

“So that the wounds inflicted on people do not get worse
“An essay like a spreadable ointment”

A new work by Kim Da-seul, who brought comfort and empathy to many readers through her essay, "Managing Your Mood Manages Your Life," which won first place overall in 2022, has been published.
If the previous work provided practical advice on how to manage and accept one's emotions so that one's life is not swayed by them, the new work, "A relationship is something that can be ruined by one mistake even if one's feelings match 10 times," says "A relationship is something that can be ruined by one misunderstanding even if one's feelings match 10 times," ultimately telling us that the most important thing in a relationship is oneself, and providing realistic advice on how to reduce unnecessary relationships and increase necessary ones.

Part 1, “No One Is Perfect,” conveys a message of encouragement, hoping that everyone will find the beginning difficult and anxious, so don’t be afraid and move forward. Part 2, “The Beginning of a Good Relationship Begins with Me,” tells us that ultimately, the most important thing is ourselves, and emphasizes the fact that everything always begins with us.
Part 3, “People to Let Go of and People to Not Let Go of,” contains the author’s hope that we will focus more on the relationships that are precious to us and make us happy, rather than being tied down and clinging to unnecessary relationships. Finally, Part 4, “When One Sincerity is More Important than Numerous Attentions,” contains the author’s warm heart that hopes that we will realize and enjoy the sincerity that we truly want and desire, rather than the meaningless attentions of many.
When you're having a hard time, when your relationship isn't going your way, when you feel misfortune creeping up on you, when you're feeling down and lost, this book will be a comforting message that will heal your wounds.

When procrastination becomes a habit, happiness also becomes postponed.
In short, put off places you want to go, things you want to have, and things you want to do.
First, they think about making money, or they promise to do it once they are successful.
When things you put off pile up, happiness is eventually postponed.
That's how most people live in the present unhappily.
Every day is a day of patience and perseverance.

Procrastination is one of the factors that hinders happiness.
You should be happy now, not postpone happiness.
This doesn't mean you have to achieve your future goals right now.
That's unrealistic.
We must find a way to faithfully portray the future while ensuring that the present is not unhappy.
It is helpful to open a calendar, set a date, and make a plan.

The attitude of letting mistakes slide is what is truly wrong.
Everyone makes mistakes in life.
It's human because perfect people don't exist.
The problem is your attitude after you make a mistake.
Mistakes should not be taken lightly and overlooked.
We must be wary of the shameless attitude of taking mistakes lightly, not truly repenting, covering them up with a quick apology, not correcting the mistakes, and repeating them again.

Even when you make a mistake, the other person and those around you are forgiving, not because the mistake is trivial, but because they value it.
Because they are precious people, I try to understand and tolerate them somehow.
It would be a mistake to think that it is okay.
It's a foolish misconception that those who are meant to stay will stay anyway.
It's not that I stay by your side even if you do something wrong, but I can't bear to leave.
---From "The real mistake is the attitude of not correcting it"

Just knowing that there's something you can love can make an otherwise ordinary day wonderful.
The object may be a living thing or an inanimate object.
It doesn't matter if it's a lover, a crush, a celebrity, a pet, a work of art, a book, music, a drama, sports, a character, an avatar, or a game.
What matters is that you pour out your heart and love without holding back.
That one fact alone makes my day exciting and gives me greater comfort than I could ever imagine.

How excited and anticipated is the return of your favorite singers and actors?
How much do you look forward to the next episode of your favorite drama?
How many times have you checked when your favorite movie is coming out, when your favorite athlete is playing, or when your favorite author's next book is coming out?
Haven't you ever set aside time to see your beloved friend?
Haven't you put everything on the back burner to meet your loved one?
That is the power of the mind that loves.
That is the path where happiness comes and goes.

Giving your time is like giving a part of your life.
Life doesn't just mean being alive, breathing, and moving.
As a human being, how you spend your time and what you do with your life is what makes you who you are and what makes you who you are.
Because life is given a limited amount of time, and how we use that time is everything in life.
It is best to use it for precious people and precious things, if possible.
That doesn't mean that something precious is particularly special.
If you truly want it, it becomes precious.
Life is precious, so it should be used in a precious way.
---From "Giving time is giving life"

No matter how good a person is, if they make things difficult for me, they are not meant to be.
A person who is good to others, a person who takes good care of others, a person who is recognized by school, company, group, and society, a person who is dedicated and volunteers, a person with good character, and above all, a person who I like.
Although there are so many good points, one is more important.
You shouldn't make things difficult for me.
Even if I have a lot of strengths, if they make me suffer, the rest are useless.
Even if he is a good, righteous, and upright person, he is not destined for me.
You must be a person who knows how to put yourself before others.
Even if you are a bit selfish and cold to others, you should be kind and warm to me.
A good relationship is one where you know how to prioritize yourself and take care of your partner and family first.
