Jeong Ho-seung delivers courage with his new collection of essays, released after seven years!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After seven years of waiting and hardship since the bestseller 『A Word That Gave Strength to My Life』, which received the love of 300,000 readers, poet Jeong Ho-seung has returned to us with his new collection of essays 『A Word That Gave Courage to My Life』. \u003cbr\u003eThis is a new collection of essays that only contains works that were not published in newspapers or magazines, in which the author throws out a single word that he has kept in his heart at every point and describes the story related to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Poet Jeong Ho-seung confesses in his book, “Published Writings,” that he wrote this book because he wanted to share his own words with many people who are at a crossroads in life.\u003cbr\u003e The poet's tone, which speaks of the value of suffering and the happiness of everyday life, and of those moments of enlightenment, is not much different from his previous work, but has become more delicate and profound.\u003cbr\u003e Jeong Ho-seung's words offer comfort to those who are in deep despair and to those who want to take a breather from life's big and small obstacles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Among the words that stand out in particular, 'courage' is also a huge theme in the author's life, 'failure' and 'pain', 'suicide' which has become a social problem, and 'hope' which is encountered at the end of all of this. \u003cbr\u003eThe author encourages us to practice “simple courage” in response to the frustration and suicide culture that permeates our society.\u003cbr\u003e At the moment when you think it's over, you find 'hope' right next to you, and the poet's language becomes a light.\u003cbr\u003e If you're feeling despair right now, instead of listening to difficult and grandiose grand narratives, listen to the easy but heart-wrenching, quiet voice of poet Jeong Ho-seung.\u003cbr\u003e You will be able to shake off past failures and frustrations and gain the strength to live again.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e

life!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen we lose sight of the beauty of flowers and stars while chasing a bowl of rice, when we lose sight of the value of life and struggle, when we lose sight of our dreams and become frustrated in the harshness of each day… perhaps what we need in the face of deep despair is a brief but deeply resonant word of comfort and wisdom.\u003cbr\u003e This 'one word', which comes as a quote read somewhere, a mother's words, or an adult's advice, sometimes strikes the heart and brings a flash of consciousness, and sometimes pats a hunched shoulder and provides comfort.\u003cbr\u003e Poet Jeong Ho-seung wrote down in his notebook the words he encountered at every turn of his turbulent life, and 67 of them were published in his previous work, “Words That Gave Strength to My Life,” which received enthusiastic love from readers. \u003cbr\u003eAnd after seven years of waiting and hardship, the second collection of essays, “One Word That Gave Courage to My Life,” consisting of 76 words, was published by Bichae Publishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e“Despair is another name for hope.”\u003cbr\u003e Poet Jeong Ho-seung becomes a 'life mentor' who shares the secrets of life!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In his previous work, “A Word That Gave Strength to My Life,” poet Jeong Ho-seung advised us to build a more beautiful and fulfilling life through positivity, with lines like “Don’t try to have two when you need one,” “Love your weakest part,” and “Even if you sleep like a shrimp, dream of a whale.”\u003cbr\u003e His delicate yet strong and healthy message has comforted the hearts of 300,000 readers, and even seven years after its publication, it continues to be a steady seller. \u003cbr\u003eCancer centers, hospitals large and small, and even prisons across the country sent letters to the publisher expressing their gratitude, and as requests for lectures from companies, schools, and local governments poured in, poet Jeong Ho-seung was also called a \"life mentor.\"\u003cbr\u003e In his new work, “A Word That Gave Courage to My Life,” Jeong Ho-seung also talks about the value of suffering, the happiness of everyday life, and those moments of enlightenment. \u003cbr\u003eThe author's experiences, big and small, such as the story of meeting Monk Seongcheol and finding a koan for life ('If you're going to take a picture, take a thousand pictures'), the story of regretting not being able to live the life he wanted but realizing that there are things in life that are mine and things that aren't mine ('Do what you need to do and don't do what you want'), the story of being embarrassed by a stranger on the subway ('Don't hold onto your anger until the sun goes down'), and the story of giving up meals and drinking coffee at a teahouse all day during his college days and writing poetry ('A flower can be more precious than a bowl of rice'), turn what might easily sound like a common saying into a vivid secret of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Among them, a few words stand out most often. \u003cbr\u003eThe theme of this collection of essays is 'courage'; 'failure' and 'pain' are also huge topics in the author's life; 'suicide' has become a social problem; and 'hope' is what we encounter at the end of it all.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, the author criticizes the culture of frustration and suicide that is prevalent throughout society.\u003cbr\u003e “Courage doesn’t start with grandeur.\u003cbr\u003e Just as the practice of love lies in simplicity, so too does the practice of courage lie in simplicity.\u003cbr\u003e “I fell to the floor, but I got up from the floor and in the small smile that I smiled brightly, in the small but firm fist of determination that I clenched quietly, in the powerful steps that I took for today.” “The moment you think it’s over, hope is right next to you. \u003cbr\u003e“It is not too late to believe that it is not too late to have hope and courage.” “Spit on the temptation of suicide.” As recommended by Monk Hye-min, who read this book first, let us listen to the easy, yet heart-wrenching, quiet voice of poet Jeong Ho-seung, rather than the difficult and grandiose discourse.\u003cbr\u003e Let's share the 'Five Loaves and Two Fish' that poet Jeong Ho-seung, who first picked up his pen with the thought that \"when my life was on the edge of a cliff, it would have been nice if someone had told me this story,\" gave us with all his heart.\u003cbr\u003e Since “not having the courage to try again is the greatest failure,” you can shake off past failures and frustrations “like shaking off a rag and putting it back down” and gain the strength to live again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA word from the author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book also contains words I have said, words my mother has said, words from respected monks and priests, and words and proverbs from writers and sages.\u003cbr\u003e All of these words are spiritual food that has given me courage in my life.\u003cbr\u003e I want to share the word of God like five loaves and two fish.\u003cbr\u003e I want to be like the boy who gave Jesus the five barley loaves and two fish in his basket.
