Sentences that moved me

Description
Book Introduction
“In the end, what made me who I am were the ordinary sentences that accumulated in my daily life.”
Collected by 29CM copywriter
About the sentences that gave me direction in life
“I am simply delighted that more people will now be able to know Oh Ha-rim’s insight and writing, which were too luxurious to keep to themselves.”
_Yoo Byeong-wook (TBWA KOREA Creative Director)
“As we prepare for the new year, I would like to recommend this book to anyone who wants to be more kind to themselves.”
_Park So-hee (CEO of Hinok)
The author, who enjoys collecting sentences, has compiled thousands of sentences he has collected since he was twenty years old and published them in a book, including those that have given him direction and strength at every crossroads in his life.
The sentences in the book are not the words or famous quotes of great people, but rather ordinary things we encounter in our daily lives, such as advertising copy, a line from a book, a word casually blurted out by a guest on a variety show, or lines from a drama or movie.
However, the author says that sentences that are so familiar and taken for granted that we have forgotten their value actually resonate with us.
Although it was introduced in a grand way, the sentences may be more ordinary than expected.
But to me, ordinary words that float around alive are more valuable than famous lines that can be found on Google.
Because sometimes we live forgetting the value of ordinary or obvious things.
Ordinary sentences remind us of that fact.
_From the text
The sentences in the book and the stories that come out after looking closely at those sentences and adding your own thoughts make you nod your head as you read and bring to mind unexpected points.
Just as the author was guided by these sentences, which quietly comforted his heart on days when he needed comfort, helped him decide on the direction of his life, and helped him overcome difficult times and move forward step by step, I hope that this book will also reach the readers.

Recommendation
Opening remarks
There are people in the world whose speakers face inward.
Choosing a table that will last 10 years and predicting 10 years of happiness
If you accept it, you will feel calm.
Building my self-esteem
There are advantages to every disadvantage.
Hobbies are always from me
Active period
In a serious life, there is wit.
History of the mind
Life is the sum of trivialities
There are many alternatives.
There is no perfect company, only companies I can tolerate.
The power to grieve
A slightly uncomfortable relationship
Raising the world's resolution
Tastes on display and tastes to be preserved
Thanks to TVXQ
'Too good' is the same as expertise
His single word, "Good morning," makes my morning a "good morning."
The power of words
Nothing is nothing
The happiness of living without incident
Judgment of others
The gift of 'process'
This wandering is mine too
Bookmark your life tightly
Things that can't be answered with 'yes/no'
What humans cannot create
When you make friends, you gain a world as big as your friends.
Liberated by recognition
The real bare face that should be shameful
We change as we talk together
Many aspects of life arise from inefficiency.
The swamp of supported creators
Standing on my own two feet
A little far away, a little roughly
Mental strength has no power
The joy of finding today
Being stressed means it's time to grow up.
What is 'justice'?
I pay the most attention to my own feelings.
Work needs a hobby, and hobbies need work.
Anxiety is the energy that nurtures me
Working like a machine
Free yourself from the control of others
Let's show them what a good adult is.
To the sensitive but lazy people
On how to treat minorities
Don't get bogged down in dictionary definitions
From a body that displays to a body that functions
What meaning do I give to my life?
'Next' is next
Is fun something special, or is happiness something special?
Tomorrow, I hope for a bigger failure
We have always been the best
A good pass flies to the runner.

Into the book
Compared to the past when I defined myself by how others viewed me, I am now happy enough even if no one recognizes me.
I slowly fill my room with good things that I know.
A long-loved item, something simple and sufficient, something that contains the warmth of wood.
I want to have my own room filled with such things and become a person who fits well in that room.
In this way, the objects around me speak of me, and with them, I complete my own identity.
The power to create your own direction rather than following the flow of the trend.
The satisfaction of building my own world.
The joy of having an eye for good things.
For those who have taste, this kind of subjective joy accumulates.
---From "Choosing a table to use for 10 years and assessing 10 years of happiness"
When I was young, my nose was three inches long, so I didn't have time to look around carefully.
So it was very likely that we would judge based on only superficial appearances.
So, I could simply divide them into those who I don't like and those who I like, but now I've changed again.
I started to wonder, 'Just because I worked on a project with that colleague, can I really say I know everything about that person?'
Sensitivity usually leads to delicacy, and conversely, dullness leads to a dull and good nature.
I can't say which one is better.
In this way, pros and cons coexist and are naturally connected.
---From "There is an advantage behind every disadvantage"
Knowing that there are new worlds yet to be explored and a constant curiosity about them can add vitality to everyday life.
It's like a treasure hunt.
If you just sit back and do whatever is given to you, someone might decide your tastes, so now is the time to wake up and actively protect your tastes.
A taste that may become the direction of my life and a joy that will never run out.
It's time to take a look at your list and see how well you're keeping it.
Because taste is not about buying things at a convenience store, but rather about exploring the unknown world.
---From "Displayed Tastes and Preserved Tastes"
From now on, I need to find happiness in the little things.
Trying to change my definition of happiness.
The day after I finished a month of root canal treatment for severe toothache, I felt grateful and happy to have a normal day without toothache.
Isn't happiness a state of 'absence' rather than 'having' something?
A state of no pain, no worry, no conflict, no burden.
A lukewarm, uneventful happiness that is neither particularly good nor bad.
If you want to keep the word happiness with you for a long time, you should desire happiness that is 'not there' rather than happiness that is 'there'.
---From "Is fun something special, or is happiness something special?"
If you just think about it, it seems difficult, but once you know the reason and the principle, you can accept it so honestly and wonderfully.
I will fail and be frustrated countless times, and closer than I thought.
But the fact that my personal trainer told me that failure in exercise is not just failure has become a very attractive motivator for this 'exercise idiot', so I'm going to endure and overcome my failure point for the time being.
Tomorrow, please, be an even bigger failure!

Publisher's Review
What sentences inspire copywriters?
Seems ordinary but is not ordinary
A look into sentences embedded in everyday life
If I had to describe this book in one word, I would say it is 'a sum of ordinary and trivial things.'
Some might ask, isn't being ordinary just plain boring, having nothing special to offer?
However, if you look closely at the sentences the author has collected, you will find that ordinariness has a surprisingly powerful power.
Sentences that could have been considered old-fashioned and trivial were gathered together to complete a book, and the author was able to move forward by closely examining those sentences, discovering and realizing something meaningful within them.
And that ordinariness is made more meaningful by the author's invisible effort.
Since my twenties, I have been steadily collecting sentences and turning them around, interpreting the meaning contained in the sentences according to my own standards.
Moreover, it is a very difficult task to record and collect words that may have been spoken in passing by someone without much diligence.
Perhaps that is why the book is full of sentences that cannot be passed over carelessly.
· A good pass flies to the runner.
_Ad copy from Japanese job search site 'Recruit'
· I am nothing yet.
So it can be anything.
_'Pocari Sweat' advertising copy
· If you see my flaws, it means you have that kind of feeling towards me.
_Movie "Little Forest 2: Winter and Spring"
· Sometimes I have days where I write, 'Today was really nothing special.'
There was definitely that day, but I don't remember it well.
I want to remember those days a little more.
_Variety show <You Quiz on the Block> Park Bo-young episode
· I don't want to be a director that someone supports.
_Director Quentin Tarantino
The reason why the sentences in this book seem ordinary but are not ordinary is partly due to the special nature of being 'collected by a copywriter.'
Isn't it even more curious that these are the words selected by someone who has mastered the art of making the ordinary extraordinary by specializing and promoting the brand's philosophy and product story through writing?
So, I hope you take the time to take a peek at the colorful sentences she has noticed.
Establishing my own taste and direction
The author's consistent habits were behind the creation of "Sentences That Moved Me" as a book.
As I collected sentences one by one, sentences from various sources came together, and after collecting them all, I felt it was a shame to keep them all to myself, so for several years now, the author has been compiling the sentences into a book and giving them as gifts to his friends every year on his birthday.
It encompasses the painstaking process of collecting sentences, the tenderness of willingly sharing what one loves, and the moments of wandering experienced as one ventured into an unknown field to put it into book form.
However, the author does not consider the process cumbersome.
Because I know better than anyone the sincerity and emotion that comes from having something you love conveyed to someone.
The power to create your own direction rather than following the flow of the trend.
The satisfaction of building my own world.
The joy of having an eye for good things.
For those who have taste, this kind of subjective joy accumulates.
_From the text
It takes courage to continue doing something you love.
Beyond mere enjoyment, building your own world and faithfully maintaining it is not as easy as it sounds.
The author says:
“If there is something you love so much, don’t stop, and pursue it more deeply and for a longer time.
Then, one day, my own solid world will be created.”
The heart that loves something makes me stronger than anything else and helps me draw my own world that no one can surpass.
If you build up such a strong mind, you will be able to decide the direction of your life based on your own standards.
As if ordinary sentences led and moved the author.
