Appendix - How to Pray for Your Own Recovery

Even as a senior, you can be anything and take on challenges.

“Experts don’t write books.
Writing a book makes you an expert.
Successful people don't write books.
“Writing a book makes you a successful person.”
?These are the words of author Kim Byeong-wan, who has gone from being a Samsung man to a best-selling author and a renowned writer.
As the saying goes, writers are not born, they are made.
You too can be a writer, an entertainer, a businessperson, an adventurer, an athlete, a painter, a singer.
The important thing is to never stop challenging yourself.


Something flashed through my mind.
My childhood dream was to become a writer.
"Hey, what can't I do when I'm your age?" These are the words of adults in their 70s and 80s.
Yeah, why am I so old? I'm still a healthy 20-something at heart, even though I'm getting older.
For 30 years, I have kept a diary and written down my prayers.
65 is an age that hasn't even begun.
Let's give it a try.
I decided to become a writer and boarded an express bus to Seoul in two hours that day.


I believe that the greatest legacy I can leave my children is to show them that they can become writers, that they can challenge themselves even at this age, by living a new life without giving up even as they grow older.
A new life is only possible through challenges.

Seoul, where I came following the path of my heart, was unfamiliar, but I still ran with my life on the writer's dream.
I read Who Moved My Cheese in my 30s and it changed my life.
At the age of 62, I visited Kyobo Bookstore again to break free from the same repetitive life.
The book I was looking for wasn't there, so I looked around here and there and picked up a book.
The book contained a passage from Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee's words during a difficult time for the company: "Change everything except your wife and children."
This phrase drew me into a powerful energy before my eyes.

"When will you live a life of change?" How long will this repetitive life last? For three years since that day, I've persevered without quitting my job, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, I've decided to change both my life and my career.
The next day I told my boss that I was quitting my job.
What kind of new life am I seeking? It must be a life I've never lived before.
What would make me excited, happy, and joyful? It was a new challenge.
I decided to find a new life for myself and take on new challenges.


At 60, everyone is a life expert, a writer, a painter, and a singer.
60 They are life experts who have experienced life with their whole body.
Life experts are not born, they are made.
Compared to the years and inner strength I have accumulated through living and enduring so far, a new challenge in life is like eating a piece of cake.
Why do seniors need life challenges? The reason I chose writing a book as a life challenge is because I believe it's more natural and natural for seniors to write books to share with others than to read books written by others.
This book contains '8 reasons why I decided to take on a life challenge at age 65, why it would be good to take on a challenge, and 7 ways to take the first step toward a new life challenge.'
Even seniors can take on new challenges.
Will you just waste your life? Will you live a passionate life once more? The choice is yours.
Good luck.
