pg45 the utter joy that comes with accomplishment and fulfillment.|I think it is sad that human beings, who are interrelated with everything else in this world, consider work simply as a means to keep their stomachs full. It is even sadder to think that people in the prime of life, who should be filled with great dreams, vitality, and ambition, should feel that work is a nuisance. It is a great insult to the work ethic to think of work, sweat, and effort only in terms of accomplishment, fulfillment, personal development, and contribution to society.|Work is something very precious and cannot be evaluated merely in financial terms.It is the same with study. You should study until the point when someone says that you have gone bonkers over studying. Did you ever notice the sparkling eyes of a throughly absorbed student?

pg50 It is a big world out there waiting for you, and there is lots to be done. YOu have to find places that people have never been before, and you have to do things that people have not done before. History has been made by people who have been willing to do those things. These people are the real pioneers.|Koreans have preferred tranquility over progress and evasion over challenge. We have had a strong tendency to become quickly resigned to situations. Perhaps this is due to our ancient Confucian customs of courtesy and propriety, ... "the Eastern land of etiquette" "land of the morning calm"|It is a big world out there waiting, although it may not appear that way to someone who wants to walk familiar paths and do familiar things. To those people, the world is as narrow as their familiar paths and their work is as limited as familiar habits. To pioneers who are willing to walk new paths and try new things, the world is indeed a big place and there is unlimited work to do. This is how I have lived, and this is how I will go on living-- getting new things going and putting everything into them that I can.

haha ok I got tired of typing out the words, the next effective way is to scan the pages and post it as images. Speed words might be incorporated in the future also.
