Ecce homo/The Twilight of the Idols(Friedrich Nietzsche)

 1. All humans are outstanding in some way.


"Why are you so hard! - Charcoal once said to Diamond: Aren't we close relatives?"

Why are you so soft? Oh, my brothers, this is how I ask you: Are you not my brothers?

The Twilight of Idols mobile e-book: 354p


Charcoal and diamond are the same set of carbon (C).

However, their uses are very different.

Diamonds are the hardest and are used in crafts, special products (superconductors, semiconductors, etc.).

Charcoal is used in many ways, such as fuel, deodorization, dehumidification, humidification, water purification, and art tools.

I think this is the difference between people.

We are all the same human beings, but each of us has different abilities to use, so each of us is outstanding in different areas.

I think that everyone has an area that they have experienced or are better at. That is why I think you should not belittle yourself and think that you can't do anything.

I think it is because you haven't found what you are good at yet.

That is why I think you should always look back at yourself and find out what you are good at and what makes you special compared to others so that you can know what direction you should look and go in your life.

Even if you build a ship (referring to yourself), you can't go without a compass.

It is wrong to think that everyone goes in the same direction when you don't know whether you are a battleship, a submarine, a distribution ship, a passenger ship, or a fishing boat.

That is why I think you should always think about what you are and know how to go.


2. Recognize yourself.


A person who recognizes himself should know how to love his enemies as well as hate his friends.

Are there many people who recognize and think about the existence of themselves?

What kind of person am I?

I am someone's husband, father, son, younger brother, older brother, colleague, friend, and enemy. A person is constantly changing in some position and acting accordingly.

Rather than thinking about others, it would be better to judge, think about, and consider how you are living.

So who and what is the real me?

I don't know the answer, but the person I think of now is the one who values ​​the role of the eldest.

When I think about how I should live, I want to be an important person as a good husband rather than a good friend, and a great father rather than a great colleague, and I think I act that way.

Of course, I think that the person I am now needs to continue to supplement and modify more.

That's why I think I should always listen to my wife and children, discuss, and find out what kind of life is for each of us to be happy.


3. You can see that there are more experiences when you read books.


In the end, no one can learn more from books or other things than what they already know. There is no ear to hear about things that you don't know the path to through experience. 

Look at this person mobile e-book : 660p


The story about not recommending books to others seems similar to this.

For example, even if I am so impressed by a book that I recommend it to someone else, that person will not be as impressed as I am.

Also, the good parts that I felt may be perceived negatively by others, and there is a high probability that general bestsellers will not suit me.

Of course, there are cases where bestsellers look better due to the emotional sympathy of others.

And I think that we need to continue to learn and experience because we cannot interpret what the author meant if we do not know ourselves.

No matter how much I tell people about the feelings, experiences, and know-how I had when I was a repeat student, there is a high probability that they will not hear these words.

This is because they do not know what I felt or what I thought when I said this because they have not experienced it themselves.

Similarly, no matter how much I explain to my childless friends that I am very happy about having a child, they will not know.

That is why the selection and taste of books seem to be influenced by one's own experiences and thoughts. However, a book is a text that contains your own experiences and thoughts, so you can read any book if you want to accept it.

For example, when you want to learn about the direction you want to pursue, you tend to read books related to it.

Then, you can gain indirect experience through the book, then actual experience, and if you read the book again later, you can confirm more clearly what the author meant.

That is why, as you get older (and gain more experience), you can feel different when you reread books you read when you were young or in the past.

You can feel that you have grown that much, and you can look at books in a new way.

That is why we must continue to learn, experience, and read more books to learn new things.

God delusion(Dawkins, Richard)

  1. It is the role of science to let us know the facts. Mystics rejoice in riddles and wish for them to remain mysterious. Scientists rejoice in riddles for a different reason: they give them something to do. mobile e-book: 320p In the past, humans practiced totemism, animism, and shamanism, offering sacrifices to improve the weather, performing rain rituals, or, as in the legend of mantou from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms where twenty head-shaped buns were offered to a river god to calm its waters, taking various measures to appease the wrath of gods through sacrifice. However, because science has developed, modern humans can now predict, to some extent, why weather phenomena like the rainy season and typhoons occur and where they will strike. We can even induce rain through artificial rain technology. Thus, when we are ignorant of the facts, things may seem miraculous and be seen as the work of gods, but once we know the facts, we can understand them. It seems that humani...

Parenting from the Inside Out(Daniel J. Siegel, Mary Hartzell)

  1. Let's Reflect on Ourselves "When you pay attention to your own experiences when you get angry at your child's behavior, you begin to realize how much your reactions have interfered with an ideal relationship with your children." (e-book p. 70) There are moments when I get particularly angry at a specific behavior of my child. I ask myself, "Why does this action make me so angry?" and "Why am I reacting so sensitively?" I reflect on whether I, too, received negative feedback for the same behavior in the past. By contemplating my anger and looking back at my past, I come to understand the root cause of my sensitivity to that particular action. I realize that my specific reactions are also responses stemming from past experiences. Therefore, to change my behavior, I must first acknowledge the origin of my reaction and then consider how to change. Through this process, I can restore my bond with my child and achieve deep self-reflection. My ingr...

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success(Carol S. Dweck)

  1. Life Is Yours "It is your chosen perspective that determines whether you can become the person you want to be and realize the value of your life." Mobile e-book: 27p Even when faced with the same situation, everyone reacts differently. I believe that life's outcomes are ultimately determined by our own choices. I think our current state is a result of our past choices. For instance, writing this book review is a consequence of my past decision to read the book. And my improving writing skills (though still lacking) are a combination of past writing experiences before starting the blog, plus the experience of writing more and more since starting the blog. This has led to the current result where I can now quickly write a book review in 1-2 hours (and marking important lines while reading helps reduce time spent on quotes). Similarly, your current state is a product of your accumulated past experiences, efforts, and trials and errors. No one is good from the start. Wha...
