Memories, Dreams, Reflections(Jung, Carl Gustav)

 1. Thinking about myself, what should I do?


We think we live our whole lives according to our own thoughts, but in fact, we may not realize at all that we have mostly been playing the role of a supporting actor without any lines on the stage of the theater called the world.

There are 7 billion people in the world, and we do not know how that many people live.

Even though SNS is developed, it is impossible to see their real lives.

This is because people are conscious of others, so they always show off their good looks and boast, and there is a high probability that it is fiction.

In order to break the part where we become supporting actors on the stage called the world, we must leave our names.

It is rare to find someone who does not know Steve Jobs, and Einstein, Newton, Socrates, etc. are people who play leading roles on the world stage and continue to be talked about.

In other words, if you want to become a leading actor, you must make your name known to people.

I think the way to make your name known to people is simple. I just need to make others comfortable with what I do best.​​


2. Let's create small goals and successes to cultivate self-satisfaction.


People pursue status, marriage, fame, external success, and wealth. However, even when they possess the things they pursue, they are still unhappy and neurotic.

I can't even imagine how many people's misfortunes, worries, and stresses Jung must have heard, so he must have observed and understood most people.

And it is said that even when people obtain the things they pursue, they are still stressed and neurotic.

That is why I think people should not be too greedy and continue to feel satisfaction at a moderate level.

In that regard, the author thought of the words of instructor Kim Mi-kyung.

'If you think of the rich in relative evaluation, you will not live as rich until you die', so you should declare yourself rich.

I think this saying means that when you have achieved a certain level of achievement, you should declare yourself rich to obtain an appropriate level of satisfaction and reduce your greed a little. If you reduce your greed, you will also feel less stressed and will not suffer from neurosis.

People want to be recognized, so they become more greedy, but they do not realize that they are being eaten away by that greed.

Therefore, if you have a goal, I think you should divide it up and take a break little by little so that you can move towards the next goal.

Like most self-help books, it has a goal, but you have to experience small successes to continue to reach the big goal.


3. Always think about and recognize yourself.


Those who want to find answers to the problem of evil raised today need thorough self-awareness, that is, the best awareness of their entirety.

In my opinion, there is no absolute evil and no absolute good.

It is good when you look at it from one direction, and evil when you look at it from another direction.

However, I think we need to think more deeply about what we distinguish between good and evil.

Why do I think this is good?

Why do I think this is evil? If you think about it, dig into it, and search for it, you will find that what you thought was actually wrong. That is why people need to judge a little more coolly. In conclusion, there is a high probability that you will make a judgment in a direction that benefits you, but I think that you will feel the difference from others if you think about it from the opposite perspective.

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...
