 When you trade stocks, you often see cases where certain stocks suddenly skyrocket or plummet. This is because prices are determined by changes in external environments such as society, economy, and politics, as well as supply and demand. Since we are not gods, we cannot know when something will rise or fall. This means that we cannot continuously gain profits by buying or selling all stocks at the right time. The economic system that humans have created is very broad, and due to continued technological development in the future, materials that were not originally of interest may suddenly become necessary due to increased use, or resources that were abundant may become unnecessary due to some substitute. Then, the stock prices of certain companies will rise or fall at that time. A single smartphone contains numerous rare minerals, sensors, and software. This means that numerous companies participate in the production of a single product. Not only smartphones, but everything we use...

 Raising a child, I often think of my childhood. Going camping with my family and playing in a tent when I was young, falling asleep while looking at the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling when I first got my own room and slept alone, falling asleep between my father's legs, fighting with my sister over who would use the computer first, going to the library with my mother and reading books and eating udon, playing ghost with my sister and crying, loving and eating the scrambled eggs my sister made for me, calling them beggar eggs, etc. Of course, memories can be embellished, and good memories can become bad memories, or bad memories can become good memories. But still, everything is my memories, memories, and the past. I think all the memories and recollections with my family support me as a person and help me maintain my values. So now I have my own family, and I want to create good memories and recollections for my wife and children. I want to create a family where family come...

 In the past, creatures evolved and lived according to the environment of nature through natural selection, and species that were eliminated were created.  For example, when an ice age suddenly came or a volcano erupted, most species that could not adapt to rapid environmental changes would have gone extinct, and other species that could endure or survived in places with less environmental change would have survived.  Of course, the above examples are too extreme, but society and the environment tend to change little by little. It is naturally difficult to prepare for this, and it is a matter of luck. However, I think that people live in a relatively stable environment where the environment is not changing rapidly these days. However, most of humanity lives in the capitalist system called money. We study for about 20 years to make money, develop social skills with people, and live by receiving many services with money. We invest most of our lives for money, desire it, and...

 People like negative stories or gossip. For example, they always say the economy is not good, the job market is always tough, housing prices are high, they call Korea Hell Joseon, they think their military service was the hardest, they think they had the hardest time giving birth, they badmouth their wife or husband, etc. They like to build intimacy by talking about these negative situations or conditions with others. Of course, it is true that the economy is not good in Korea right now, but when it was good, few people talked about it. This phenomenon is said to be an evolutionary psychological phenomenon of humans who avoid and prevent risks and try to build intimacy. I used to be extremely negative, and I lived blaming the country, society, and others, asking when I would buy a house. However, nothing changes if I just blame others, and I have discovered that I have nothing left, so I am reflecting, studying, and changing. I think that if I had studied stocks and worked on self...

 1. You have to set your own standards. The important thing is not that 'anything is allowed' but that 'you have to be calm and discerning'. Unlike me, French mothers distinguish between what is almost certainly harmful and what is dangerous only when infected. mobile e-book: 63p When pregnant, most people say this is not allowed and that is not allowed, and in the US and Korea, they list a long list of prohibited items for pregnant women, and there are many opinions on the Internet that they are not allowed. However, in France, it seems that pregnant women are more likely to be stable and comfortable. Rather than saying that they are not allowed, they say that if they want to eat something, it is okay to eat a small amount in a clean and good place. In the US and Korea, most people's lives are centered on children, but in France, they are centered on couples and families. I personally think that it is better to make pregnant women feel more comfortable rather than ...

 1. Stability When you return home, you have a wife/husband to greet you and someone to spend time with. You have someone to talk about what happened, eat, and sleep with. You have a different path in life than when you were dating. Now, you no longer hear your parents or people around you asking when you are getting married. Of course, you may hear them asking when you are going to have children later. Being stable in life is really important. The worries about marriage and the future that you have been putting aside will be relieved a little. Because you can dream of a future for your family, not alone, you will not be anxious and you will feel at ease because one big worry is reduced. Psychological stability allows you to discover a new version of yourself. 2. Altruism (Your life changes when you have a child) In order for a couple to live together, each person has to give up some things and do some things together. From the moment you get married, there are many things you have...

 Children sometimes have a fever, and it usually happens when they have a cold. It is worrying and heartbreaking when a child has a fever, and I just hope they get better soon. The reason why a fever occurs is that when bacteria invade our body, white blood cells and T lymphocytes in the blood attack the bacteria and a substance called cytokine is secreted. This substance generates heat in our body, promotes the activity of immune cells, and suppresses the growth of bacteria. Don't panic too much because you have a fever, and think that your body is coping well and reacting. I would like to share a simple way to lower a fever at home. 1. Lowering the body temperature using a wet towel If your child has a fever (over 38 degrees), take off their clothes, soak a towel or handkerchief in lukewarm water, remove the moisture, and wipe the area where blood vessels pass, such as the forehead, neck, armpits, and groin. Cold water can cause blood vessels to constrict further, which can gener...

 These days, my child is starting to talk and become curious about various things. Why is this happening? Why did it become like that? What is this? Now that it makes sense, I am busy asking him questions that I have been curious about. For things I know, I try to answer in a way that he can understand, or if he doesn't know, I say, "I don't know either, so let's look it up together." and tell him what it is. On the other hand, I also ask my child the reason for his actions. Why did you do this? Why did you think that? etc., and he answers some questions, but he doesn't answer others because he still has difficulty expressing words or thoughts. As we become adults, we seem to forget the concept of why. Socrates can judge whether the other person truly knows well or is making a logical error by asking questions about the other person's answers. For example, Q: Why do I work? A: To earn money. Q: Why do you want to earn money? A: To make my family happy. Q: ...

 1. Science is a religion that has sustained humanity. Unlike existing religions, science has solid grounds and support that have endured numerous trials. In this sense, science is a liberated and expanded religion. mobile e-book: 56p In the past, humans prayed and made sacrifices to change the natural environment or to eliminate abundance and diseases through totemism, shamanism, etc. However, thanks to the development of science, humans today can create artificial rainfall in places with severe droughts, and with the development of fertilizers and genetic manipulation, they have harvested a lot of crops and are not starving, and with the development of medical technology, they are able to prevent and treat diseases to some extent. In addition, personal hygiene has been strengthened due to soap, and life expectancy has increased significantly. In this way, science has helped humanity continue to live in abundance and safety in many ways, and it is still in progress. I personally b...
