Watch on YouTube Cheer up. One of the biggest misconceptions people have is this: They think that abilities that emerge easily and quickly out of luck are “talent,” while those that appear later and through difficulty are the result of “effort.” But in reality, without talent, you can’t succeed—even later. What’s truly great about those who succeed late is that they trusted their own judgment and had the courage to take on the challenge. — So, can’t effort beat talent? — I don’t think it can. But no one knows *when* a talent will manifest. — Isn’t that the same … 더 보기 →

Watch on YouTube There’s a statue inside the stone When you strike the stone, if the front part breaks, that’s success If the back part breaks, that’s failure But you can’t see the complete statue by only breaking the front part If everything goes exactly as I expect, I can’t truly know myself and this world If only the back keeps breaking, once the back is completely broken— Now it’s time for the front part to break

(유튜브에서 보기) Isn’t it so strange that no other life forms have been found in the universe at all? Yeah, it’s really strange. Isn’t it so strange that no other life forms have been found in the universe at all? Yeah, it’s really strange.

Watch on YouTube I will do my best for our great leader! Yeah, just do that! If you work hard, a good opportunity will come someday. Sigh… fools. The problem is the dictatorship itself… Please take good care of my child. He’s smart, but he just doesn’t want to study… – This is an academy with really expensive tuition. You need to study hard. – Okay… Right, study hard and make sure you succeed~ Huh? Isn’t it the rule to work in pairs? It’s an unavoidable situation. Stop complaining and just work hard so you can succeed~

(다른 곳에서도 볼 수 있어요) Science isn’t something you “believe” in — it’s something you acknowledge. Scholars simply propose the hypothesis that seems most likely to be true based on observation. A hypothesis can always be overturned, and it’s not like I saw it with my own eyes. And agreeing with something just because the majority says so, without even properly understanding it — that’s just foolish. The Earth is actually flat~ I knew it! See? I told you I was right~

Watch on YouTube “Finally, I’m done with this tiresome cleaning.” There are people who organize their belongings before they leave this world. Even though, strictly speaking, there’s no need to think about what happens after we die. Isn’t that, in a way, a sign that it’s important to hold on to our humanity until the very end?

Watch on YouTube If the world were to end tomorrow, how would people react? “What’s the point of money if we’re all gonna die~” “Let’s just go wild~” But then… The world might not end after all. I could die tomorrow, sure— but I could also live way too long. – “What’s the secret to living until 200?” – “How would I know?” There’s always a chance we live too long. So we should enjoy the present while preparing for the future, stay diligent while keeping room for ease, seek meaning while embracing little joys— and live a hexagonal day.

Watch on YouTube If the world ends tomorrow, why would you plant an apple tree? “Gasp, my heart!” “If I had saved for just one more month, I would’ve reached 100 million…” We never know when or how we’ll die. If the tree I planted lives for a thousand years, what meaning does that hold? Nothing really has meaning anyway. This world, too, will eventually come to an end. “Once I save a 100 million, I’m quitting this company!” It’s not about achievements or results. “It was tough, but it was fun and fulfilling.” What matters is whether you lived … 더 보기 →

Watch on YouTube Do you want to end up like that when you grow up? 1% probability He ended up like that because he didn’t work hard when he was young. He doesn’t deserve to be treated like a human. 99% probability I’m a loser. Wouldn’t it be better to just die than live like this?

Watch on YouTube “We want to become singers” “I want to be a writer” Everyone seems to have a clear dream, a goal… But what about me? I think a dream isn’t something you need just for the day it comes true. It’s something that makes you happy now, just by imagining it coming true. Like how just thinking about a holiday can lift your mood. So there’s no need to feel too anxious or rushed just because you don’t have a dream. But maybe, if you do have one, you could be even happier. So like choosing dishes at … 더 보기 →

Watch on YouTube Just for getting one question wrong? Maybe they were just too sensitive and timid. To think they took their own life over a test score… It’s foolish, and yet so heartbreaking. You’re right. How did a test score become everything to that child? “Do you want to end up like that?” “You might not get into that university at this rate.” You’re the culprit!!

Watch on YouTube People easily accept that you can be happy over something small, but they seem reluctant to admit that something small can make you want to die. “This depth is definitely dangerous. We need to take action.” “You died in this shallow water?” “Well, that person was just stupid.” Thousands die every year. So everyone is just stupid.

Watch on YouTube Why are you so weak, cowardly, irresponsible, and selfish? Life is precious and beautiful. Please don’t ever die. Have you thought about how your loved ones would grieve and be hurt? Aren’t you afraid of going to hell? This song might comfort you. How about a collection of inspiring quotes for hard times? Everyone says something different— But they’re all talking only to the person who wants to die. As if all the causes and responsibility lie solely with them…
