Everyone has his/her own busy life. Many things are going on in our lives, As a result, we often do not pay attention to our own behavior and also the effect from those whom we interact with. We just take life and people around us for granted. We all shape our destiny. But, I believe the destiny that we build is not only built by you but also precious people around you.  As we head towards our final destiny, we should  think about ourselves or analyze our actions and behaviors.

We can shape our destiny

Capitalizing on opportunity – Small and large –
is often a key determinant

By individual acts of small grace,
Cumulatively we raise up the entire cosmos,
You are the product of your own.

You are heavily impacted
by your mental-image of yourself.
Consider enhancing-it periodically.

I believe that opportunities do not come by themselves. We always should search and practice for them with a positive attitude. According to Birnbaum, “Capitalizing on our opportunity is often a key determinant. You are heavily impacted by your mental-image of yourself.” I agree with these two phrases. We should believe in ourselves. We grow up and become what we think we will be in the future.

우리의 기회를 상상하는것은 – 작고 큰것-
종종 중요한 결심이다.

개인의 작은 우아함에 의해
점차적으로 우리는 전체의 코스모스를 들어 올린다.
당신은 당신 자신의 산물이다. 

당신은 당신 자신의 정신의 이미지에 의해
강하게 영향받는다.
정기적으로 그것을 향상시킬것을 생각해라.

Everyone makes a goal for his/her life. When I make a goal, I usually plan things that are a little higher than what I actually can achieve. For example, if you are deciding which college to go, I would plan for Ivy league schools first and study for that goal. I believe that although I don’t get accepted by Harvard, I would probably get accepted by good enough schools. According to Birnbaum, “Be wary of any and all causes ‘larger than yourself.’ Only those at the top-of-the-pyramid emerge NET WINNERS.” This is very true and realistic. But, although I know the reality, I will not give up my hope. The phrase that Only the top person can be the winner would sound very direct, but believing in it would also encourage me to develop.

Be wary of any and all causes
“larger than yourself”

Only those at the top-of-the-pyramid
emerge NET WINNERS

모든 원인들을 경계하고조심해라
“너자신보다 더 큰것”

피라미드의 가장 꼭대기의 오직그것들
순 승리자가 나온다

Believing yourself is very important. My brother goes to college, majoring in computer engineering. He always says that he will study hard and work at Google. That is his dream job. I always say that will be hard. However, he never gives up, he always says that I am smart, I can do it. He is very truthful to himself. According to Birnbaum, “believe in yourself, follow your star and go for victory.” I hope my brother can achieve what he wants to do. 

Be truthful to yourself,
Believe in yourself,
Follow your star
and go for VICTORY

너 자신을 신뢰해라,
너 자신을 믿어라,
너의 별을 따라가라
그리고 승리해라
