30 "Food for Thoughts" from Harvard Library

하버드대학 도서관에 쓰인 30개의 교훈

01. 지금 잠을 자면 꿈을 꾸지만 지금 공부하면 꿈을 이룬다
Sleep now, you will be dreaming, Study now, you will be achieving your dream.

02. 내가 헛되이 보낸 오늘은 어제 죽은 이가 갈망하던 내일이다
Today that you wasted is the tomorrow that a dying person wished to live.

03. 늦었다고 생각했을 때가 가장 빠른 때이다
When you think it's too late for you to start, it is the earliest time you can start.

04. 오늘 할 일을 내일로 미루지 마라
Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

05. 공부할 때의 고통은 잠깐이지만 못 배운 고통은 평생이다
The pain of study is only for a moment, but the pain of not having studied is forever.

06. 공부는 시간이 부족한 것이 아니라 노력이 부족한 것이다
In study, it's not the lack of time, but lack of effort.

07. 행복은 성적순이 아닐지 몰라도 성공은 성적순이다
Happiness is not proportional to the academic achievement, but success is.

08. 공부가 인생의 전부는 아니다, 그러나 인생의 전부도 아닌 공부 하나도 정복하지 못한다면 과연 무슨 일을 할 수 있겠는가
Study is not everything in life, but if you are unable to conquer study that's only a part of life, what can you be able to achieve in life?

09. 피할 수 없는 고통은 즐겨라
You might as well enjoy the pain that you can not avoid.

10. 남보다 더 일찍 더 부지런히 노력해야 성공을 맛 볼 수 있다
To taste success, you shall be earlier and more diligent.

11. 성공은 아무나 하는 것이 아니다, 철저한 자기 관리와 노력에서 비롯된다
Success doesn't come to anyone, but it comes to the self-controlled and the hard-working.

The time never stops.

13. 지금 흘린 침은 내일 흘릴 눈물이 된다
Saliva you drooled today will be tears falling tomorrow.

14. 개같이 공부해서 정승같이 놀자
Study like a dog and play like a premier.

15. 오늘 걷지 않으면 내일 뛰어야 한다
If you don't walk today, you have to run tomorrow.

16. 미래에 투자하는 사람은 현실에 충실한 사람이다
A person who invest in tomorrow, is the person who is faithful to today.

17. 학벌이 돈이다
The academic clique is money itself.

18. 오늘 보낸 하루는 내일 다시 돌아오지 않는다
Today never returns again tomorrow.

19. 지금 이 순간에도 적들의 책장은 넘어가고 있다
At this moment, your enemies books keep flipping.

20. 고통이 없으면 얻는 것도 없다
No pains No gains.

21. 꿈이 바로 앞에 있는데 당신은 왜 팔을 뻗지 않는가
Dream is just in front of you. Why not stretch your arm.

22. 눈이 감기는가 그럼 미래를 향한 눈도 감긴다
If you close your eyes to the present, the eyes for the future close as well.

23. 졸지 말고 자라
Sleep instead of dozing.

24. 성적은 투자한 시간의 절대량에 비례한다
Academic achievement is directly proportional to the absolute amount of time invested.

25. 가장 위대한 일은 남들이 자고 있을 때 이뤄진다
Most great achievements happen while others are sleeping.

26. 지금 헛되이 보내는 이 시간이 시험을 코앞에 둔 시점에서 얼마나 절실하게 느껴지겠는가
Just before the examination, how desperate would you feel the time you are wasting now.

27. 불가능이란 노력하지 않는 자의 변명이다
Impossibility is the excuse made by the untried.

28. 노력의 대가는 이유 없이 사라지지 않는다
The payoff of efforts never disappear without redemption.

29. 최선을 다하여 최고를 정복하라.
Pursue the top. The maximum endeavor. And to the beginning for the effort of the maximum for a top intend.

30. 한 시간 더 공부하면 남편 얼굴이 바뀐다
One more hour of study, you will have a better husband.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CLIMATE ACTION

On 24 October (that's today!!), people in 181 countries are coming together for the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet's history. At over 5200 events around the world, people are gathering to call for strong action and bold leadership on the climate crisis.

What does the number 350 mean?

350 is the most important number in the world...it's what scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Two years ago, after leading climatologists observed rapid ice melt in the Arctic and other frightening signs of climate change, they issued a series of studies showing that the planet faced both human and natural disaster if atmospheric concentrations of CO2 remained above 350 ppm.

Everyone has now embraced this goal as necessary for stabilizing the planet and preventing complete disaster. Now the trick is getting our leaders to pay attention and craft policies that will put the world on track to get to 350.

이산화탄소 농도를 350 ppm으로!!
이산화탄소 농도를 현재의 387 ppm에서 350 ppm으로 안정화시키자는 취지의 "350 환경캠페인"이 오늘2009년 10월 24일에 전세계 6대륙에서 동시에 열리고 있읍니다.

Gogh, Shakespeare & Clayderman

Paintings of Vincent van Gogh, Writing of Willian Shakespeare, and Music of Richard Clayderman In order to appreciate and to reflect.

I have always considered Van Gogh to be one of my favorite artist and a kindred spirit! I salute the memory of Vincent.



좋아하는 예술가 고호를 회상하며 "별밤의 피아니스트" 리차드 클레이드만을 소개합니다. 금세기 최고의 피아니스트로서 독일의 한 저널은 베토벤 이후로 클래식을 대중화 시킨 피아니스트로 평하고 있습니다.

Bob Dylan's First

The leaves are changing…a chill is in the air…and Bob Dylan's fans are talking about Bob Dylan's first ever Christmas album "Christmas In The Heart"… that will be coming out next week.

A sample of "Christmas In The Heart"… beginning with the song "O' Come All Ye Faithful " , "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "Must Be Santa" . Enjoy it!

Suspect that it is an album only a Dylan’s fan could enjoy…fortunately, I am a Dylan fan and it will be played in my home this Christmas!



나뭇잎 색깔이 변하고…차츰 차가운 공기가 느껴지는 가을날들…다음주에는 밥 딜런이 생애 최초로 크리스마스 앨범인 “Christmas In The Heart”을 발표합니다…

샘플을 들어보니 아마도 밥 딜런의 팬만이 이앨범을 즐길수 있지 않을지…다행히도 밥 딜런의 팬으로서…이 앨범을 다가오는 크리스마스에 들으려 합니다!
