The end is where we start from.
끝부터 시작한다.
– T.S. Eliot
Another quote that comes to mind goes something like, “When you come to the end, keep going.” So. It may be Monday, the semester may be ending, beginnings and endings may be everywhere we look, but just remember: the end is where we start from.
Translation and all mistakes are mine.
Begin anywhere.
아무데나 시작해라.
– John Cage 존 케이지
I’ve been gone for about a month in order to focus on the beginning of my last year in undergrad, but I’m back! New posts to come, beginning with this Friday.
Sometimes, it’s hard to know what to do when there’s a huge pile of things that need doing. Assignments, readings, papers, blog posts. Language study. Post-graduation life prep. Where do you start? Just start. Begin anywhere, and then you’ll figure out what to do next. 여러분 화이팅!
Translation by yours truly. All mistakes are mine.
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
어떤 일이든 항상 실제로 이루어지기 전까지는 불가능해 보인다.
– Nelson Mandela

If you want to be good at something, you’re going to have to work for it. It wouldn’t be worth it if just anyone could do it easily. Get on that language learning, now!

You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.
앞으로 할 행동으로 평판을 쌓을 수는 없다.

So get language learning, people! And reading, writing, running, climbing, LIVING! Now. Right now. The best time to start is now.

You’re probably not surprised that this is what I’m listening to…the whole album is fantastic! Hey, did you know Seungri can speak Japanese? Yeah. In the midst of his busy schedule, he learned a language. And perhaps he needs some work on his English, but at least he’s working on it! You should get back to studying Korean now.
Do you ever pause and wonder why you’re doing something? What’s the point of continuing something? Maintaining focus and motivation while also keeping momentum is extremely difficult, and inability to do so can kill a passion if the passion isn’t strong enough to actually be called a passion.

Forget past mistakes and forget failures. Forget everything except what you are going to do now and do it.
과거의 실수와 시패는 잊어라. 지금 하고자 하는 바를 제외한 모든 것을 잊고 그것에 매진하라.
