- An Il-ggoon Should Be Confident
- 3 “If, upon seeing a talented person of fine presence, you lose confidence―thinking, ‘A person like that will be successful. How can a mediocrity like me handle a great task?’―you will ruin your work.
- 4 If you think like this, you will not accomplish anything. You will not succeed regardless of how hard you try.
- 5 Your guardian spirits will come to have doubts. ‘By supporting this weakling, our own work will be ruined,’ they will say, and they will leave.”
- Always Have a Bold and Dignified Presence
- 8 “However cold you are, do not cross your arms or warm yourself near a flame.
- 9 Those carrying out the work of heaven and earth should always have a bold and dignified presence.”
- (JSD Dojeon 8,24)
