WEEKDAYS Are also Your Life
- Embrace All the Moment
“I wish it were ______!”
The moment you wish for something in the future, the time now is wasted from your life.
You may have thought of this: the current life isn't really my life. In other words, you think that the destination is somewhere else and that you are somewhere on the way to the final stop. It is as if you believe that your weight right now is not fixed. We wish all the time. “I wish summer vacation would come soon!” “I wish I could get a job soon!” “I wish my English would improve quickly” As of the spring of 2020, people everywhere would have the same wish: “I wish COVID-19 goes away soon!”
In Weekdays Are Also Your Life, the author Kim Shin-ji says, “Of course, there are moments in life that you just pass. There are times when you have to wait or endure. The important thing is to realize that they are in no way time that is wasted.” Kim realized this one Saturday when she and her husband were caught in a traffic jam on their way to an arboretum. As Kim complained that they were wasting their precious two hours on a crowded road, her husband hummed, "If this is part of the trip, it is also a part of the trip."
This book tells about her mother who annoys and moves her, her childhood that is full of embarrassing stories, and the little joys that make her endure every day. The author Jung Serang says, “After reading thirty pages of this book, it felt as if my stress level also diminished by about thirty percent.” Upon reading this book, you will smile in agreement with Jung. The warmth that permeates each sentence will warm up even the fingertips that turn the leaves.

(Vietnamese) Là một người luôn suy nghĩ làm sao để có cuộc sống mà không phải quá sức mệt mỏi. “Như vậy thôi cũng đủ rồi.” Nỗ lực để tự an ủi bản thân, an ủi người khác. Tôi có thể được uống bia vào buổi sáng tại địa điểm du lịch yêu thích nhất. Sau khi nhận ra rằng cuộc sống không như ý muốn, ngày hôm nay tôi chỉ sống cho chính mình. Tôi ước một ngày được làm chủ ngôi nhà nhỏ bên bờ biển.
