Discussion

Share your thoughts with your teacher.
선생님과 의견을 나눠보세요.

  1. The passage presents money and happiness as competing measures of success. Can someone who is wealthy but unhappy be considered successful?
  2. "Do whatever makes you feel good" is listed as a possible life philosophy. What are the limits of this approach?
  3. "Success is conquering oneself" -- controlling emotions and desires. Is emotional self-mastery the foundation of all other forms of success?
  4. In Korean society, success is often publicly measured by education, career, and income. Does this narrow definition cause harm?
  5. If you could add one more definition of success to this list, what would it be?
