Dahaengida
(Dahaengida - Korean word for "I am glad/fortunate"
Release Date: April 2007
originally sung by Lee Juk)
After meeting you
Because I was able to
stroke your hair
Meeting you
Being able to breathe
Looking at each other
Holding you
I can rest in your arms
and cry whenever I'm weary
...I'm glad
a beautiful world exists
Even in the stormy wind
and under the shabby roof
The feeling that I'm not alone
Living day by day wearily
finding it hard to survive
now I think that this is not a meaningless existence
Because you
were always
here by my side
protecting me
Meeting you
Being able to cook the meal I can share with you
Meeting you
Because I can hold your chilled hands
Holding you,
Because I can offer even my useless comfort
...I'm glad
a beautiful world exists
Even in the stormy wind
and under the shabby roof
The feeling that I'm not alone
Living day by day wearily
finding it hard to survive
Because you
were always
here by my side
protecting me
Meeting you
Being able to
stroke your hair

You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. ~Author Unknown
It isn't the size of the gift that matters, but the size of the heart that gives it.
~ Quoted in The Angels' Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. ~William A. Ward
To give and then not feel that one has given is the very best of all ways of giving. ~Max Beerbohm
If you give what can be taken, you are not really giving. Take what you are given, not what you want to be given. Give what cannot be taken. ~Idries Shah
The manner of giving is worth more than the gift. ~Pierre Corneille, Le Menteur
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present. ~Babatunde Olatunji

“A book is a gift you can open again and again.”
~Garrison Keillor
T he past is history
The future is a mystery
This moment is a gift
That's why it is called the present.
To turn Mencius into an erudite man, his mother moved three times, from the graveyard where his father was buried, to a noisy street, and finally to a place near schools and temples. There, Mencius focused on learning and became a great man.
孟子：儒家代表人物，他继承了孔子的思想，周游列国努力实现仁政理想。本集讲述孟子的生平，在他童年的时候，因无心学业从而令孟母三迁的故事，表现孟子少年勤奋好学，到成年不断求学的经过。
孟母三迁
战国的时候，有一个很伟大的大学问家孟子。孟子小的时候非常调皮，他的妈妈为了让他受好的教育，花了好多的心血呢！
有一次，他们住在墓地旁边。孟 子就和邻居的小孩一起学着大人跪拜、哭嚎的样子，玩起办理丧事的游戏。孟子的妈妈看到了，就皱起眉头：「不行！我不能让我的孩子住在这里了！」孟子的妈妈 就带着孟子搬到市集旁边去住。
到了市集，孟子又和邻居的小孩，学起商人做生意的样子。一会儿鞠躬欢迎客人、一会儿招待客人、一会儿和客人讨价还价，表演得 像极了！孟子的妈妈知道了，又皱皱眉头：「这个地方也不适合我的孩子居住！」
于是，他们又搬家了。这一次，他们搬到了学校附近。孟子开始变得守秩序、懂礼 貌、喜欢读书。这个时候，孟子的妈妈很满意地点着头说：「这才是我儿子应该住的地方呀！」
后来，大家就用“孟母三迁”来表示人应该要接近好的人、事、物，才能学习到好的习惯！
[译文]：从前孟子的母亲，选择良好的环境居住，是为了让孩子学好。孩子不肯努力向学，就割断织布机上的布来劝勉他。
