Been studying some of Korea’s most popular adages and metaphors and I particularly like this one.
열 번 찍어 안 넘어 가는 나무 없다
(There is no tree that won’t fall if you chop it 10 times –> Keep trying until you succeed)
What’s life if there is no ups and downs? (: The most important point is to keep trying.
나무 꼭 넘어요. 걱정하지 마! ^^
