An Ilkkun Should Be Passionate

An Ilkkun Should Be Passionate *DOJEON 8:24

1 “If, upon encountering a talented person of fine presence, you lose confidence—thinking, ‘A person of such caliber will surely attain lofty heights. How can a mediocrity such as myself succeed at a grand endeavor?’—you will bring your work to ruin.

2 If you think in this manner, success will elude you no matter how hard you try, and you will accomplish nothing.

3 Your guardian spirits will doubt you and come to believe, ‘Aiding one so feeble will bring our own work to ruination,’ and they will hence abandon you.”
