Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Jindol, must we throw away our precious memories just because they don’t make us money?”
“All these will become our memories. Don’t you think, Jindol? No matter how wealthy you are, you can’t turn back time. Even a billionaire is only young once.”

There’ll come a time where the bitterness fades away, and life will be at its best. Keep faith. That day will come! No matter where you go, take good care of your health.
“What’s the big deal about money? It makes life so hard for all of us, Jindol.”
“Spring will come earlier than you’d expect. You’re almost there. But remember, flowers can only bloom if they survive the frost. Don’t let the cold knock you down, alright?”

“If you feel like you owe him something, then keep that kindness in your heart and repay it. That’s how life works.
Parents have an uncanny ability to know when their children are having a hard time. Just by glancing at their back, the way they stoop, they can tell if something’s bothering their child. Parents always know.
“Every one of us needs our own little beach. A place where we can let go and cry. Here in Yeonnam-dong is one such spot, washing away our tears and sadness with its white frothy waves.”
