Summarized by durumis AI

  • The Korean idiom “Time is gold” emphasizes the importance of time and that once it is gone, it cannot be recovered, implying that time should be used sparingly.
  • As someone who has been educated about time management since childhood, I felt pressured by time and put the same pressure on people around me, but as I grew up, I realized that it is important to have leisure.
  • Time is precious, but living a life chasing time is not right. It is important to look around and have leisure.

The Story Behind the Korean Idiom "Time is Gold"


Today, I'd like to talk about this time.

I received thorough time management education from a young age.

Arrive at least 5 minutes early for appointments

Don't be lazy when taking breaks

Wake up early

Don't be "sewol-a ne-wol-a" when doing something, etc.

- Sewol-a ne-wol-a - a figurative expression meaning slow actions or work processing

I think this education helped me a lot.

During my school days, I was a diligent and hardworking student, and I rarely had any mishaps like missing the bus.

But the problem is that because I was pressured by time like this, I also ended up pressuring the people around me.

View in Korean


I would feel upset if my friend was even a little late for an appointment, and I would feel frustrated when I saw someone "mung-geujeok-georeoda."

- Mung-geujeok-georeoda - to act lazily without moving forward

Anyone can have their own leisure time as long as they don't cause great harm to others.

So, after I became an adult, I try to think calmly.

But I still have to arrive 5 minutes early at the appointment place.

So what's become more leisurely? Now I'm okay if my friend is a bit late for an appointment.

I learned how to take a walk around and wait.

The idiom "Time is gold" is very true, but it doesn't seem right to "live chasing time."
