Do you know that small pepper is spicy?
You don’t think so? There is a Korean
proverb that says like this!
‘작은 고추가 맵다(jak-eun
go-chu-ga maep-da)’ It means small pepper is spicy.
The hidden meaning for this is, even it is
small, its persistence
is strong that it can succeed in anything.
Then, why is pepper related to this meaning? It
can’t be proven with scientific
evidence, but it came from our ancestors’ experience!
While other peppers grow, some of them stop
growing. Outwardly, you can’t see them growing, however, instead of growing
their size, on inside, their energy from sunlight changes to spicy taste.
This is why small peppers are hotter than
big one.
As the same meaning of English proverbs,
Men are not to measured by inches.
Like this, sometimes, outlook is not the
whole story. The thing that really matters is the inside.
Big fancy thing can be nothing in inside, on
the contrary, small thing can be amazing thing!!
Being a one peacemaker might look like very
small and have no power
However, if you have the mindset in you, it
might be the key to change the world!
MANNAM is just a part of group in the world,
but in MANNAM, like the pepper, instead of spicy, PEACE is already happening!!
Let’s be the little pepper that makes WORLD
PEACE!
