✅Watch What Coins Can Do

🧠 Kick Your Life™: Wisdom from Korea – Week 10

“Even a mountain is made from gathering dust.”

Hello Parents & Teachers,

We live in a world that celebrates big leaps:
Huge goals. Instant results. Overnight transformations.

But real life… doesn’t work like that.

Real growth is quiet.
It looks like a small kindness.
A repeated morning routine.
A dollar saved.
A calm response when you feel like yelling.

This week’s Korean proverb reminds us:

“Even a mountain is made from gathering dust.”

Tiny efforts don’t feel exciting.
But they’re what build lives that last.

✨ A Life Story

Every morning, Mr. Park set out a small container of coins by the door.
His daughter, Minji, would put one coin in the jar each day if she:

• Got ready without reminders

• Helped with a small chore

• Spoke kindly when frustrated

At first, it felt silly.
One coin? That’s it?

But over the weeks, the jar filled.
They counted them together and saw progress—not just in coins, but in habits.

One day Minji said, “I think I’m getting better at mornings.”
Mr. Park smiled. “It’s because you’re practicing—one coin at a time.”

📖 This Week’s Korean Wisdom

“Even a mountain is made from gathering dust.”

This proverb reminds us:
What matters is not how grand the effort is—
but how steady it becomes.

🛠️ Try This with Your Family or Classroom

Ask your kids or students:

• What’s one thing you want to get better at?

• What’s the smallest action you could do every day to improve?

Then try this:

Start a “Dust-to-Mountain Tracker”—use stickers, coins, or checkmarks.
Celebrate consistency—not perfection.

Let the mountain grow naturally.
That’s how real change happens.

✅ Your Weekly Kick Plan

This week, choose one tiny habit that matters:

• One kind comment

• One dollar saved

• One quiet breath before speaking

• One page read

• One “thank you” at the end of the day

Repeat it for 7 days.
Reflect on how small builds strong.

🌿 Remember

You don’t need to start with a mountain.
You just need one speck of dust… gathered with care.

Let this week’s wisdom slow you down, ground you, and help you rebuild—one coin at a time.

Warmly,
