My dear juniors in Kyungpook National University!

Studying abroad, I am thinking much about my and your university, KNU. I'd like to say 
some of them for you. You are buds of KNU! You should be challengable, optimisitic, 
and philantropic. 
 
The challenge does not mean 'attack' but endless endeavor for possibility. You'll hear 
from your siniors from oversea through this "KNU Alumni Newsletter" that how they were 
challengable to seek their goal. They suffered same agony as you are having now. Nobody 
promised with them that he will suport their money and prepare their job when come back 
to Korea. Now, they are studying hard in many universities all over the world. You will 
ask them and you will follow them. 
Never stop dreaming! The world is smaller than you think.

Do you remember the "last ivy leaf" dangling on the wall? How do you think? Will it be 
fallen tomorrow or not? You shoul be optimistic. When you see a dead end in a distance 
who knows there is a hole or cracks which is breackable with just one punch. Knock! 
Do not give up and keep going on!

Do you have heartfull love for your neighlbor, nation, and human? What are you going 
to study for? For yourself? Think again, I suggest. People who does not love his neighbor, 
cannot love himself. What is nation and what is human? Why do we have to love them? 
I concluded, of course so far and changable in the future, that they are parts of ours 
and that it is the way to know, understand, and recognize us, yourself. 
You may not agree with me. O.K. Let's go to solve the matter. That is why we are living, 
I think.

You go ahead with challengable feet, optimistic head, and philantropic heart, we hope.
I or any other KNU alumnus really want to hear from you, our juniors.
Do not hesitate to send e-mail us please.
