Quote:- Tenho um cachorro temporário, todo torto, com os pelos eriçados e o rabinho trêmulo. Exploramos juntos as ruas, vamos ao parque correr; conhecemos os outros cães, mastins desanimados, labradores festivos, cavalier kings charles spaniels tímidos e os milhares de cruzamentos imprevisíveis dos nascidos de amores clandestinos enquanto os donos, que nunca sabem de nada, olham para o outro lado. O mundo nunca me pareceu tão vasto. Aproveitamos o dia e eu não trocaria esta nova vida pela de mais ninguém. Não poderia invejar ninguém; a vida que estou vivendo, agora que examinei os mínimos detalhes, agora que não tento fazê-la parecida com algum tipo de ideal inatingível, é tão minha que não posso cotejá-la com nenhuma outra, em nenhuma régua de comparação. Infinitas são as coisas que não tenho, infinitas também as que não conheço; mas desde que perdi minhas velhas certezas e aprendi a me sujeitar às regras das escolas antigas, reencontrei um prazer perdido há muito tempo. O de aprender, de tentar, de virar meus pensamentos do avesso, de descobrir que estava errando e que só o fato de descobrir isso é uma oportunidade para tentar fazer um pouco melhor. Perdi muito, e entre as coisas perdidas há também aquelas que eu pensava controlar, possuir, saber: mas isso pelo menos me dá a chance de continuar a procurar, a demandar, a estudar, a espiar a vida de todos os ângulos. Vivo buscando algo que não sei; talvez apenas a felicidade de continuar a buscar. Penso nas palavras de Sócrates: uma vida sem busca não é digna de ser vivida. Caminho com o Cão pelas ruas do bairro, não tenho nada de meu, sou feliz. Quem sabe eu tenha aprendido a viver um pouco a partir dos filósofos antigos; e talvez seja isso, afinal, o que vale a pena contar.

Quote:- Thank you, Mr. Secretary General, UNICEF Executive Director, Excellencies and distinguished guests from across the world.My name is Kim Nam Jun, also known as RM, the leader of the group BTS. It’s an incredible honour to be invited to an occasion with such significance for today’s young generation.Last November, BTS launched the Love Myself campaign with UNICEF, building on our belief that true love first begins with loving myself. We have been partnering with UNICEF’s #ENDviolence program to protect children and young people all over the world from violence.Our fans have become a major part of this campaign with their action and enthusiasm. We truly have the best fans in the world!I would like to begin by talking about myself.I was born in Ilsan, a city near Seoul, South Korea. It’s a beautiful place, with a lake, hills, and even an annual flower festival. I spent a happy childhood there, and I was just an ordinary boy.I would look up at the night sky in wonder and dream the dreams of a boy. I used to imagine that I was a superhero, saving the world.In an intro to one of our early albums, there is a line that says, My heart stopped…I was maybe nine or ten.Looking back, that’s when I began to worry about what other people thought of me and started seeing myself through their eyes. I stopped looking up at the stars at night. I stopped daydreaming. I tried to jam myself into moulds that other people made. Soon, I began to shut out my own voice and started to listen to the voices of others. No one called out my name, and neither did I. My heart stopped and my eyes closed shut. So, like this, I, we, all lost our names. We became like ghosts.I had one sanctuary, and that was music. There was a small voice in me that said, ‘Wake up, man, and listen to yourself! But it took me a long time to hear music calling my name.Even after making the decision to join BTS, there were hurdles. Most people thought we were hopeless. Sometimes, I just wanted to quit.I think I was very lucky that I didn’t give it all up.I’m sure that I, and we, will keep stumbling and falling. We have become artists performing in huge stadiums and selling millions of albums.But I am still an ordinary, twenty-four-year-old guy. If there’s anything that I’ve achieved, it was only possible because I had my other BTS members by my side, and because of the love and support of our ARMY fans.Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become. I would like to say one last thing.After releasing the Love Yourself albums and launching the Love Myself campaign, we started to hear remarkable stories from our fans all over the world, how our message helped them overcome their hardships in life and start loving themselves. These stories constantly remind us of our responsibility.So, let’s all take one more step. We have learned to love ourselves, so now I urge you to "speak yourself".I would like to ask all of you. What is your name? What excites you and makes your heart beat?Tell me your story. I want to hear your voice, and I want to hear your conviction. No matter who you are, where you’re from, your skin colour, gender identity: speak yourself.Find your name, find your voice by speaking yourself.I’m Kim Nam Jun, RM of BTS.I’m a hip-hop idol and an artist from a small town in Korea.Like most people, I made many mistakes in my life.I have many faults and I have many fears, but I am going to embrace myself as hard as I can, and I’m starting to love myself, little by little.What is your name? Speak Yourself!

Quote:- That all our knowledge begins with experience there can be no doubt. For how should the faculty of knowledge be called into activity, if not by objects which affect our senses and which, on the one hand, produce representations by themselves or on the other, rouse the activity of our understanding to compare, connect, or separate them and thus to convert the raw material of our sensible impressions into knowledge of objects, which we call experience? With respect to time, therefore, no knowledge within us is antecedent to experience, but all knowledge begins with it.But though all our knowledge begins with experience, is does not follow that it all arises from experience. For it is quite possible that even our empirical knowledge is a compound of that which we perceive through impressions, and of that which our own faculty of knowledge (incited by sense impressions) supplies from itself, a supplement which we do not distinguish from that raw material until long practice and rendered us capable of separating one from the other.It is therefore a question which deserves at least closer investigation and cannot be disposed of at first sight: Whether there is any knowledge independent of all experience and even of all impressions of the senses? Such knowledge is called 'a priori' and is distinguished from empirical knowledge, which has its source 'a posteriori', that is, in experience...
