Moo-Jung Cho (조무정, or pen-name C. Bonaventure) was raised in Korea for the first quarter of his life. After successive post-baccalaureate degrees in Canada and the United States, he spent 40 years working as a pharmaceutical chemist both in industry and academia. After retiring in 2013, he began interpreting Korean proverbs in four essay collections, all in English to promote Korean culture and disseminate the wisdom therein. These essays should offer a counter-balance to the “fast and furious” pace of modern living.
M. J. Cho has resided in Las Vegas, Nevada, with his wife June, since May 2018. June is a faculty member of the University of Nevada at Las Vegas.

책 소개
분야영어
The beauty of a proverb rests in its simplicity. Any children can use them as they see fit and refine them as they grow older with newer wisdom.A collection of essays, A Hole Gets Bigger Whenever You Work on It (구멍은 깍을수록 커진다), introduces 100 Korean proverbs and their meanings, emphasizing how universal these messages are in both Eastern and Western cultures. Though gentle and often humorous, these proverbs, derived from the everyday experience and lives of Korean ancestors, offer the time-tested wisdom that crosses continents as well as generations. This book is a sequel to the first two volumes, The Tongue Can Break Bones (사람의 혀는 뼈가 없어도 사람의 뼈를 부순다), and Easier to See Jeong (Love) Leaving than Arriving (드는 정은 몰라도 나는 정은 안다), each also having introduced 100 proverbs.
