※ Thales of Miletus (BC 624 ~ BC 546, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales_of_Miletus ) ; an Ancient Greek pre-Socratic philosopher from Miletus in Ionia, Asia Minor.
Beginning in eighteenth-century historiography, many came to regard him as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition, breaking from the prior use of mythology to explain the world and instead using natural philosophy. He is thus otherwise referred to as the first to have engaged in mathematics, science, and deductive reasoning.
Thales's view that all of nature is based on the existence of a single ultimate substance, which he theorized to be water, was widely influential among the philosophers of his time. Thales thought the Earth floated on water.
In mathematics, Thales is the namesake of Thales's theorem, and the intercept theorem can also be referred to as Thales's theorem.
Thales was said to have calculated the heights of the pyramids and the distance of ships from the shore. In science, Thales was an astronomer who reportedly predicted the weather and a solar eclipse.
The discovery of the position of the constellation Ursa Major is also attributed to Thales, as well as the timings of the solstices and equinoxes.

What did people truly want to say to the world?
I want to convey the true heart of the person published here.
With this mindset, I hope to properly express Thales's heart.
1. Hope is the most universal of human possessions.
희망은 인간의 소유물 중에서 가장 보편적이다.
2. The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself.
인생에서 가장 어려운 일은 자기 자신을 아는 것이다.
3. Necessity is the strongest of things, for it rules everything.
필요는 모든 것을 통제하므로 모든 것 중에 최강자(最强者)이다.
4. Intellect is the swiftest of things, for it runs through everything.
지적(知的) 능력은 모든 것을 관통하므로 모든 것 중에 가장 신속한 것이다.
5. God is the most ancient of all things, for he had no birth.
신(神)은 태어난 적이 없으므로 지구상 모든 존재 중에 가장 오래된 고대인(古代人)이다.
6. We live not, in reality, on the summit of a solid earth but at the bottom of an ocean of air.
우리는 실제로 단단한 지구의 정상에 사는 것이 아니라 공기의 바다 밑바닥에 살고 있다.
7. Hope is the only good that is common to all men ; those who have nothing else possess hope still.
희망은 모든 사람에게 공통적인 유일한 선(善)이다.
희망이 없는 사람은 아무도 없다.
8. It is success that colors all in life.
Success makes fools admired, and makes villains honest.
성공은 인생의 모든 것을 아름답게 한다.
성공은 어리석은 사람을 존경받게 하고, 사악한 사람을 정직하게 만든다.
9. Nothing is more active than thought, for it travels over the universe, and nothing is stronger than necessity.
인간의 사고력(思考力)보다 활동적인 것은 없다.
왜냐하면 우주를 넘어 여행하기 때문이다.
그리고 필요보다 더 강한 것은 없다.
10. Water is the principle, or the element, of things.
All things are water.
All things are from water and all things are resolved into water.
물은 만물의 원리이자 요소(要所)이다.
만물은 물이다.
만물은 물에서 나온 것이고 만물은 물로 분해된다.
