ABSTRACT

Nowadays, students, living on the world of infinitive competition, are forced to be 'a man of having economic senses' or 'a completive individual.' By the result, they don't have enough time for their self-reflections. The self-reflection is only achieved after such ontological questions whether he is living as a true human being are answered to himself, after thinking back his past life, definitely not through others's. The purpose of reconsidering the past life is to help people understand their life from the different angles, furthermore, making their plan for new life and realizing it. The wills comprise threes type of writings: 1) lists of property 2) the wills 3) engrave epitaphs. After writing the lists of their property, students recognize that they have received much better treatments(love, favor and caring) than they have deserved. Moreover, they must accept that even harassments become very important parts in terms of constructing their life. By this experience, we may have such self-esteem that 'I am a greater men than I have ever imagined.' While writing their wills, students may rethink about these life-events happened in the past. The rethinking of the past-events means that the life-experiences can be rearranged and restructured as they happened in order to give them significant meanings. As their life is rearanged and restructured, students will gain their energies not only for their self-reflection, also for their new life. The general practice of witting wills have been conducted to give teachings to the descendants. However, the propose of self-reflective wills is to archive the self-reflection on their life, furthermore, to have rightful attitudes and to gain energies for their new life. More than these things, the wills written for self-reflection have also healing effects. These healing effects are produced not only through the self-esteem on the way of writing these wills, but also through the importance of human relationship, the relaxation after dissipating negative experiences and the positive view after achieving new life.
