박수

Sometimes i love the things i do.

The clock is about to hit midnight.
I only eat breakfast at home.
I bought a 1/2 of a watermelon for ~$12. 만.원. and i cut it all up as my very last task of a long day.

No surprise if my face starts turning red from overdose♬

behind stories of many lucky butts in this world

One's ability can easily be covered under the the concept of luck.
Effort underestimated. Time of preparation neglected.
Readiness sometimes speaks for boxes of books, hours of at the library, and buckets of tears. We catch the opportunity at the right moment, because we've been molding and building for this moment.

When one merely smiles and says, "I was lucky at the time," we shouldn't take it as lightly as it sounds, because the smile actually is the sign of triumph. (Only the winner can exhibit that kind of serenity). As listeners, we are not the ones to make presumptions about what hidden factors are involved in one's "luck."
Indeed, many stories are left untold.

So we hear that luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
When someone is being modest and calls his/her work a great deal of fortune, just nod and smile, but inside, let us not forget to give silent applause and blessing for the wonderful work that's been done to make this become an actuality.






"행운"이라는 단어에는 사실 잊혀지지 말아야할 많은 것들이 가려진다. 그 마지막 웃음을 지어보이기 위해 실제로 속에서는 수많은 전쟁들을 거치는지..밖에서 보는 사람들은 끝끝내 모를 일이다.

서울역에 서있던 김현은

1. You are exhausted from an extraordinarily long day.
2. You are in the middle of a fast-moving crowd.
3. Amidst the crowd, there is a man [most likely homeless] lying on the floor.
4. His entire body is shaking--he must be having a seizure.

With all these situations combined, what do you think you'd do?
이상황에서 당신이라면 어떻게 하시겠나요?





Generally, speaking, we have strong faith in our good nature. We are so sure that we are incapable of neglecting justice, charity, or any opportunity to demonstrate our warmth. But more often than not, we change according to situations and we succumb to an "uncontrollable" force. The true image you firmly believe in, actually, might reveal itself as a surprising character. "It wasn't my choice," we'd say. "This was a special case." So what.

Around 10:30pm tonight, I :
1. arrived in 서울역 (Seoul train station).
2. It is semi-crowded from people coming in and out of the capital.
3. (same as the above).
4. (same as the above).

나는 이 상황에서 어떻게 했을까?

사람들은, 다른 사람들은...
fidget for a moment, display a look of shock/discomfort, and finally, walk away feeling uneasy. I could've easily passed too. Why not--that's what everyone's doing. As I was making heavy steps toward the gate, I feel a flood of fear and disappointment. I have disappointed myself because the courage I thought I have in me, was nowhere to be seen at that moment. I am just like everyone else.

When this struck me, I make hysterical footsteps toward any direction and my consciousness hits that there is a police station in the corner of the building. There was nothing much I could do, so I just report this whole situation. They calm me down: "Show us where it is and we will take care of it."

I get out of the station and call JW to explain everything that just happened to me. But I burst into tears because this is all too overwhelming. I'm too busy giving excuses for why I couldn't be more courageous. But the tears were really from the feeling of emptiness I got after I find out that I can be like every passenger who just goes with the flow and ignores inner voice.

So I end up NOT being a passenger, but what presses me is the fact that, it is so easy to deny my morals. I though I'd be different. 난 정말 나는 다를줄 알았는데 말이다.

그랬으면 좋겠네1

Lena Park. 박정현.

Many would say that she is by far the best female singer alive in Korea.
That may be true. Undoubtedly, she is extremely talented, powerful, and also very smart. But what really differentiates her is her flow, the immense exertion of passion.

According to Talmud, there are 3 things that humans cannot hide: sneeze, poverty, and the feeling of love. If I were to add one more on that list, I'd dare say passion. Fascination. Enjoyment.

I admire her because I can see that she's high (like "drug high") on music.
I admire her little body which exerts tremendous energy.
