[Daily] 20151018 - Some worries

These days, I have some worries about my life and future.

first, It's about book. Actually These days I read many books which are mainly about 'philosophy', 'humanities'. The problem is this is very interesting to me nevertheless This books are not related to my major for now. I was thinking about why I am interested in a book now. I don't know exactly about that. But one thing is for sure. Reading books make me feel peace and happy.
and I think I like reading rather than my major.

liberal arts or my major. That is the question.

2. Second, "What is my Goal in my life", "Who am i", "What should I do for the world?"
I often think of these kinds of questions. that is very important to me. I have to answer this questions. After that, I find out these things, situations and then I have to start somethings.
Below quotation is one of my favorite.

It is direction rather than speed that really matters in life.

[Diary] 20151018 the precious picture that My friends gave to me

The precious picture that my friend gave to me.

Min Gyu is a one of my best friend. I met him at university at first when I was 20 years old. He is a very funny guy and he treats me very nice. So Min-Gyu and I become quite close.

Anyway, He is my old friend But now he is in big trouble.  Not long before, He got dumped by his girlfriend. He says when he was sleeping in his house, his (ex)friend call him and say "I don't want to be in a romantic relationship with you anymore". At that time, He looks cool and doesn't take it seriously. but it's not true. Actually He feels kind of lonely and depress.

Back to our story, After he broke up his ex-girlfriend He called me a lot and said what about meet tonight... (because of lonely..) Someday, He gave above picture to me. He was painting himself. He writes a sentence in the back side of the picture like this.

"Dear my forever friend, Jong Hyun.

I hope that Min Gyu is going to meet great girl in the near future.
Who wants to meet my friend Min Gyu? Definitely He is a quite nice guy :)

[Diary] Let's say someone's story

I'm going to write on a post.

I'm now not able to attend this meeting due to my another working job.
At that time, I had to handle a project of software development. But I gave up handling a project.
Because I underestimated myself.
So I had canceled my meeting my schedule. Now, It's impossible to undo my decision.

Someone who doesn't know me could think of that I'm a very impolite person.

And I came across my co-worker, Jin-Su.
He always convinced me about that.  "Hey, you have to do this to be promoted."
Alright, he is good guys. :)





key points

• Due to 
• underestimate
• It's impossible to undo a bad decision.
• Someone who is diplomatic can do all of these things while still being polite and respectful
• Come across
• Exaggeration
• convince
• to be promoted

[Funglish] 002. Paranoia

Paranoia

Do you ever find yourself being paranoid? I have a friend named Tina, and if she finds a mosquito in her room, everything in her life stops until she kills that mosquito! Even if she has an important appointment, such as this FUNglish club, she is willing to be late if it means she won’t have to have her thoughts linger all day about the mosquito obnoxiously residing in her room. Yes, this is a true story, and just like Tina, we all have things we are paranoid about.

1.    What are you paranoid about? If you cannot think of anything, what are people paranoid about in general?

a. Are you a germaphobe?
b. Can you stand watching dishes pile up in the sink?
c. If you are in a rush and dash out of your house and, 5 minutes later, you realize you might have forgotten to turn off the light in your room, would you go back to check? What if this was the stove? Or the laundry machine? Or even forgetting to lock your door?

Recently, in Korea, we experienced an outbreak of MERS. Some statistics state that hand sanitizer companies had a spike in sales due to this incident. Hospitals purchased extra hand sanitizers as more and more people were using it to prevent an infection. Not surprisingly, hospitals were not the only ones buying extra hand sanitizers, as restaurants, schools, and public buildings also wanted to provide the people with a preventative method from attracting MERS.

2. How did MERS affect you? Do you still worry about it

3. They say a spike of sales occurred with personal purchases of hand sanitizers and surgical masks. Were you one of them? Are you still using them now?

4. The government of Korea appointed certain hospitals to isolate MERS-affected patients from the rest of the public. As this arrangement is still current, would you feel safe going to these specific hospitals?

In one form or another, we may all have a bit of OCD – obsessive compulsive disorder. An obsession for something is likely due to a level of paranoia. Personally, I have one notable OCD problem. Every time I am done with my smart-phone, I have to make sure I turn off every app I am not using. They all must be off or else I feel a sense of discomfort shutting off my screen. I tried to leave some apps on once as a personal test and put away my phone in my pocket, but I felt very uneasy and quickly had to take my phone back out to shut off everything.

5. What are some of your OCD problems

[Funglish] 001. Strange Habits

Strange Habits

We all have habits. some of us have normal habits while others may possess very peculiar ones.

1. What are some of your normal habits?

a. Do you make your bad?

b. Do you wash your hair first or do your soap your body first?

c. Do you eat breakfast on a regular basis?

d. Do you drink the soup after you are done your instant noodles? (Ramyun) Why or why not?

2. What are some of your strange or peculiar habits?

a. Do you bite your nails?

b. Do you wipe through the front or around the back? LoL!

I was once taking the subway in Seoul, and there was a woman sitting next to me. She must have been in her 40's and, for the most part, she looked like a normal person. then, from my peripheral vision, I saw her take out something shiny from her bag. When my curiosity won my over, I took a better look only to find out it was her nail clippers. It seemed odd to me that she would take out such a thing out of the blue in the subway. But then, she did something that completely shocked me.

3. What do you think she started to do? What do you happened next?

Believe it or not, she actually started clipping her nails right then and there! Her clippings were dropping on the floor right in front of me. What's crazy is that, as she was clipping away, a piece managed to land right on my shoe! I shook it off, she apologized, and then continued as normal as if nothing strange was going on. Of course I was very surprised, but I found the situation more amusing than anything. I saw other people around me stare at her as if she was completely nuts. For further amusement, I was tempted to ask her to borrow her nail clippers after she was done!

4. What would you have done in that situation?

5. Do you consider that normal or strange? why?

They say you can tell a lot just by how you clip your nails, Most people are right-handed, some are left handed, and the occasional few are ambidextrous.

6. What are you?

For this example, I will assume everyone is right-handed. Some people prefer to clip the nails on their left hand simply because it's easier and faster to do. Others, however, prefer to get over with the harder part first by clipping the nails on their right hand before they continue on with the easy part.

7. If your dish consisted of two items, one you really loved and the other not so much, which would you finish first? Why?

8. When clipping your nails, do you clip your left hand or your right?

If you clip your easier hand first, they say you are less of a patient person and are the type yo seek instant gratification. On the other hand, no pun intended, if you clip your harder hand first, you are considered to be patient and wise and are a person who understands the benefits of delayed gratification.

9. Do you agree with this phiosophy?

10. Give me an example of instant gratification.

11. Give me an example of delayed gratification.

12. Would you say the way you sleep, what your blood type is, or even your horoscope is similar to the concepts of this reading.
