Almost forgot to post my translated lyrics.
The song called "Road". It's a Korean song by god, a used-to-be big time group.
Where does this road lead to
Donno where it's taking me
no way to know no way to know..I'm just waking down the road again today
People donno whether there's a chosen way or we should make our own way through
no way to know no way to know.. I'm just walking down the road again today.
Why am I standing on this road, Is it really for me?
Will my dream come true at the end of this road?
Wanna know what gives the happiness
is it money, honor, or people I love?
wann know wanna know.. but still can't answer.
I want to say confidently that It's my road
and don wanna look back or regret
and just wanna keep waking on and on.. but still not sure.
Why am I standing here on this road..
Is it really for me?
Will my dream come true at the end of this road
What's my dream?
Who is it for?
The dream come true, Will I be able to smile?

Art Critique and 3 comments
1. Description:
There is a big snow-topped mountain with clouds shading it all over. I see another mountain range in the back that seems no bigger than the one in front. I see hills on both sides of the picture where in front there is a dense looking forest of evergreens. What's closest from the viewer is a little bank harboring a small pont with several trees standing on it. One can also spot a river flowing in between.
2. Technique: The photographer tried to take a wide view shot of the landscape. The ambient light is more noticeably present on the left side of the picture. The right side looks a little burned in. Judging by a little difference between brightness and darknesss, the pic has low contrast.
3. Analysis: David's got it
4. Interpretation: David's got it
5. Assesment(Judgment): The photographer must have wanted to highgliht the magnificance of the landscape and he did a good job on that. By just looking at it, we can easily feel overwhelmed and breath-taken by the beauty of the scenery here. It looks quite valuable and reputed for its lucidity and illustration of freshness. I think it would have been better if a little bit more brightened and texturized.
Comments on other art postings:
1. The Jinny's:
holy cow.. literally.
I really like the rough strokes used in this painting. I can definitly identify myself with the Korean spirit inflitrating throughout this single cow. It's quite a familar painting as I've known it ever since very little, but every single time I see it, it blows me away.
(Gosh!! I can't post my comment on Jinny's blog!! it Freak;n keeps loggi off by itself!! WTH)
2. The Young Min's (forgot her English name sorry):
Wo.. first I see this man flying with some woman and that ain't looking so good cuz it seems like he's kidnapping her. We can tell by the given facial expression here on the canvas that they both are not really enjoying it. It's my opinion so bear with me.
I like the colors used though. A bit muddy, and abstract, deep impression I got from it.
3. The Elena's:
I couldn't have explained about the painting better than Elena. It needs no further description on how fantastically she presented her work. Every time she pointed those riddles out of the pic, I was takenaback at the niggling sense of the painter.

3 examples of turning lemons into lemonade
Steve Job : We've even watched a video clip of him talking about his setbacks in life and how we turned it upside down. Such a good story, and I give him that.
Quyen's story: Perfect example of how one can rise from the gutter. She was hardscrabbled, but got a full scholarship to Yale, and eventually winds up as successful.
Perry Klebahn: He broke his ankle, not being able to run as well as he used to. He agonizes himself. But, he invents this snowshoe and makes a lot of money in the end. Wow

Turning lemons into lemonade
One day I went to school for a project meeting, and found out later that it was canceled. It traumatized me. But, I figured it was such a wonderful day with perfect weather so went down to the court and played basketball with random people there and befriended them. I turned lemons into lemonade.
Still reading the chapter.. might take a little for examples of turning lemons into lemonade.

chapter 7 quotes
Even when we're lucky, we've usually worked remarkable hard to put ourselves in that position.
: There's no such thing as luck. Say u picked up a 100 dollar bill on the street, u might think u really got blessed or something but not. It's all because you have done something that drove you down there. U must have done something very charitable that some guy put a bill in ur path way, waiting for the best timing.
In short, being observant, open-minded , friendly, and optimistic invites luck your way.
: No kidding! u have to be observing a lot unless u want to miss any bill lying on the street. And, open-minded! dah! u need to embrace stuff even if they may look dull and boring, who knows? in a stupid looking sea shell you might be able to find a pearl.
Lucky people don't just pay attention to the world around them and meet interesting individuals.
: Yeah~ pimps don't hang with wanna bees~ cuz they know they're something. True that u don have to prick ur ears to hear bull crap from ur fruit head friends! go meet people for real!

chapter 6 quotes
1. If you're passionate about something but not particularly good at it, then it's going to be pretty frustrating to try to craft a carreer in that area.
: The passions we have gotta be something we can make use of or at least minimally lucrative. If one's following his dumb passions that don't put food on the table, I think there's no point.
2. The sweet spot is where your passions overlap with your skills and the maret.
: Yeah~ I dare say you wanna set your passions in the first place for something that you would stick to down the road no matter what, such that you would be able to make some dough out of when chips are down.
3. When I was in my early twenties, it was surprisingly difficult for me to separate whwat I wanted for myself and what others wanted for me.
: This ain't a quote but I think its what most of my friends in 20s would nod to. It's hard seriously for one to stand burden from others looking at you starry-eyed. Same here, I've always wanted to be a zookeeper or if lucky a zoo runner, but people around me have kind of pushed me up to now. I appreciate them in some way, otherwise I would have gone really really bad, but come to think of it I never did what I desperately wanted to do for my own sake. Shame on me

Life philosophy
I don't really have my own fixed philosophy but there is one motto I always stick to myself
" Family is the heaven of the earth "
I put a great.. greatest emphasis on the importance of family.
Without a family, we are nothing more than a baseless creature having nowhere to rest.
Family is the start of all, and lasts forever.

even though it's always difficult to abandon a project, it is much easier in the early stages of a venture, before there is an enourmous escalation of committed time and energy pg. 78
I agree with this statement because I've experienced the kind of hardship you often get.. more like a dillemma when you have no choice but to give up on some thing but you don't want to since u put too much effort and time in it. There's a korean saying "Leave during the applause".
Quitting is actually incredibly empowering pg. 79
Yes.. in one way it's devastating because nobody likes to surrender, but in another way it means u have control over this and shove it around any way you want, free to leave it any time you want.
A successful career is not a straight line but a wave with ups and downs. pg. 86
There's no one shot one kill success in anybody's life. Any kind of success no matter what it is requires trial and error. I used to bake a little bit, and it took me a day of 4 tries to get a single corn bread.

assignment
On this day the expression ‘OK’ entered into the American vernacular. What does it mean and who is credited as being the first person to use the expression publicly.
Okay (also spelled "OK," "O.K.") is a colloquial English word denoting approval, assent, or acknowledgment. "Okay" has frequently turned up as a loanword in many other languages. As an adjective, "okay" means "adequate," "acceptable" ("this is okay to send out"), "mediocre" often in contrast to "good" ("the food was okay"); it also functions as an adverb in this sense By Google Wikipedia!
THere has been a lot of speculation on the origin of the 'ok' usage. some experts say it must trace back to some old expressions of various languages in Europe. Some say it's originated as an abrreviation of African language expressions. However, no assertion has been proven to be authentic.
The first person nick named "Old Kinderhook" was the first person who spread this word publicly during the presidential election in 1840 in the USA. The supporters of the candidate created this nick name and started using it, later on making the OK club out of the initials of the nick name.

Read the following quotes taken from Chapter 3 of What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20.
With your partner discuss the questions below.
“The rules made by society are a huge presence in our lives, created by the government, religious groups, our employers, our schools, our neighbors, and our families. Because these social groups craft the explicit rules around us, we often find ourselves in situations where we are driven to break them to satisfy our personal desires or the drives of our species.” p/33
“Everyday, physical signs tell all of us what to do, written instructions direct us how to behave, and social guidelines urge us to act within specific parameters. In fact, we also make lots of rules for ourselves, in large part encouraged by others. These rules become woven into our individual fabric as we go through life.” p/33
“We draw imaginary lines around what we think we can do – lines that often limit us much more than the rules imposed by society at large.” p/33
“We define ourselves by our professions, our income, where we live, the car we drive, our education, and even by our horoscope. Each definition locks us into specific assumptions about who we are and what we can do.” p/34
“We always make our own prisons, with rules that we each create for ourselves, locking us into specific roles and out of an endless array of possibilities.” p/34
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Do you agree with these quotes?
I agree. We're living in our own shell, never thinkin of breaking out of it. Once we step out, we taste a different flavor of a different world colored with a variety of outlandish concepts. WE need to break the mold!
When is a rule really just a suggestion? And when do suggestions morph into rules?
With some exceptions, rules are mostly suggestions, suggestions created by our society or sometimes a minority. For example, "It's bad to litter" is a suggestion commonly agreed upon by many people for the sake of keeping our place clean. When we become obsessed with suggestions, however, they shift into rules, and this isn't good.
What are the consequences – good and bad – of getting “off the prescribed path” (breaking the rules)?
Good thing is, we become audacious( not sure about the spell), and dare to go for whatever seems chellengable. We come to be fearless and vibrant, luckily sometimes stumbling upon life time opportunities.
Bad is, we can end up behind the bars, or physically hurt from unexpected assualts. It's a crapshoot, a gamble in which your choice leads to a result good or bad.
What happens to those who break the rules?
Judging from some cases where school drop-outs turned out very sucessful in the end, as long as it's not about breaking legal, ethical rules, people see better by breaking the "rules".

1. New Yorkers, both guards and prisoners and as a result they no longer have the capacity to leave the prison they have made or even see it as a prison.
I totally clicked with this line since we all live confined within our self-made boundaries, and this is how people rationalize their setbacks, not knowing they've asked for it themselves.
2. Bikini or die.
This is such an awesome catch phrase for a tour company. Bikini or die.. It's like for skaters skate or die. Summer's creeping up, and some should be motivated by this.
3. Think as big as possible by Llary Page.
However aimless this may sound, we need to think big and see things in a wide, objective point of view. The world what we make of it.

(3) On this day, many years ago, Stanley went in search of Livingstone. Who are these individuals and what is their story? What is the famous quote attributed to this event?
Livingstone lost contact with the outside world for about 6 years and was sick for the last 4 years. Stanely was sent to find him by NEW YORK Herald newspaper in 1869 and found Livingstone in the town of UJiJI on the shore of Lake Tanjanika, greeting with the famous words now "Dr. Livingstone I presume?" Livingstone answered "Yes, and I feel thankful that I am here to welcome you." These famous quotes are, however, being suspected as a fabrication since there is no proof that they said so because the encountering part of Stanley's diary got torn off.

Which is your favorite virtue, and why?
My favorite virtue is teamperance
I've seen so many people losing temper and commit crimes in the heat of the moment.
They end up in jail or a serious jam, and, without exception, regret what they've done.
Getting up early, going to class on time, keeping a promise etc are all associated with this.
What are some of the reasons you think the “Live Strong” bracelet is so popular?
It's a simple, easy reminder on one's wrist keeping him/her aware of whatever he/she decided to do all all times.
Maybe it became so popular because nobody had never come up with such a creative idea.

a. What according to Dr. Niedenthal, is the scientific explanation for smiling?
muscle contraction that varies among certain situations. It's also highly related to a country's custom.
b. How did Dr. Niedenthal and her colleagues begin to study the science of smiling?
They noticed it's such a complicated way of expression assosiated with diverse emotions followed by varying types of muscle contractions.
c. According to the article, is it correct to say a smile is simply an expression reflecting feelings of happiness? Explain.
It's wrong to say a smile only displays feelings of happiness. As stated above, it accounts for various types of emotions such as jeolousy, fright, shame, etc.
The thing is, each smile aimed to show a different feeling looks quite different from another.
d. What are some of the categories smiles fall into? What are some of the distinguishing features of each?
happy smile
: cheek muscles contract thus pulling up the ends of the mouth with crinkling eyes.
forced smile
: cheek muscles contract.. and that's it.
embarrassed smile
: chin doesn't slant up.. rather it slightly flops down as if spacing out
e. Is it possible that people use smiles to gain some advantage over others? How?
Certainly possible. Some people are crackhand at facking smiles trying to look better, like in an interview no interviewer would like to choose the smile-less over the smile. This is the case of getting some advantage for those who smile. Sometimes, smiles are ofthen used for one to get away with a blame.

What I learned from Kyle
He took the initiative, I give him that.
Never ever 've imagined someone getting such a big house in about a year with a single clip.. basically without any money invested except those transportation fees for a string of trades.
I bet he was the first and the last to think up this briiliant idea to initiate a trading relay to get what he wants may that seem so far fetched since other follow-up, copycat-like tradings won't work.
I guess I have to break the mold and start this lateral thinking.. as if a little naive child, filling with a lot of creative thoughts.
Who knows.. I might be able to zoom an island or something.

Creative ways to accomplish the work I want to do given some extra time.
First I would like to learn how to pull some tricks on my board I got a couple of years ago...
I've moved on from long board to skate cuz my last board broke after a hard core bail... sad.
One way to creatively learn tricks is to constantly picture myself being a narly skater.
Another way is to... practice by demonstrating tricks on a finger board
Lastly,,, think myself as a skateboard and try to understand what stance or posture fits those Bad A moves.
