More About Me

I'm passionate about

Put simply, I am passionate about all talks inspiring to imagination, what can lead humanity to the Promised Land if it is on the right track.

An idea worth spreading

I am short on remembering names of people. Recently, I was strucked by one sentence from one of the Ted speakers. "Education should be productive." I would like to interpret it as "A cause should be led to a result." However familiar to the doctrine of Karma in Hinduism it sounds, I love that. Every single thing I am doing is to some degree related to something else I had done or will be doing, or not. But, my point is that one thing could bring about another. Period.

Talk to me about

I am the husband of my beautiful wife, HyunMin, the father of my two lovely sons, Minu and Jinu, and a student of LIFE who is studying at Drew at this very moment.

People don't know that I'm good at

I am long on swimming, soccer, and reading books. Life is only one-time; so it is useless to spend a precious period of time to compare and contrast. The only mission is to enjoy it in full.

My TED Story

To improve my listening skills in English, I was bumped into TED about three years ago. From that on, almost everyday I visit and have some important meeting with each speaker who is all significant in leading people upto a higher level of intelligence, emotion, and desire. From a religiously ritual perspective, Ted could be a secret place where I meditate.

  • A comment on Conversation: Fill in the Blank - What the World needs now is __________ ?

    Jun 30 2012: Patience. In my view, our civilization is too much passionate about how to manipulate NATURE. When it comes to self-control, our MOTHER lost it completely. We know that when mom is angry our family as a whole is in trouble. We will see that sooner or later.

    A comment on Talk: Mikko Hypponen: Three types of online attack

    Jan 20 2012: Freedom vs. Control is the instinctive argument from the outset of the human civilization. But what is at stake here is the transition from the physical to the psychological at a maximum degree. Well... That is the way it goes!

    A comment on Conversation: What's your favorite word?

    Dec 15 2011: Mine is 'Humblness.'

    It does not mean lowering any of self-esteem; instead it is related to a sort of life-attitude assuming that there are always lots of people who are better than I am. With the word, I think we can more naturally enjoy life. That is why I like 'humbleness.'

  • A comment on Talk: Thomas Suarez: A 12-year-old app developer

    Nov 17 2011: That's right when he says that nowadays kids are more resourceful than their teachers, with the aid of technology. My question is in that sense what does school teach them?

  • A comment on Talk: Aparna Rao: High-tech art (with a sense of humor)

    Nov 12 2011: Interesting! Is it a combition of technology and art? Then, it has already been done; but what about the humorous approach? Whenever I appreciate a art of work, I want to taste some flavor of the personality of an artist; that is the thing actually we can learn. Theses works seem very flavor.

    A comment on Talk: Maya Beiser(s) and her cello(s)

    Jun 24 2011: One of the categorical purposes of art is how to express what an artist keeps in mind about her/his life and its workings in the world no one correctly knows about. In this sense, I think what she does with music jointed by the latest multimedia is her own interpretation of herself in the world. In order to appreciate someone else's life, the most important thing for me is to take generosity to some degree.

  • A comment on Talk: Inge Missmahl brings peace to the minds of Afghanistan

    Apr 15 2011: Since the introduction of psychology, especially analytic psychology by C. G. Jung, we can not live without it, for it already firmly led us to a new arena where we can see the world very differently as compared with the past. With it in mind, she made a great progress in the vortext of the unending war in a country.

    A reply on Talk: Ellen Gustafson: Obesity + Hunger = 1 global food issue

    Aug 4 2010: Well, it sounds like as if A should be connected to B. But reality goes on in a different way.
