The Power of Being

I think people spend most of their lives in search for meaning. They want to know who they are and what they are capable of. It doesn't matter what profession they go into or what they study but we are all striving for answers for our existence.

I went to Nampo-dong today to meet an old friend of mine. Just talking to him and sipping on some coffee made me feel better about my surroundings. I have a 2 day respite a full weekend off this month unlike any other time I have had in Korea thus far. The power of (human) beings is in constant evolution and making connections is so important. A new perspective can change the way how one feels about the current situation. Last weekend Dell, the new YBM director encouraged me he planted some seeds in my future. This weekend Mr. Kim helped me see life in a different aura. I am lucky that I have great people around here. I may dislike Korea and feel a lot of negativity due to my battles in the classroom, on the streets or just inside my head but having some time for speculation always clears my head.


We discussed many things. In particular we talked about Jobs. I mentioned a fact that I believe to be true in today's modern world. Its who you know that's important. In the job market I could get lucky and score big if I know someone who has a great place for me in their working environment. I want to take this  one step further and point out that while this may be true the Golden rule that I learned as a kid still applies...

Simply reaching out with Random Acts of Kindness is critical to our being. I think if we disregard the tangible results and rewards we can uncover the true oneness that burns in each of us. Regardless of where we come from.

I have been watching a lot of THE PRETENDER lately and in this show one man named Jarod is on a lifelong quest to find out who he is and in the process he is changing the world-one person at a time while at the same time seeing humanity for the first time. Its really a unique show because it should make us all realize life's potentials.

Life's a gift we should live it up.

here I am back in my humble abode room 305 thinking of signing off for the evening my posts are always a little bit incomplete but hopefully leaving you thinking I welcome your comments!
