Many people dream a life of financial success or more simply said, they dream of being rich. They really care about having lots of money and having the financial means to do what they want in their life. Unfortunately, for many that dream will be an utopia. Many blame it to their low salary or having no luck in life to achieve that goal. The truth is far from that. Then how comes that some people who were in the same circumstances were able to achieve that dream? The answer is simple. They are good in saving money and they live below their means.

                  That's why knowing how to save money and living belong one's means makes a big difference in the road to financial success. For example those who learned during childhood how to save money and its importance, will keep having that habit when they become an adult. They realize that saving money is not only important to have some extra cash for the bad times, but also that it can be used to make their fortune grow. They can use a part of their savings to invest when an investment opportunity rises up. Therefore saving money will not only lead to financial certainty, but also to financial success by using the saved money to gain more wealth.

                  The second requirement to live below one's means is also important to make one's dream to financial success to come true. However, many people do the opposite and live well above their means. They spend more money than they earn. As a result, they have to apply for a loan to pay off their debt. After that they have to apply another loan to pay off their first loan and then a third loan to pay off their second loan and so on. Like this people become slaves of their own debt and they have to keep working their whole life to pay off their loans. This will cause for people to fail in their finances and never achieve financial success. The best way to avoid this is living below one's means and be careful about spending money. That's why living below one's means is another important factor to financial success.

                  Knowing how to save money and living below one's means are two causes that will help to lead to success in finances. Saving money will lead to financial certainty and freedom to invest and gain some extra wealth. Living below one's means however will make sure that people don't spend too much money. Therefore they won't make unnecessary debts that will only lead to failure in making their dream come true.

A friend who always supports me, a teacher who always gives me valuable tips in life, a colleague who is very funny to work with…. There are all examples of the precious relationships in life. Everybody wants to live the life with the successful human relationships. But they often overlook some simple facts to succeed in human relationship. To succeed in human relationship and have wonderful friends, there are two major things to remember.

The first thing to remember is the trust. The trust is the most important thing in relationships. To be sincerely close with someone, you must gain the trust from him. Once you gain the trust, more than half is done. He will share everything with you, depending much on you. If he is someone who is related in your work thing, he will give you every important work. To gain the trust, you should also show him how much you trust him. You should show him that you think him as a trustworthy, sincere person. And also, you should always listen to him.

 And the second thing you should remember is the respect. The respect is also very important thing. Everyone wants to feel that he/she is respected by someone. Think in his shoes, think what you've said, and think about every little behavior you did every moment. Think just once more before you say something. Whatever you said or behaved, it should be the respectful act. The closer you get to someone, you should be more considerate.

 Those two things are simple, but quite hard to remember and put into action. Even I know that fact. But if you do those two things, I am sure that you could have successful relationships.

  Have you ever played Starcraft or Warcraft? Or certain types of games like that? Most of the days, so many teens are having fun in playing online games.

To success on the online strategy game, there is certain types of being success.. It have total two type and you just need only these to win at game.

  The first part is to know about the system of the game. You have to remember that however the game is made by system, so like the other system, if you put good input, there comes good output. So what is the good input? It is the resources. The more you get the resource, the more you can make your unit. However the others are playing good, the many units can cover everything.

Survive in a Korea Karaoke

 

             A small dark room, glamorous lights, loud music, a big screen and two microphones… What do they remind you of? The answer is a karaoke where people sing songs for entertainment. In Korea, many businessmen like to go to karaoke with their colleagues after work; because they think it is very significant to spend a lot of time with co-workers and build a close relationship. Also, if you brighten up the mood in karaoke, you may impress your boss and get a chance of promotion. There are several ways to have a big success in karaoke.

             Selecting proper songs is most important. Some exhilarating songs are suitable for this situation, such as dance music. These kinds of songs can make people move up and down. If you choose some quiet songs, your co-workers will talk with a person sitting next to them, rather than listen to your song. In addition, you should consider the age of people when you select songs. It does not make sense to sing old pop songs when you are with young junior staffs. On the contrary to this, your superiors may not know recent songs, so you better sing songs which are as old and popular as most people in Korea know.

             Another way to be successful in livening up the atmosphere is that you should be confident. It does not matter if you are good at singing or not. In order to make people enthusiastic and responsive to you, you have to be confident first. Even if you make mistakes and look somewhat crazy at that time, the next day no one can remember what you did clearly. People only remember that you are an appealing person to be with. In order to have confidence, it is also helpful to make a list of songs that you can sing well and practice them.

             You do not need to worry about having dinner with your colleagues if you know the secret of success for karaoke nights, including selecting proper songs and being confident. No one can deny that good relationship between co-workers is as important as great ability to work in Korea society. Positive attitudes in karaoke can help you make a good impression on people who you work with.

Have you ever eaten a maejakwa? What about some cookies? A maejakwa is one of traditional Korean sweets. Starting from making dough, cooking a maejakwa requires rolling the dough thin, shaping it into the unique appearance, and frying it. Then how can we make a cookie? It is also made from dough, but it seems that not only its recipe but the taste of it is totally different from that of maejakwa. However, we can easily find that they all often make people satisfied when people are not hungry but need something to nibble on. Now, let me give you these two paintings, Impression: Sunrise and La rencontre ou "Bonjour Monsieur Courbet."(The rest will be expressed as Sunrise and La rencontre), which look so different but have something quite similar with each other. As you can see with the comparison of maejakwa and cookie, these two different paintings have something very important in common.

 

 

 

 

 If you try to observe these paintings closely, you will soon realize that they are very different in the way of making a brush stroke, using colors, describing the details. While La rencontre is concentrating on people who bumped into each other, Sunrise is focusing on a landscape, the beautiful scene of sunrise. In this point, Sunrise tried to give the viewers the chance to feel that they are actually looking at the sunrise when they see the painting. If we look closely at Sunrise in a very short distance with it, there would be just some brush strokes. When we see the painting in farther distance like we can do right now, however, we can feel sure that he tried to give us the image, impression of sunrise. In contrast, if we do the same thing on La rencontre, we would find the men's shoes, collars, hats or maybe right ear of the dog. Courbet, who drew the painting, wanted to show the viewers that how he thought about an artist. The person right in front him is generally accepted as his patron, Altred Bruyas. The person is with two partners who would protect him in emergency, a servant on the right side of him and a dog on the other. Compared to this, Courbet in the painting doesn't seem to care about his condition of life. He just seems to be proud of himself, which is hard to find in the rich person standing right before him. In this painting, we can see what the important principle that Courbet had on drawing was: Courbet painted according to his own standards, not for King, Pope, or his patron like people commonly did in his age.

Now, leaving from what we talked before and let's try to focus on what Sunrise and La rencontre have done for us, like we did on a maejakwa and a cookie. They reliezed in different times of art, but the reactions were the same. People shoked on these two paintings because they both tried something new in the times. Before La rencontre, artists thought that an art is should be all about meaningful religious or historical events like the Last Supper, the Birth of Venus. Compared to them, what Courbet described on his canvas was just a thing which can happen in everyday life. Similar to this, Monet, the artist who drew Sunrise, experienced the same reactions of his painting because he drew the impression of sunrise without using the color black, which seemed incredible to the people of the day. Most people didn't want to believe it so some of them even made sarcastic remarks at him and his painting, Sunrise.  

Sunrise and La rencontre are totally different paintings except they both made remarkable changes in the history of art. Behind them there are the braveness of the painters who did not afraid of what people at that time might think about their painting.

 There are two special celebrations in Korea that I hate. Those are the Valentine's Day and the White Day. On those days, Koreans exchange chocolates and candies respectively. Why I hate those? Because those days are the days for the couples! The true pleasure that we can feel on the Valentine's Day or the White Day, I think, comes from something that we received from the boyfriend or girlfriend. I don't have a boyfriend who would give me candy, so I can't feel true pleasure, and that's the reason why I hate two special celebrations. These two celebrations I hate have a lot of similarities like this and also, differences. I would like to tell you about those.

 Above all, the Valentine's Day and the White Day are the days we can show our sense of love, friendship, respect by give someone chocolates and candies. Sometimes children give to parents, students give to teachers, but usually in Korea, young couples exchange those things. Valentine's Day and White Day are also on the 14^th of the month. Valentine's Day is February 14^th, and White Day is March 14^th.  

 Valentine's Day and White Day have many differences as well. I heard that it is a little bit different from that of Korea, but there is Valentine's Day in other western countries as well. In contrast, there is no White Day in western countries. White Day is originated from the Japanese baking company's events on March 14th. It became famous in Japan, and it came to countries such as Korea and China. And White Day exists only in some Asian countries.

   I have disliked those two days until now, but I really want to like those days. I hope I can make a boyfriend somehow by the next Valentine's Day and enjoy that day.

200601825 Hyesu Ahn comparison essay

200601825 Hyeseu Ahn   Two people comparison                There is a saying "Birds of a feather flock together". Bur for me sometimes it seems to be wrong. I have some best friends and Ho-seung and John are two of my best friends. They are very similar but sometimes they seem to be different each other.              As two of my best friends, they seem to very similar. First, they do their best in their areas. Ho-seung is a baduk player. He always studies baduk hard and he wins a lot of competitions and tournaments. He is very professional. John is a university student. He has gotten high grades and scholrship. He always studies hard. Second, they are masculine. The way they act and talk is extremely tough. And also they like sports both playing and watching.              Thus they are similar, but they are sometimes different. First, Ho-seung likes to brag. Whenever he wins the competitions he brags himeself and what he has done. On the other hand, John is very humble. He never brag himself and what he has done. Instead, he just says that it's lucky. Second, unlike john, Ho-seung knows many people. Ho-seung is a so called wide foot. He knows a lot of people and has a good relationship with his acquaintance. On the other hand, John doesn't know many people. He only knows few people.             Thus Ho-seung and John are similar but sometimes they seem to be different. Regardless how they are different, both are my true friends and they are true friends each other. They are complementary.
