Pride is about making your dream com true

Favorite Quotes:

Donghae: This is nothing compared to the help you gave me. Let me know anytime I can be of help.

Mr. Lee: You don’t look so well. What’s wrong? Is work not going week in the hotel kitchen? You can think of me as your father until you find your own. I may not be the best provider, but I can at least be a good listener.

Donghae: I don’t think I belong in the place I'm working at… I don’t know if the choice I made was the right one. It’s really hurt my pride.

Mr.Lee:

Do you know what was the hardest thing when I first started selling cabbages? When I had to run into people I know. I used to have over 100 people working for me, and they all called me boss. And now I’m in this tiny truck delivering cabbages all day. That hurt my pride, it was really embarrassing having to do this, but that

embarrassment soon fades. I have a goal, I’m going to build my [...] factory again, so I can get my business back. Now I see this truck as a son. I'm so fond of it. You talk of pride, but real pride is about making your dreams come true."

Donghae: Thank you. That is valuable advice… I have to practice my recipes. I should go to the kitchen...

Seth Godin's Blog: Speakerphone voice

When the speakerphone is on in the conference room, do you talk differently? by Seth Goldin It's pretty common. We breathe from a different spot, hold our chest differently, constrict our throats and generally try to shout our words across the ocean. The people listening on the speaker are used to it. The people in the room with you, less so. Human beings don't have a long cultural history with microphones. We don't instinctively understand that they actually work. So we shout instead. And shouting changes how we're believed, trusted and ultimately heard. Learning to use a microphone is a great skill. When you speak normally, it turns out that the microphone has plenty of volts, watts and amps on hand to move your voice all the way to Latvia if you want it to. And then your words will actually be heard. Resource: Godlin, Seth. "Speakerphone Voice. " Sethgodin Typepad Last Modified: Nov 11 2017. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2017/...

I longed to frequent fasting... yet my health condition won't allow me to do it. I longed for night devotion "Qiya...

Intelligence V.S Wisdom

Photo by Priscilla Du Preez on Unsplash These are profound distinctions between intelligence and wisdom! (but both are needed! 😉) 1. Intelligence leads to arguments. Wisdom leads to settlements. 2. Intelligence is power of will. Wisdom is power OVER will. 3. Intelligence is heat, it burns. Wisdom is warmth, it comforts. 4. Intelligence is pursuit of knowledge, it tires the seeker. Wisdom is pursuit of truth, it inspires the seeker. 5. Intelligence is holding on. Wisdom is letting go. 6. Intelligence leads you. Wisdom guides you. 7. An intelligent man thinks he knows everything. A wise man knows that there is still something to learn. 8. An intelligent man always tries to prove his point. A wise man knows there really is no point. 9. An intelligent man freely gives unsolicited advice. A wise man ke...
