What if I could write my destiny? I could not travel back in time to change what happened, but I could write about how I remember it and interpret my memory from experience. I could not change what is happening now, but I can write my current thoughts down to release my stress as meditation and therapy for my mental health. I could not predict what will happen, but I could write about the future that I would like to see and be specific about the goals and dreams that I want to achieve.

It makes sense to start my life story with my mum. Without her, I would not exist in this world writing this essay. I have no idea what happened in the world before I was born. According to an interview with my mum, she told me that I was born as an accident, not a plan. It is probably true that I was an only child, and my mum’s sisters did not have children today. There was an option of abortion, but my mum somehow decided not to kill me as it was a life, which is something like a…

What is your greatest fear? Some people are afraid of dogs, some people are scared of spiders, but we are fearful of public speaking for most people. We are constantly worried about being judged by others and being laughed at by others. However, I am taking a class to learn public speaking because I understand the benefit of it.

What I do is use a hybrid of initiating and supportive communication styles.

It was a couple of months ago. A new colleague joined the company on the first day. His name is KK. Before he was onboarded, we only met online via zoom call during the…

Imagine you live in North Korea, would you be sceptical about what you see every day? Is the Kim family regime the greatest god in the world? Is South Korea a terrible place because of evil America? Shall people be grateful for this dictatorship?

Today I took the first dose of vaccination. Think about it for a second and appreciate how amazing it is for teamwork behind the scene to make this happens.

In reality, that is not how science works, as it requires teamwork to solve the complex challenge we see in the world today. It takes many years of accumulation of knowledge with many geniuses in chemistry…

If you ever walk a dog, you would be amazed by the curiosity the puppy has. A short fifteen minutes walk would take one hour, because the dog would get interested in every single tree along the way, stayed and smell every area and even try to taste every leaves on the road.
