LunA's Success Story

These day, I am very busy with all the school works and stuffs. However, if I finish all the work and have some time left, I really feel lonely. I am kind of an introverted person, so I don't have many people around me. I just have few best friends and some people to contact.

Instead of going to a party or doing things that involve lots of people, I more like to do stuffs that only involves few people. This is why I don't know many people and sometimes if I am in my room by myself and have nothing to do, I really feel lonely and want to do something that makes me happy.

What do you do when you feel lonely? Listening to music or watching movies is not a solution to this problem. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't. I really like some of your opinions.

When I was starting this blog I was planning to write posts on my blog everyday. However, after I started second semester, I have nothing special happening while attending school and I am just getting tons of projects and homeworks. Therefore, I decided to update my blog every 2 days, if I have something to say, I will write something, but if not, I will just write something every 2 days. I guess this will make me write 4 posts everyweek.

Well... It is very weird. During the summer vacation, many interesting things happend to me and like I was thinking various things, which I was planning to write on my Personal Thoughs section. But, after I start going to school, I became busy and everything in my head was gone. It is filled with Calculus, Physics and Chemistry and probably those things I wanted to share was erased in order to make some available space in my brain.

I think by the time second semester finishes, I will be doing various stuffs and I will update my blog everyday. This is just a personal blog, so I don't really care about the quality of the blog. I just want to share what I felt and what I experienced everyday. But I also don't want to post some rubbish to update my blog everyday. This is the reason why I am doing this.

Today, I am going to talk about myself a bit. Probably everyone will have a dream or a favorite motto. Like everyone else, I do have a dream and a motto. I am going to introduce my motto first.

My motto is...

I am the best there is, I was the best there was and I will the best there ever will be.

When you first read it, you might think I have too much pride or I am self-satisfied, but I am not. My favorite motto is this, because I really admire people who are considered the best right now in certain field. I want to be like those people in the future and everytime I remind myself of this motto, I think I can do it and work harder and harder.

If you don't have a motto yet, you should have one. It will really make your life different.

In this world, do you think there is anyone who could be trusted? You might be able to trust some people but can you trust them 100%? If you have a person who you can trust 100%, you are very lucky and you should not lose him/her.

These days, I have been scammed from several people (even from who I thought can be trusted), that I am very angry, and think that no one can be trusted when it comes to a matter of money. Since I deal with many people online, even though I do get scam, there isn't really way to find that person or do something about it.

What I am trying to say is, don't trust people online, and you also should not trust people 100% even though you know that person so well. I believe those useless people who takes money from others will be punished. I don't know how and when, but they will be punished.

Recently, I have started reading a book on time management. Everyone knows the importance of time management (I hope so), but there are not many people who can manage their time well. I also think I am wasting a lot of time these days playing computer game (I hope I will play computer game less once the semester begins).
 
In my opinion, if I was able to manage my time well and was able to do what I plan everyday, I will be already successful. I could have run so many blogs and so many websites and do well in school subjects and other things, that I don't have to worry anything. However, I did not. I planned to do things but I do not finish it on time or do it on the last minute.

The reason why people think they are busy is because they waster their time. When people just focus on things they need to complete, you will obviously get things done quicker then you think and have plenty of time to do other work. I surely think that no one is so busy that they have to work 24/7 without doing anything else.

After reading this, I recommend you to think about how you are managing your time right now. You might think you are doing well, but you will surely have some time being wasted. If you can use that time effectively, you will be successful in the future.

Do you think having lots of money and being rich will lead to your happiness? I don't think money is the only factor for your happiness, but it is definitely a thing that influences you a lot. Living in Korea, you can't really earn much money. If your annual income is higher than $100,000, you earn more money than 90% of the people in Korea.

In my opinion, graduating one of the best universities in Korea and entering one of the best companies like Samsung, LG,  Hyundai etc, does not really help you earn a lot of money. Most of the people start with a salary of less than $2,000 a month. Studying like hell and working like hell for 15-20 years only brings you that much money when you start actually earning money. I don't think I can live a happy life by getting that much money for the time I spent on studying.

This is why I am trying to earn money online. To live a better life and to live more joyful life. I sometimes think, if I had just enough money to live my life, I will withdraw from the university and seek for a better life. I currently think, money can bring happiness to me. How about you?

You must drink alcohol in Korea in order to know each other better and to not get neglected from society. This is what most of the people in Korea thinks. I don't like it. According to the statistics, people in Korea drink 123 bottle of Soju, 372 bottle of beer and 46.5 bottle of liquor. Really a lot isn't it? People say drinking alcohol relieves their stress from work, they can enjoy that moment and it is a way to know people easily.

Society makes people to drink when they enter university. When students first enter university and go through orientation and membership trainings, in most of the case, you must drink alcohol. It is getting better but still you can say 99% of the school seniors make us to drink and make us drunk. Why do we have to drink alcohol? I am not saying that alcohol is a bad thing (although it is bad for your health), but still if someone does not want to drink it, why force us to drink?

When people start drinking they go to a bar, drink alcohol come out, go to another bar and start drinking and people at least 3-4 bars before they go back to their home. Maybe people don't force me to drink alcohol in the bar, but I don't want to follow people to 3-4 bars and just sit their watching people drinking and they don't let me go until they go.

I like the fact that in other countries (I don't know about it for sure but according to what I read and heard), they just enjoy drinking, don't force people to drink, don't drink until they get drunk etc (in normal cases). I avoid drinking even with my best friends, because I will anyways going to drink with school seniors or colleague at work. I just hate how people drink in Korea.

What do you think about being late on an appointment. Maybe you can be late due to traffic or trouble finding the place. However, I believe if you are going to be late, you have to tell other person  who you are going to meet that you are going to be late on an appointment due to blah blah blah...

However, Koreans don't. When I make an appointment almost all of them are late for no reason. What makes me more angry is that, when I call them where they are, they say they are coming and it takes a while until they arrive. They don't apologize, they think it's nothing and it is okay to be late.

This is one of the reasons I don't like Korea. To be more specific, I have to say this is one of the reasons why I hate Korean people. Most of the time I arrive 10 minutes early and my friend arrive 10-20 minute late. I have to wait more than 20 minutes to meet people. I hate that.

Being late is not a big problem, you can be late, but can't people at least tell me they are being late before being late?

Right now I am 18 years old. I lived in Korea for nearly 9 years and in foreign countries for 9 years. I lived half of my life outside Korea. Because I had experiences living abroad, I sometimes compare the things I liked about Korea with other countries and things I did not like about here and there.

Well, for me I have more bad feelings about Korea. It does not mean I hate my country, but the people I met and things I experienced in Korea, made me want to leave this country. This is one of the main reasons I am trying to study abroad after graduating university in Korea.

I will introduce you one by one about the things I don't like about Korea. When I say the things I don't like about Korea and hope to see changes, some people thinks it is not a problem and just say you have to accept it if you are a Korean. Whatever... I still hate it and because of this, I want to leave Korea.

This just not mean Korea is a bad place to visit and to live in. Since I am a Korean I really love staying in Korea than living in any other countries in the world. I am going to introduce great things about my country.

If you are curious about anything in Korea, please leave a comment, I will gladly answer all of your questions and I hope people can throw out their prejudice on Korea.
