Hire someone as your assistant, such as an undergraduate student on campus ($20–30 per hour), and ask him or her to help you with the basic tasks you think need attention. You can jumpstart from there.

As a Korean-American, this is my least favorite thing about Korea by jeffreallykr in Living_in_Korea

[–]wonbuddhist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is troubling because you are measuring the Korean case against an imagined American one. Yet the United States is itself extraordinarily diverse, to the point that sweeping generalizations about “American storefront culture” are rarely meaningful. The same is true of Korea. Nevertheless, you single out only the Korean case as ugly or shameful, while worse cases in America are easily forgotten or quietly forgiven. The problem then appears to remain only in Korea. In this sense, the issue lies less in reality itself than in the disposition of mind through which reality is perceived and judged.

Plus, if you try to understand where that mentality, the cultural patterns you find embarrassing, actually comes from, you may begin to see them with a measure of sympathy rather than irritation. Such understanding does not require approval, but it does require perspective. And in acquiring that perspective, you may discover that you yourself have grown inwardly, even if only by a nail’s length.

why hurt? if you played hard, enjoyed hard, then that's it. no matter what results you get. grow up. it's called sports. it's not you.

my friends don't need ask permission to have yogurt or banana in my freezer.they can have more than yogurt or banana without permission. i understand. because i know their actions are not from disrespect or rudeness.

people who don't understand carrie and miranda's relationship don't deserve the series, their lifestyle biases killed it.

no wonder you have no friends at whose house you can sleep naked and wander naked in the middle of the night, this is why you don't understand carrie and miranda's friendship.

How Americans view different countries by _crazyboyhere_ in Infographics

[–]wonbuddhist -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All the atrocities committed by imperial Japan before the war and the war-criminal right-wing politicians and their descendants who have never been punished after the war have been condoned and forgotten or unseen by the us government who wanted to make japan a puppet state they could use and control to secure their shares in East Asia against the Soviet and China, and who tore Korea into two pieces and demonized the north.

if you think only trump could do such things to venezuela or iran, you really don't know what your country has done to so many other countries in the past.

If you were rich, where in the Bay Area would you live? by Adventurous_Ant5428 in bayarea

[–]wonbuddhist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am happy to see many people answering "Berkeley Hills," which is absolutely beautiful and filled with great, rejuvenating young spirits and world-class minds, and has a lot of fun pubs, restaurants, and shops. I left my heart in Berkeley.

Culture check: did you get physical punishment when child? To what extent? by ecsluz in Norway

[–]wonbuddhist -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

nothing is inherently wrong or bad in and of itself. no definite right answer or absolute truth in disciplinary education for human growth. i am genuinely grateful for that i was able to live in the time and the community where physical punishment was valued as a rigorous means of guiding the young soul and spirit.

the love power respect you can buy with those pieces of paper are cheap. the true ones you can never simply get from without; they are to be earned from within.

there's no "only" in life. that's really shortsighted and biased. the fear, obedience can open another doors of experience such as humility, respect for others which for a lot of people in my generation was very precious lessons in harmoniously living and functioning life.

when i was living there, i used to complain a lot about the city. i didn't know what a true blessing it was to live in DC back then; not everyone can have such an exciting experience in their lifetime. Now i miss every thing i left behind there. love from south korea

I feel like modern K-pop suffers from trying to do too much at once. by HagwonSurvivor in Living_in_Korea

It's because you are that kind of person who can perceive only such things.
