What makes up 100% in life?

     In a competitive society nowadays, everyone tries to put out 100% in results, grades, etc. But what really makes up 100% in life? 

     Let me tell you an interesting fact that the language also shapes our lives. When you equate the alphabet with numbers: 

A:1 B:2 C:3 D:4 E:5 F:6 G:7 H:8 I:9 J:10 K:11 L:12 M:13 N:14 O:15 P:16 Q:17 R:18 S:19 T:20 U:21 V:22 W:23 X:24 Y:25 Z:26

     The arithmetic by alphabets might give you an answer. So the words below are the ones that people think the important things to make our life 100%

Leadership: L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P

12+5+1+4+5+18+19+8+9+16=97% 

Knowledge: K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96%

Love: L+O+V+E

12+15+22+5=54%

Luck: L+U+C+K

12+21+3+11=47%

Money: M+O+N+E+Y

13+15+14+5+25=72%

     Unfortunately, none of the words above can make 100%. It doesn't mean that it is not necessary, but the most important thing is the ATTITUDE! 

Attitude: A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E

        1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100%

     Our attitude towards every situation makes our life 100%! In order to change our attitudes, I think we need to change our minds, and to change our minds, we need to change our thoughts. If your thoughts are positive, your behavior becomes positive. So I suggest you to think positively and change the attitude little by little.

Hello and smile!

     In modern life, we meet and communicate with many people that we see. Also by the internet, we talk to people who we don’t know, or read articles what others write. Like this, the scale of the conversation net is spreading out massively. In this kind of society, we face to personal problems like, individualism or egoism. I am the king and boss of my life, and only what matters is me. Only the person that I care is the ones only that I know, or even this doesn’t happen at all. By these problems, the society is becoming more barren. A place with no love is the society we live. Because this is the background of every human being these days, crime comes occur.
     If we know the problem, we can try to solve it. Recognizing and acting is the key to change. Say hello and welcome others near you. If you make a smile, there is no one in the world that will not like it. A smile makes the other person to smile back. But why we are not doing it? I cannot live a life only for others, but we can try to help and make a better world around us. Do what others hope to do to you. If I change and be the light for others, soon the dark will light up soon.

How to make a good conversation

      In Korea, there is an idiom, “a soft answer turns away wrath, or good words are good cheap.” It means that you get paid off debt by a soft talk. It is totally agreeable especially our communication range got broader from our daily social life to SNS; we communicate with TOO many people which mean you are communicating with more people who get on your nerves! How will you handle their offensive talk? You might think ‘what’s the big deal?’ but a lot of Korean celebrities who killed themselves because of malicious comments on the internet. Even though you might not notice, the effects of the words are huge. 

So, how do I handle them? Fight back? But did it really work out when you fought back? No, not really. Sam Horn, the author of ‘Tongue Fu,’ tells us that we have three choices in this case: 

1. Change the opponents

2. Change the situation

3. Change YOURSELF 

     She says that the first choice is impossible and the second choice is ineffective. The last choice is suitable, but it takes challenge. However, if others cannot change, YOU are the one who have to be changed. William Blake said “be an informed innocence.” Don’t be naive, maintain the innocence but be wise. Talk softly in a respectable way first, but strongly appeal your situation or opinion, and try to ignore the offensive talks about you. Do not panic! Be strong.
