Nepotism
Nepotism
Jason Lim's early January opinion piece about nepotism prompted me to say a little bit more about possible entanglements and ethical dilemmas of the activity. Furthermore, his article reminded me of what someone had said long ago: “Aptitude tests show that you will succeed in a business where your father is boss.”

As the world drowns in noise
As the world drowns in noise
These days I have been reading a verse from the Book of Matthew (7:7) again and again over several weeks, because these words struck me very much and I wanted to keep them in mind in my daily routine.

On happiness

Humility in the Bible
Humility in the Bible
Many prophets appeal to us to seek the Lord. Especially in this time of trials, what does it mean to seek the Lord? Prophet Zephaniah says: “Seek the Lord, all you humble … Seek justice, seek humility.” (Zephaniah 2:3).

Mobility rights?
I love Seoul's subway. It never fails to bring me to my destination on time. This belief had been firm, until an incident where a specific train did not stop, at certain subway stations, a few days ago.

Beneath the surface of civilization
Beneath the surface of civilization
As the sun rose on a Monday morning over Myeong-dong, downtown Seoul, the eye was struck with horror. A whole alley in the popular shopping district was covered with meter-high rubble and scattered pieces of ruined streetside eateries and stores. Something beyond vandalism appeared to have occurred.

New Year Resolution at 50?
New Year Resolution at 50?
By Kim Hyun-miCultural or generational, I'm slightly annoyed when I have to repeat the New Year's greeting in less than a month as I'm more used to the New Year starting on Jan. 1, as per the solar calendar, and get myself in the mood to start fresh, reload my motivation and recharge my optimism. Around this time, I become familiar with the new number when I write the date, p...
