꿈을 향해 on my way

Three years ago, when I was an intern at Bright Power, I was desperate for a full-time job. As a side project, I tried supporting a marketing campaign by creating a list of buildings with the worst Local Law 97 fines. It didn’t go well, but I learned a lot about NYC Open Data and energy regulations along the way. Now, I’m teaching myself web development in my spare time. I believe the best way t..

흑백요리사가 유행이다. 그 중 한국내 유일 3스타 미슐랭 셰프 안성재 셰프가 화제다. 24살 요리학교를 입학해서 41살 3스타 미슐랭 셰프가 되기 까지, 그는 묵직하게 한 길만을 걸어왔고 마침내 그 정점을 찍었다. 모수가 미슐랭 3스타가 됬다는 뉴스를 듣고 직원들에게 그 소식을 전해줄 때, 그가 목이 메어 말을 마무리하지 못하고 눈물을 흘리는 장면이 있는데, 그걸 보면서 정말 이상하게 나도 눈물이 흘렀다.    큰 장작을 불 태우기 위해서는, 작은 장작을 계속 태워 뜨거운 숯을 쌓아야 한다. 미슐랭 3스타라는 큰 장작을 태우기 위해서, 안성재는 무보수로 시작한 우라사와부터 프렌치 런드리, 베누, 아지자, 망할 뻔한 샌프란시스코 모수까지 얼마나 힘든 순간들이 많았겠는가. 요리만 생각하고 어떻게 하면 더 맛..

지식 생산국인 미국에서 생산된 결과를 습득하기 보다는 지식이 생산되는 과정을 배워야 한다. 지식은 모험과 도전의 결과다. 지식 생산에는 반드시 모험과 도전이라는 비밀스런 활동이 필수적이다. ‘생산된 결과’ 는 보이고 들린다. 반면, ‘생산 과정’ 은 비밀스러운 모험과 도전의 활동이다. 비밀스러운 모험과 도전의 활동을 찾아내고 직접 옆에서 보고 배워야 한다. 인재들이 모이는 도시에 살아야 하는 이유다.

They teach you to be gratefulBut things can be blurry when sun is shiningThings can be depressing under perfect California weather Bright sunshine sheds lights on your shadowed heartsSpotlights on your faded mindUndecided mind makes loud noises It’s okay. It’s alrightWatch your-inner-self Just heed the glitter of that darknessThat acknowledgement will heal yourself eventually - Sunday night at ..

Strava made me run 15 miles on Sunday night at 8:45PM just to keep my weekly mileage in motion. If there was no graph/ dashboard in Strava, I certainly would not run that long distance. It was because I didn’t want to let my graph go downwards but keep upwards. Since it’s socially shared, it matters more.When simple & accurate measurement shared with people, it’s a powerful motivation.What if we..

Why not outsourcing development? I was thinking about hiring a developer while building the mvp for inbuilding. Why not “leveraging” my weakness? That sounds fair, but if you think about the restaurant business, if you don’t know anything about cuisine, how can you distinguish good chief from bad one? Are you going to keep hiring temporary chief? No, you either find a partner who can work togeth..

I ran with pace group (7:28/mile) and dropped them at 7 mile. At mile 8, I saw one of the nike moonshot training partner (Matt) who was in the group I left behind in the previous long run. I wanted to show him that I’m better than that. The competitiveness energy drove me. Then crisis came. I felt like the weak mind tried to close the door. The strong mind hold the door using his whole body and ..

Sucess can make you satisfied but it won't necessarilry make you happy. Satisfaction comes from achievements. Happeiness comes from internal mind, not from externals. Seek for happiness and satisfaction, however, remember to watch out for complacency because it's one step-away from the both. - Jaeseong Park, random thoughts while reading "Never Finished" by David Goggins.

I'm never going to be popular. I'm never going to be accepted. I'm already a loser here. I'm not going to get what all the other people have. I've just got to be happy being me. I'll not seek for social approval and I'll do my own thing. That's how I'll be separated from other average people and I believe that it will lead me to the successful path.

Multiplayer game has winners and losers. Whereas RPG game it doesn't since it is a single player game. Let's live like playing RPG games. With my own pace. Enjoy fully.
