809 Rising Every TIme We Fall

I have been with a little but important problem for the last 2 weeks. At the end of January I suddenly I tore my right leg muscle, and couple of days later, I slipped and fell on ice. It hurt my lower back and I've been trying to cure it and reduce the pain. But this time I know I am the person who always look at the better side. It hurts, but never made me unhappy. I've been curious (a bit worried, naturally) about what's happening around the pain. I've been learning a lot about my body and how to treat it. It's all simple but I failed to follow the basic rule and listen to my body. There are lessons learned all around. Going forward, I'm going to note what I've learned, though it might sound a very common life hacks.

808 Artificial Intelligence

One of the best, most impressive machine characters in movies is K-2SO in Rogue One. Or Jarvis in Iron Man could be as artificial intelligence. It's fun to imagine what is the life with these nicest buddy. I sometimes imagine that it would be wonderful if they can follow, memorize, organize and record the data of my sudden inspiration or flash of ideas that is too fast for me to catch. Well I know that this is achievable with a pen and a note with me. But this is one of my most delightful imaginations of living with great artificial brains.

807 Hoodie

From The Sartorialist

In the utmost coldest weather in this winter, I realized the most important role of hood is to protect our head and face from cold. Hoodie is amazing tool because it can be also stylish, and can hide our face to create a separate world in which we feel somewhat really cozy, only by this very simple structure of a garment just covering our head. It is unlike cap or hat, it feels closer. It limits your scope of your sight and partially turn off the many sound surrounding you. It's odd to say but I feel I can better concentrate to myself when I'm wearing a hoodie. Wouldn't it be fun if companies start to allow us to wear hoodie in our business suits in our business hours?

806 Maison Hermes

Every time I see the statue on the roof top of Maison Hermes, in the morning or in the night, every time I feel uplifting excitement. There they have a statue of a pyrotechnist holding the iconic Hermes scarves in both hands, not a knight on the horse holding two flags as it is often seen. But it does look like flags to celebrate the light path and the person looks like a knight or messenger sent on a fast horse. It actually looks like telling something. It looks always inspiring and mysterious. I wonder the reason of the excitement when I see the flags flapping and whipping  the wind.

805 I Smile to Your Smile

Before even recognizing it I had decided to be a person who enjoy conversation with other people. Originally I was not outgoing nor sociable type of person. I was a bit shy with strangers. But somehow I learned in the course of growing up that I might be able to own other side. I stopped avoiding talking with new people and learned usually people (not always, though) are ready to be open if I am ready to be. The person may not be my best friend, not be a person whom I can share my view, perspective, vision, sense of value or sense of humor, but it makes sense if the communication is made. I smile when the person are having fun or telling funny stories that is totally amusing to the person, even if I find it not that funny. I smile not because the person or his/her story is funny enough, but because I'm happy about seeing the person is enjoying and having a good time. 

804 Hashtag

I think whatever I think of about digital technology might most likely be already realized in somewhere, but this is not about technology. This is about business tools. We must see a lot of, tons of emails every day. How about, all the emails in our business lives should be labeled with one or more hashtags before being sent to the recipient? It's nothing tricky. All we have to do is to put some hashtags on the email we are about to send, such as "project silver" tag and "not so urgent" or "you mush reply" or "it's a good news". etc. Your Gmail or Outlook will show the subject, date, sender, attached file, or size, but before everything the hashtags (in a very lean and smart way I'd like to imagine) so that you will be certainly able and comfortable to prioritize every single email you get. I'm sure it's not technology but protocol.

803 The Last Jedi

Usually I don't write about movie that I don't like much, but this time this is different. Star Wars The Last Jedi received so mixed reputation. As one of the true fans of the saga, I don't think I like it. The reason is simple, this is not the Star Wars universe we adored and believed. I would welcome bold challenges but destruction of the myth and legend in this movie is not justified in the way it is trying to push the boundaries. I will not strongly dislike this work, but feel strongly this is my official farewell to the new generation of Star Wars. This just doesn't feel like the universe of long time ago in the galaxy far far away, which was full of imagination, humor, spirit, sensitivity and creativity like these.
