What inspires your LIFE?

What Inspires your LIFE?

During my trip in Norway, in July, 2013, I met this young French guy. 

He was in his late 20s, but surprisingly he had lived in almost every single part of the world including his three-year life in Antarctica (South Pole). I could not help but asking this question to him. 

"So what do you do in your life?"
 "I am a plumber," he answered me back.
 "PLUMBER?" I asked him.

 "Yes, I am one of the best plumbers in the world. That is why I could work at the France Science Research Center of Antartica as a plumber for three years. It was such an amazing experience. I am so happy about what I am doing."

I have no idea why plumber is necessary for the research center (if there is anyone who knows about it i hope someone can tell me) but whatever, the story of this guy was amazing and he was truly passionate about what he was doing.  Since we were young, we have heard so many times that "Being a best what you can do and you can be happy." However, we always face with the reality. I met a lot of people who says, "I am so confused about what I want to choose. To do what I want to do, i cannot make enough money as I wish. I am not sure what I want to do. "

People say, "Follow your heart" but it is not easy to what you heard and believe.

When I met this French guy and heard his amazing life story i seriously thought, "There is nothing wrong that if you are the best in what you are doing, you can feel happiness." I know that it can sound such an extreme story, but whatever, we need to follow our heart. That is what I want to say.

Here I am back again.

Yes, 21-year old South Korean girl is now back to her home country. I am writing this in my hometown Busan by sipping a hot lemon tea next to my personal computer. When your brother is glimpsing what you are doing, or when your mom is saying "Whatever, I go to bed. Good night." you truly feel that you are back to your home.
Yes. I am literally back to my hometown, 고향(Go-Hyang) what we call in Korean.

My life in Paris was like a poem.
Everyday, I was a poet who scribble down my feelings on the white paper endlessly.
I spent my exchange student life in Paris from Jan.15 2013 to Dec.21 2013 exactly.
From Dec.21 2013 I started my journey around Europe. I took Trans-Siberian train to come back to Korea. I got arrived in Vladivostok with train and I arrived in Busan in Feb.07 2014.

I was there to feel endless art works and music and express myself. I was there to meet new people and travel around the world. I was there to fall in love with someone. I was there to try something what I had not tried in my life. I was there to break my previous viewpoint. In the sense, there is no regret about what I had experienced in my life for the past one year.

During my life back in Europe, I got a lot of message or letters from numerous People. Among them, there were my friends of course, but also at the same time, there were quite a lot of people whom i did not meet before. There were quite a lot of people who told me that they just one day looked through my facebook or read my writings and  decided to write a message to me.

Including my friends, a lot of people asked me the same question.

"What Inspires your LIFE?" 

This is the answer.

The thing which inspire my life is YOU.

Since I was young, i have read newspapers every morning. Today morning? Of course without exception. As you might know, on the newspaper section, you usually find one of the most extreme stories that you can hear from. Whenever I read those articles ranging from murder to Great Ban Ki Moon, who is now the secretary general of United Nations, I thought if i should be on a newspaper (just in case) i do not want to be there for the bad and shameful stuffs rather i want to be someone who can be a positive energy and inspiration to others.

That is all. Simple but a clear answer. If I can lead my life as I want, I want to live by helping others, understanding each other, giving positive energy and someone who can be inspiration to others. I hope the world where people can live with their big smile on their face, by doing what they want. That is the  motto of my life. 

My Inspiration is You, Dear.
You Inspire my life every time and at the same time I want to inspire you.
So let's live day by day with our positive dream, hope, energy and smile.
