Soft Tofu Soup; it wasn't that good....

I met a guy named Charvis. He suddenly sat next to me while I was eating.
He just needed a place to sit and eat. 
Anyway, I talked to him and opened up the conversation.
Charvis was originally from Jamaica. He moved to NewYork four years ago with his parents.
He was currently working in fitness center. I do not remember which exact work he was doing.
Charvis dropped out of his high school, and he told me to finish college education because he is regretting from dropping out of high school.
He was now saving money to perhaps attend college or not.... at least he told me that he is saving money.

Was I being a stupid trying to drop out of my college? I don't know.... when I see a person in front of me who does not have enough money to receive education embarrasses me.

What I am suppose to do Lord? How should I live?

Brooklyn Bridge

Ending the Day... 

I got sick afterward.... the air in NewYork is not good.

[Translation Practice] Political Science 319: The GATT/WTO Trading System 관세 및 무역에 관한 일반 협정 쳬계

Let's first look at how state power and structure of trade affects Trading System. Existence of Hegemonic leadership - rationale (reason /evidence) winners vs. losers [domestically] -> incur collective action and involuntary defection [cf. Putnam] 승자와 패배자의 세상 -> 단체행동과 본의 아닌 탈퇴를 막는다. Hegemon must bear the domestic, political, economic, and social costs  *tries to find some way to avoid involuntary defection -> creates institutions. 해지몬은 모든 국내 정치적인, 경제적인, 사회적인 값을 감당해야한다. 그래서 본의 아닌 탈당을 막기 위함이다. 이걸위해서 해지몬은 "기관"을 설립한다. GATT (General Agreements on Tariff and Trade) Framework (international institutions) - rationale (reason / evidence) (이유,증거) 관세 및 무역에 관한 일반 협정의 쳬계 winners vs. losers [domestically] <- supports collective action and impedes involuntary defection. [cf. Putnam] 국내의 승리자와 패배자들의 세상에서 단체 행동과 본의아닌 탈당을 방해하거나 지연시킨다. Reciprocal trade agreements (상호간의/호혜) - issue (주제,안건, 쟁점, 사안) linkage (결합, 연결) (i.e. bargaining (협상) by state actors) ...

[Book] Problem of Pain - C.S. Lewis

http://allaboutcslewis.com/2013/05/17/the-problem-of-pain/ I pick-up this book while I was working in HaeunDae. It took me a week to read this book, and I read in Korean. The context is complex. But there are few things that I remember about this book. One word to remember from this book is probably the last sentence of the book. It says pain helps to show heroic ability or reveal such quality. Some people may fall into deeper pain, but most of the people end up showing their heroic quality. Pain helps people to strengthen their spirit, but that is not to say that pain is good all the time. Romans 8:16 writes that the pain leads it to show God's glory, but we need to acknowledge some downfall that pain may lead into. Anyway, people learn how to give-up themselves and learn how to give their ego instead of having strong self ego. Lewis knew this. He also talks about how heaven is very important. Its existence determines whether Chri...

spring day

For Christ has been raised from the dead, he has won victory over death. Through his blood, we are forgiven. Let us give thanks to the Lord. I will give thanks to the Lord, because your presence brightens my day. I take this time to think about you. I know that you were with me the whole time. But as I try to remember my day, I did not find much interesting things. It was one of those routine days, but here is what I remember. I woke up today early to study for the business test. I spent about two and half hours for the test. I had to take few breaks, because I was not only losing concentration but also suffering from boils on my butt. Boil swells easily on my butt especially if I spend long time on chair. I felt like I need to buy a really good chair seat. I could not understand most of the things professor Westra lectured. He gave a lecture about monetary policy, and he said states have to find stability in their  monetary  system and take various strat...
