Short note about the suicide. This note is inspired by other friend in italki. I've studied about suicide for a long time, because It's not a rare accident in Korea. Korea is the most suiciding country in the world by matchless. According to OECD statistics, Korea's suicide rate is as triple compared with OECD average rate. and the suicide in Korea is No.1 reason of death for people between the ages 10 to 39. If you are a person who interested in Korea, I think you need to know about this. Anyway, I was wondering about the reason of suicide. If we are the gene carrier, death in young age is the worst thing for living creature. That's an unacceptable loss for at all. Frankly, I thought that suicide is only for someone who too week to live and that never happened for me. I was totally wrong. Killing itself is basic function for every living thing from cell to advanced creature, It just has a little more percentage for human. It's a kind of brain malfunction occurred by generic, environmental or memorial problems. So, I just want to say that everyone can suffered by wish to suicide, If you are not for now and you are the one who never suffered by this malfunction, then you are lucky like others.

Medicine for insomnia I had tried to sleep for about an hour then decide to write a note on italki rather than waste my hallucination. I have been studied English for about 20 years, it's quiet interesting for me because i have never done one thing for a long time before. Of course, I can blame on Korea's poor educational system but i have to say i didn't get in any troubles before i realize that i need to get out of tiny well. Sometimes, I was wondering that what if i didn't want to change my circumstances, How do i doing this minute. Alright, time to get back to bed. If anyone want to learn Korean, let me know. and Thank you for correction.!

What is the good English name?

My name is Yang DaeJung, i know it's really hard to pronounce.

 

And I do believe in the name has own meaning and power.

That's why i hesitate to choose common English name.

Discussions about building a new university in you neighbourhood. There have been discussions about building a new university in your neighbourhood. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having a university in your neighbourhood. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't like NIMBY syndrome, exactly say i hate. That's because i don't wanna discuss about this theme but i have no choice. I think most people would love building a new university in you neighborhood, especially who lived in city and east asian. The east asian countries which effected by the confucius tend to worship scholar. and i'm from the country dominated by the confucianism over 600 years. If you wanna live in countryside in the silent calm, it might be a disadvantage to you. But even if in this case, i think building a new university would be a advantage. Living in a countryside can be no fun at all and you can adjust relationship with students whatever you want. Sadly, I have been tried find a disadvantage of new university but i can't.

Universities should offer students incentives to do volunteer work? Universities should offer students incentives to do volunteer work. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. (ex. People tend to change jobs frequently nowadays. What are some advantages and disavantages of moving to jobs?) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think the universities incentives is not the point of this question. It looks like more related with a question that how far we can trust each other, or how mankind can be naive. What if universities offer incentives to students do more unpaid works and as time goes on it can settled down into a kind of cultural virtue. It would be a good for all of us. Might be imagined people can work more active and take less care for money. But i can't think there is no selfish man left, some peoples surely take an advantage of easy money by volunteer work. Do you think the government can control that? or prevent it by law? I don't think so. Most of all, we have a much serious and getting worse problem, our population is much more than our job. So i think, every policies for the future need to be more strengthen people right and wealth. I don't think making students do more volunteer work doesn't strengthen their right. I Disagree.

It's my first English note and i wish i could write it down like a diary. G'day, mate. I learned the word in above today and it really looks good to me. I have been degraded for couples of weeks because i felt like i lost my track in my life. I thought i'm an educated and intelligent person who knows how to live a life. but i was wrong. I had worked for the money, not for me and i couldn't satisfied by anything. Finally, i figured out that i'm not belong to the city, and i want to be a farmer. Lao-tzu said that mankind have to learn from care and only care is close to the Tao. and in his book, care can refers to the farmer. Maybe it's the stupidest thing i have ever made, but i would say now or never. I hope, this gonna keep in my mind.
