My opinion regarding the interview with Ms.LV Dahlman
She is one of the most influential coaches for individuals, entreprenuers or groups of people in corporations in the US. I found her interview really interesting because of her outstanding point of view and values.
She said that all of us should focus on our inherent powers or values and not on materials or the things we possess. The things we have, sometimes, can represent our wealth but cannot tell who we are or what potentials we have.
If we accentuate on these things, we are more likely to be lost and depressed when these things are gone like she was.
When laid off from the company, she got sort of depression because she coudn't get loans from the banks due to her instable economic situation. But sometime later, she started to focus on her values like autenticity, spirituality, diversity of thoughts and freedom of choice and has become what she is now.
In terms of values, she explained what meaning each one has but I loved her definition of autenticity.
She said that it means to be true to yourself and understand who you are. Even though we admire someone else, we are not gonna be like them ever because we have diferent backgrounds and ways of thinking.

My experience abroad
Hi! My name is Minji and I am from Jeju, South Korea. I have been living in Mexico for more tan 5 years.
Many people ask me if Mexico is safe place to live.
And I always answer to them that it is a completely safe place to live for me.
I think Mexican people are very kind and open-minded. They are very interested in asian cultures like food, traditions, customs, etc.
I cannot omit the best part of staying in Mexico which is the amazingly delicious food.
Some people will find it very spicy and salty but since we Koreans also have similar way of consuming food, I really enjoy the tradicional dishes here in Mexico.
Another good thing to live in Mexico is that you can learn Spanish, one of the most important and commonly used language.
Even though people knew that I am a foreigner they tried to speak to me in Spanish whole time which helped me a lot to improve my spanish skills.
