  • it’s very very nice to feel the fall is coming.
    my hot apartment is not super hot anymore. it’s just hot.
    in the evening i just don’t want to do anything but just want to sit down and look at the sky through the window near my desk.

    i kind of feel i’m back in korea.
    because lately i smell some random korean smell a lot in the evening.
    today why isn’t it surprising to smell broiling mackerels at this point?
    i’m supposed to smell at least barbecue or potato soup instead of fish.

    i’m living in such a korea town.
    i don’t like it.

    After I figured out my transferable skills which I want to use at work, I worked on finding out what my my traits or temperaments are. Transferable skills can be specified with this for example, “organizing systematically” and “organizing intuitively” are not the same and the words “systematically” and “intuitively” explains the style of the skill “organizing.”

    I looked at my success stories many times to find my traits. and then I emailed people who’ve known me for at least 3 years to ask what kind of traits they think I have. after the research I was able to make this list.

    analytical
    brave
    challenging
    confident
    constant
    creative
    efficient
    endeavoring
    immediately
    industrious
    innovative
    leading
    listening
    logical
    motivating
    patient
    positive
    practical
    realistic
    sensitive
    strategic / tactic

    through human network

    wow, even I was so surprised! do I really have this many characteristics?
    of course these are all positive. I don’t have to know my negative ones because I only need to focus on my good ones to use at work.
    however, “brave” can be “rash” or”careless”

    after I figured this out, I was saying, “I kinda like myself…” haha.
