[미래 빚어가기]
Every life-changing decision makes you wonder. Am I right? Did I make a good decision? Wouldn't it be better if I stayed on the previous course?
It is natural to have that question. Who wouldn't? You made a big step. The change was enormous. Your day is not same as before. You are in a different world. You may need to double your effort to keep up with everything. But still there is no 100% guarantee for success. You wish the best, or at least better than now. But who knows?
Get some rest and move forward! Don't stop! You are on right track! Don't waste your time and energy with looking back!
Good luck with your journey :)

You may need to double your effort to keep up with everything. But still there is no 100% guarantee for success. You wish the best, or at least better than now. But who knows?
At the same time, your friend looks doing fine. The colleagues you worked with are enjoying tangible outcome, when you are investing for your future. You ask yourself everyday. Am I on right track?
The problem is ... you don't know the answer. Nobody knows whether you made right decision or not until you get there. You are thrown up in the air without knowing where you would land. Sometimes you make the decision. Sometimes you are forced to do.
Time to time, you hear the story about someone becoming successful by making big jump. The story gives you hope. But time to time, you hear the story about someone who made breakthrough by sticking to her course. The story makes you confused.
But what can you do? Decision was already made. You are lucky if you made the decision.
When you wonder about your future, stay calm; look inside your heart; and ask yourself. Are you wondering because you are afraid? Are you wondering because you are tired? Are you wondering because you don't want to pay the cost?
Most of the time, you would answer with 'yes' to one of the questions. Then, ask one more question. Do you believe that you made a right decision? If you can answer with 'yes' to this question, you are lucky. You are on an adventure. You separated yourself from the pack of people who can't challenge their status quo. You were just tired. That's all.

[그밖에...]
It started with an old power amp that I bought adhoc purely from my AEAS (Audio Equipment Acquisition Syndrome). It was 40 yrs old Harman Kardon Citation 12. If I didn't pay my tuition, I would have bought a better one, but... anyway in a short story, it was broken and repair shop couldn't find the parts to fix it.
After several days after I finally gave up with HK amp, my Shure earphone got broken. I guess inner connection of one side has a problem. It has 2 years of warranty - replacement without any question if there is any issue. Funny (not actually funny) that it started to show the problem after 2 years and 20 days since I bought.
Almost at the same day, one side of my audio system started to make noise. It was Carver power amp that I use for a while. It was 20 years old. I expect that someday I need to replace some parts. But why this time?
When I tried different connection with the audio equipments to find out where the problem was, the stepped attenuator that use for volume control got an issue with a channel. Luckily, I could fix it.
Next turn was my school netbook. One day, the netbook went down. After that instance, it refuses to boot up. When Windows booting screen shows, phew, power goes down. I can fix software issue, but not hardware.
Since I needed one for school exam and didn't want to spend money, I tried my son's laptop. It is 3 years old and he haven't used it for a while. Bad luck. Network connection didn't work.
Finally, my company laptop, which is my last resort for exam, started to show problem. It freezes once a day without any pattern. Nothing can be done except hard boot. How can I trust this one for exam? If it freezes during exam, it will ruin the whole term.
Everything happened in last month. I feel that anything I touch is being broken. What's going on? I know it was just a series of bad lucks. But still ... why this time? :(

[그밖에...]
#1.
블로그에 글을 쓴지가 꽤나 오래 되었습니다. 한주에 하나씩은 올렸었는데 거의 두주를 쉬었네요. 특별히 더 바쁜 것은 아니었는데, 시험때가 가까와서 그런지 마음의 여유가 줄어드나 봅니다. 또 한편으로는 그나마 남는 시간을 다른 일에 쓰다 보니 더 뜸했습니다.
#2.
수업은 거의 끝나갑니다. 두주후면 본격적인 시험기간입니다. 세과목 밖에 안되지만, 부담감은 상당하네요. 일주일 간격으로 시험을 보기에 한주에 한과목을 준비할 수 있습니다. 그런데 모든 과목이 일주일 가지고는 택도 없이 모자르기에 벌써 부담이 팍팍 옵니다.
#3.
마음이 너무 곤해진듯해 책을 읽었습니다. 여름에 시작한 '아직도 가야할 길'을 얼마전 끝냈습니다. 성장이 삶의 목표요, 이를 방해하는 게으름은 죄라는 스콧 펙의 글을 읽으며 많이 찔렸습니다. 하루 하루 짜임새있게 충실하게 살아야할텐데 분주하기만 하지 별로 남는게 없습니다.
#4.
최근 한달 동안 제가 사용하는 전자제품중 많은 것이 고장났습니다. 파워 앰프, 이어폰, 넷북 등등. 우연의 일치인 줄은 알지만 그래도 마치 저주라도 받은 것처럼 마음이 심란합니다 ㅡ.ㅡ 학교 시험을 examsoft라고 랩탑을 가지고 가서 입력해야하는데 어느거 하나 믿을게 없어서 고민입니다.
#5.
이쪽 백화점들은 몇주전부터 크리스마스 장식이 등장했다고 하네요. 본격적인 연말시즌입니다. 한국은 어떤지 궁금합니다. 올초 마음에 다짐한 것이 정심여수, "물과 같이 고요한 마음"이었는데 얼마 남지 않은 기간이지만 그 지향에 근접할 수 있도록 노력해야겠습니다.

[짧은 생각들]
지난 2주간 트위터를 통해 쏟아낸 생각들. 그러고 보니 트위터에도 소홀했다. 뭐하느라 그렇게 바빴는지 ㅡ.ㅡ
==================================================
나에게 부족한 것은 시간 그리고 돈. 하지만 가장 필요한 것은 이 상황을 극복하고자 하는 의지. on 10.28
트위터의 팔로우 숫자 느는 속도와 블로그의 구독자수 줄어드는 속도가 비슷하다. 블로그에 글도 열심히 써야 할텐데... 트윗 글 열개 쓰는 노력이면 포스팅 하나 할 수 있을까? on 10.28
무엇이 옳은 것인지에 대한 정의를 하나씩 부수는 나라. 무엇을 하든 힘만 가지면 끝이라는 진리를 위에서부터 친절하게 가르쳐 주는 나라. 이 나라가 어디까지 갈까 두렵다. on 10.29
진정한 용기란 두려움으로 인한 위협에 그저 저항하는데서 머물지 않고 뛰쳐나와 알지 못하는 미지의 세계로 들어가는 행동이다. 어떤 단계의 정신적 성장이든, 사랑이든 항상 용기를 필요로 하며 그래서 모험이다. <아직도 가야할 길> on 10.30
새로운 세상을 열고자 했던 혁명가, 백성들을 아낀 어진 관리, 492권의 저서를 남긴 저술가, 그리고 당대의 학자들과 치열한 논쟁을 벌였던 지식인. 다산을 기억한다. 나는 그의 발뒤꿈치라도 좇아갈 수는 없는 걸까? on 11.3
운동하면서 보는 드라마를 보스톤 리갈에서 'The Wire'로 바꾸었다. 첫 에피소드의 반 밖에 못봤지만, 참 음울한 경찰물이다. 제작자는 경찰의 이야기가 아니라 도시의 이야기를 하고 싶었다던데, 그 말이 이해가 된다. on 11.3
yay!! they are coming :) - http://ow.ly/i/5dI on 11.3
피카사에 들어가있는 얼굴 인식 기능. 참 편하면서도 무섭다. 이만한 기술이 공짜로 제공된다니... (완전한 공짜야 없다지만) on 11.4
it's funny to see picasa put my son as a candidate for my daughter and vice versa. face recognition proves that they are siblings :) on 11.4
가장 졸린 교수의 수업이 시작되었다. 맨날 커피도 새로 사다 놓고 졸지 말아야지 다짐하건만... 매번 지키지 못한다 ㅡ.ㅡ on 11.4
(아이리스 관련 트위트는 수업시간에 졸지 않기 위한 몸부림... ^^)
#아이리스_ 1. 선입견이란게 참 무섭다. 아이리스를 통해 처음 김태희를 본 우리 아이들. 김태희 너무 웃기고 예쁘다고 하지 연기 못한다는 소리 하나도 안한다. ^^ on 11.4
#아이리스_ 2. "이병헌은 맨날 벗고 나와" 아내가 말했다. "몸 만들려고 얼마나 애썼겠어. 써먹어야지" "그렇게 말하지 말고 자기도 몸 좀 만들어 봐" "나? ... 난 몸 말고 머리를 만들래 ㅡ.ㅡ" on 11.4
#아이리스_ 3. 현준/승희 커플 옆에 있는 사우를 볼 때마다 아들이 난리다. "너무 불쌍해." 뭐야. 혹시 동병상련? 누구야. 우리 아들 마음을 아프게 한 여자가. on 11.4
#아이리스_ 4. 자동차 추격신 보면서 "뭐야. 차들이 쫓아다니기만해" "뒤집어지는 차도 없고" "시시해" ... 선화가 탄 차가 뒤집어지자 "좀 났네" ... 가족들이 영화를 너무 많이 봤나보다. 눈이 너무 높아졌다. on 11.4
바쁘면 바쁜만큼 하고 싶은 일이 늘어난다. 요즘 마음을 뒤숭숭하게 하고 있는 건 진공관 앰프 자작과 미드 보기. 아마도 머리의 일정부분은 유희를 필요로 하나 보다 ^^ on 11.6
공부 한다고 글쓰기에 소홀히 했더니 딴짓만 한다. 다시 글을 써야겠다. on 11.6
i can't change my life 180 degree. maybe 10 degree? but it would be enough for me :) on 11.6
2년동안 문제가 생기면 조건 없이 교환해준다는 슈어 이어폰이 2년 넘고 한달도 채 안된 어제부터 문제를 일으켰다. 이거 바꾸어줄려나? 제품의 보증기간은 주사위 놀이로 정하는게 아닌가 보다 ㅡ.ㅡ on 11.6
