[미래 빚어가기]
What?
From time to time, you are stuck in a situation that you never wanted. Your boss told you that your end of year review will be bad. You got suspended from your school. You could not prepare a term paper when it is due tomorrow. Or you got a notice from the collection office because someone you co-signed did not pay her loan. No one ever wants to be in this kind of situation. But still it happens. So what you are gonna do?
So what?
The goal is to get out of the situation, of course. But is that it? You may get help from someone, or from God. (People will call it ‘luck’ or ‘blessing’ depending on their belief. I am the latter, btw.) You may find a way to get out by yourself. The problem may disappear suddenly. Or in many cases, you live with the consequences.
But is that it? Shouldn’t be. If you just want to get out of the situation and make the experience a piece of memory as you do, there is no improvement. There should be better way to deal with it.
Now what?
First, deal with it with everything you have. You never know what’s going to happen when you throw all of you as if your life depends on it. Do the best. Don’t leave any excuse.
Second, put your effort on the best bang for the buck. To make the best out of your effort, you need to find out what area will make the best outcome. There must be one or two. Focus on the areas. You don’t have much time.
Third, learn from it. Analyze why you got there. What could prevent the situation? Who caused the trouble? Don’t skim through. Go deep. Go to the root cause. But remember. It is not for finger-pointing. All thoughts should end up with these questions. “What could YOU do to prevent it? What could YOU do to make a better outcome?” It is all about you, not someone else.

[그밖에...]
두달가량 블로그에 소홀했습니다. 개인적으로 바쁜 일들도 있었지만 전부터 마음을 정하지 못하고 있던 문제 때문에 블로그를 멀리하게 되었습니다. 그건 블로깅을 어떤 언어로 할 것인가입니다. 전에도 언급했던 질문이지요. 몇번 영어 포스팅도 했었구요.
결론을 내렸습니다. 당분간 (몇년이 될지는 모르겠지만) 영어로만 글을 쓰렵니다. 가장 큰 이유는 제 아이들 때문입니다. 평생을 미국에서 자란 아이들이라 우리말로 이야기는 주고 받을 수 있지만 읽기는 많이 부족합니다. 제가 쓰는 글을 이해하기는 거의 불가능에 가깝지요 ㅡ.ㅡ 하지만 제가 쓰는 글에는 저희 아이들이 읽어주었으면 하는 내용들이 상당합니다. 그게 오랫동안 아쉬움으로 남았지요.
당분간 영어로만 포스팅을 합니다. 만들어 놓고 사용하지 않던 영어 블로그를 적극적으로 활용하기로 했습니다. futureshaper.wordpress.com입니다. 이 티스토리 블로그는 잠정 중단할까 하다가 영어 포스팅을 그대로 올리려고 합니다. 그렇다고 댓글까지 영어일 필요는 없습니다. 부담가지지 마시길 ^^
제가 영어를 잘한다고 생각한 적 없습니다. 다만 미국에 사는 아버지로서 할 수 있는 최선을 다하고 있다 생각해주셨으면 하는 마음입니다.
