Rule Number 6 from ‘The Art of Possibility’

I quoted this story from book The Art of Possibility by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander.

“Two prime ministers are sitting in a room discussing affairs of state. Suddenly a man bursts in, apoplectic with fury, shouting and stamping and banging his fist on the desk. The resident prime minister admonishes him: “Peter,” he says, “kindly remember Rule Number 6,” whereupon Peter is instantly restored to complete calm, apologizes, and withdraws. The politicians return to their conversation, only to be interrupted yet again twenty minutes later by an hysterical woman gesticulating wildly, her hair flying. Again the intruder is greeted with the words: “Marie, please remember Rule Number 6.” Complete calm descends once more, and she too withdraws with a bow and an apology. When the scene is repeated for a third time, the visiting prime minister addresses his colleague: “My dear friend, I’ve seen many things in my life, but never anything as remarkable as this. Would you be willing to share with me the secret of Rule Number 6?” “very simple,” replies the resident prime minister. “Rule Number 6 is ‘Don’t take yourself so g-damn seriously.” “Ah,” says his visitor, “that is a fine rule.” After a moment of pondering, he inquires, “And what, may I ask, are the other rules?”
“There aren’t any.”

This is brilliant act from Britain’s got talent.

This is brilliant. That’s why Amanda said that ‘bloody brilliant’.

originally from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA2B5X0LhMY

If you’ve seen the first series of Britain’s got talent, you would be waiting for this.

I don’t know what do you think about this brilliant act. This is harmony of western and eastern. If you know much about Indian dance, you will understand what I mean. You can see how same dance can be different each other.

I think I should watch the second series of Britain’s got talent.

If you would like to watching HD quality video, you can go here Britains Got Talent: Michael Jackson Suprise HD QUALITY

make-up = mask?!

This is a quite famous story about 10 or 20 years ago in Korea. It suppose to be funny but I am not that good at story telling so you should have to compensate.

One guy met one girl at the cafe. He liked the girl because she was quite pretty. So when they met day by day and then they fell for each other.
We, Koreans normally working 10~14 hours day so most of the time this couple dating at the very night of the day in the cafe where is very dark but there also has very pretty colorful light in it.
So finally they were getting married one day and went honeymoon to Jejudo where is island and famous for honeymoon destination.
Normally, Korean society does not allow to sex before marriage. (This changed a lot nowadays, but this story was old one so…)
After they arrived Jejudo and then they checked in the hotel. They were very shy to staying same room together but meantime very excited, too. When the girl came out from the shower, this guy shocked and said that “Who… Who are you?”

Because this guy never saw her face without make-up.

I was regretted that I couldn’t watch it more earlier and why didn’t I learn English more earlier.

about me…

This is me Ara who came from Korea and studying at Malaysia.
Finally, I have done my study and I am going back to Daegu in Korea at 28th November 2007.
I haven’t been to Korea for 5 years so you think I am not familiar with Korea, you are wrong. I knew too much about Korea. That is the actual big problem because I can do a lot of things if Korean people let me. Either case, I will be powerless.

I am not that interesting about working at Korea(because I will probably powerless person on the earth.) so I will try my best for what I have to do in Korea and probably move on to other country.

I would like to listen someone’s opinion. That should be cultural thing, technology, internet business, movie or TV series.

———— new one

You’ll be surprise once you getting to know me, because I don’t use fancy word and look not very nice. I just express what exactly have in my mind, no more no less. That’s what most girls-maybe Asian girls- don’t like me because they too much care about fancy word and how he looked.
