Life is to explore, to adapt and to innovate. WHY?

From the very first line of my cover letter, I wrote down that:To me, life is to explore, to adapt and to innovate.Once people come across this context, I’ve usually been being asked about its interpretation.Whether I am trying to creatively show off my skills or looking for ways to grab recruiter's attention, there’s bound to be far than just an answer to share.First of all, no matter how eloquent we express an interest in changing the world, in fact, there will always be things that will never change over time. Many rules and norms around us stay exactly the same from time to ti

The No. 1 Lesson I Learned as a Fresh Marketer

This last year has been one of my most rewarding voyages in terms of self-discovery: From a fledgling, I jumped and flapped out of the comfort nest into the energetic sphere of marketing and advertising. Although I had been pursuing, learning, and practicing this field with all the excitement and passion for the past six years, I was still amazed by how the pragmatic stunts got to me.Immersing myself in the growing industry allows me not only to gain new perspectives that it offers, but also to look deeply into the beautiful way it has taught me how to live life to the fullest and how to beco

As summer brings a delightful fresh approach to Boston, people finally can find relief in the warmth of balmy weather after going through the harshest winter in the history. The weather is gently reminding me of my last summer in Lahti-Finland where I have been calling home for four years.

Life's Tragedy

It may be misery not to sing at all, And to go silent through the brimming day; It may be misery never to be loved, But deeper griefs than these beset the way.

To sing the perfect song, And by a half-tone lost the key, There the potent sorrow, there the grief, The pale, sad staring of Life's Tragedy.

To have come near to the perfect love, Not the hot passion of untempered youth, But that which lies aside its vanity, And gives, for thy trusting worship, truth.

This, this indeed is to be accursed, For if we mortals love, or if we sing, We count our joys not by what we have, But by what kept us from that perfect thing.

The road not taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,  And sorry I could not travel both  And be one traveler, long I stood  And looked down one as far as I could  To where it bent in the undergrowth;  Then took the other, as just as fair,  And having perhaps the better claim,  Because it was grassy and wanted wear;  Though as for that the passing there  Had worn them really about the same,  And both that morning equally lay  In leaves no step had trodden black.  Oh, I kept the first for another day!  Yet knowing how way leads on to way,  I doubted if I should ever come back.  I shall be telling this with a sigh  Somewhere ages and ages hence:  Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-  I took the one less traveled by,  And that has made all the difference.

Alain de Botton examines our ideas of success and failure -- and questions the assumptions underlying these two judgments. Is success always earned? Is failure? He makes an eloquent, witty case to move beyond snobbery to find true pleasure in our work.

"Let's make sure our ideas of success are truly our own." - Alain de Botton
