One ring after another, but some things stay contant and that's the way I like it

Good people

From starting my program 2 years ago until now where there are only a few months left until all of this ends, I realised that good people are really hard to come by. Intelligent and smart people are pretty common in this field and I wonder why there aren’t more good people among these so-called “elite” or elite wannabes. 

I came across this article today saying how psychological safety is one of the main things that is essential for a team’s success but I argue that it is important in any kind of setting. To be a kind and good person is just so rare nowadays that it is insane how blinded our society can be. Admiring and celebrating those who are smart and intelligent people regardless of their character and nature.

In the future, I hope that there can be metrics that will be able to determine if someone is a good person or not before they get admitted into a program, a job, and other endeavours as this is even more basic than an IQ test. How far have we come that we’ve basically been able to do all sort of amazing things yet we somehow forget how to be decent human beings.

The Miracle of Crybaby Shottan (2018)

8/10  I haven’t seen a J-movie in a long time and it’s so refreshing to see this film on the plane on my way back to Toronto. A lot of films have featured shogi or chess but the way this story unfolds about Shottan’s passion for the game and also how he was able to bypass traditional rules about becoming professional in the field is, like the title suggests, a miracle. 

Truth be told, I watched it because it had Tsumabuki in it who still can play a guy in his early twenties. Tsumabuki kun I really take my hat off for you.

Thoroughly enjoyed walking around the old, walled city of Intramuros. It was right before golden hour and humidity was at its peak but there were some great shots and sceneries. I wish I could easily just walk around here whenever I want.

Strong Opinions, Weakly Held

this should be a book title imo. Just had a great meeting with two nice people. Looking forward to how this team will go. So much to learn and do. So much to see and explore.

So this is pretty bad. I’ve watched Mr. Sunshine so many times now and also those BTS clips that I dreamt I met Byun Yohan last night. It was on campus at a gym/theatre place where apparently they were showing some deleted scenes and I accidentally turned the movie on. There were guys playing basketball and voila Byun Yohan was one of them but he wasn’t in gym clothes. He was dressed up as Kim Hee Sung from Mr. Sunshine. This is just insanity and the point I realized I’ve probably reached my limit. XD

Hello Goodbye

The rainy yet cloudy weather here in Reykjavik describes my mood for today really well. Walked 20k steps around the city in the rain. It has been almost 10 months but sometimes things do not work out the way you want them to. Nevertheless I learned a lot during this time and looking forward to a new future.
