Lately, I’ve started realize that I’m actually more creative than I had thought. For those unfamiliar with my background, I went through some intensive training in art when I was in Korea and everybody thought I would end up doing something artsy. Interestingly enough, I ended up quitting art during my first semester studying Graphic Design because of the feeling of inadequacy and “lack of creativity.” Growing up, I was always given a subject to draw or paint. I was rarely given a chance to create something on my own, and when I did, I was often made fun of. But when I started learning art in the States, I realized that my thought process wouldn’t allow me to think outside the box obviously due to the particular way I was trained. For the longest time, I considered creativity as something only pertaining to the field of art (again,...

I would like to celebrate the birth of an upgraded iMac with my very own iMac story and a tip that may be helpful in an emergency for my fellow Apple aficionados. Before we get into the details, please refer to the following: I would like to think that I am not the only one who has gone through this terrifying experience. Yes, I do act mindlessly at times and do stupid things. Ok, fine. I’m one of the clumsiest people on earth. MacGyver was my hero when I was growing up, except that mine spoke Korean (dubbed; I was seriously traumatized when he started speaking English). So with these in mind, let me start the story. It was a peaceful Saturday morning. I had just gotten out of bed and was ready to start the day. A watch I had purchased was just delivered and with great excitement,...

To Spend or Save- That is the Question

To Spend or Save- That is the Question

At the end of the day, this indeed becomes the ultimate question- do I splurge on stuff I want, or do I save for the stuff i need? I consider myself a very economical person, yet like everyone else, there are certain times when my mind becomes blank and it no longer is in control of my behaviors. Once your eyes start having an intimate conversation with those Louboutins or Vuittons, the next thing you know is that you are walking out that glitzy store feeling like you were just born again. You just feel so loaded and fly until you realize that you just ripped a huge hole in your bank account. Well, at least I still feel guilty about it, which makes everything okay, right? :P In any case, I guess it’s true that your taste and interests change as you age as I’ve actually started to be attracted to things...

How to become Steve Jobs.

Photo source: www.apple.com In today’s fast changing environment, being ‘innovative’ perhaps is the most valuable asset that can act as a competitive advantage for both a person/employee and an organization. Innovation by definition means a mental process that leads to a new idea. I should probably make a distinction here between being ‘creative’ and ‘innovative’, as many times these terms seem to be used interchangeably, when in reality they are different animals. You can be creative, but not innovative if you cannot materialize the creative idea- consider Job’s iPhone project (I call him the ‘Epitome of Creativity & Innovation’- creative idea flawlessly executed). Creativity can mundanely explained as some sort of psychological activity that occurs to a certain group of people in which an insight is provided, that which is argued in a book titled Creativity by world’s leading researcher in positive psychology, Dr. Csikszentmihaly. He claims that creativity...
