Connections

Matt Harding started to film himself doing exotic dances on his backpack trip few years ago, soon sponsored to continue his work. He realizes that every people in the world wants to be connected and be noticed, and he is not use to be together with many different types of people. But when he dances with people he feels that the world seem more simple and easier to understand with his caveman-brain what he calls. More deep, he believes his children will have a better 'brain' than his, who sees the similarities before the differences.

When I read the essay Matt Harding wrote I thought of lots and lots of colours that is harmonzied because it is similar with Matt's thought that when everybody(colours) get together it looks more simple like this picture. In addition, the picture looks like two people are holding each others hands, that makes me think of different people coming together.

A Smile of Compliment

I never knew that a small compliment will make someone happy, even giving compliments about something trivial. And I noticed that everything has an effort dissolved in it. For example, in the you-tube clip, the compliment guy gave compliments to someone about their hat, but I know that the person might have worn tons of hats to figure out which one is better, most of us all do that! And it is really funny because even though I didn't knew that a compliment makes people happy, I gave a good reason why, realizing that I was absent minded about giving compliments.

This picture is called Hercules protects painting from ignorance and envy drawn by Andries Cornelis Lens. http://www.wga.hu/art/l/lens/hercules.jpg This picture came into my mind, it is similar to my mind or thoughts. I can see a person that looks like ignoring someone. And in my opinion, the light from the back means happiness or good things, just like me ignoring someone who wore their favorite shirt or a pretty necklace.

My Name

'Special' is the word that always come into my mind when I hear my name. It's unique and different. 'Che Hoon, Jeong' means a brilliant award. But i get frustrated when my name shpae shifts. It changes into Jae Hoon, or Che Joon, and other different ways that don't make sense. The big point is, sometimes people cannot remember my name, because it's uncommon, this is why I have thousand of nicknames like Yellow Guy, Number One Korean Beef, and even Vegetable! I don't consider it teasing becuase my is really hard to remember. Or am I not a good friend that can stay deep inside their heart?

Or is the rule of 'Chu Yeok' is just a myth? Almost all people in Korea make names with this rule, because ancient Chinese and Koreans believe that there are five elements, water, fire, tree, ground, and iron. The reason for the worlds change. There are also the positive and negative elements. If all these elements and the number of strokes of the name harmonizes the one will have a happy life. All the questions, am I a good friend? Why can't they remember me? Is the rule of 'Chu Yeok' a myth? Then is it myself that makes a happy life? They go round and round my head making me frustrated.

Going on a universal quest deep inside my mind seeking for an answer, I figured out that the name gives me happiness to me. Because every time when I hear someone call my name the right way or remembers it I feel proud to myself, mostly proud to my dad who made it for me thanking him to give this brilliant award to me.

This picture was drawn by Picasso (1881-1973) called Weeping Woman drawn at 1937.

I chose this picture because it is unique and different from other ordinary paintings, just like my name. And the sad expression of the woman looks like me sad about people not remembering me.

"Rarely do we find men who wilingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think." - Martin Luther King Jr.

I had the same sentiment when I saw this quote. When we read a book, the protagonist always tries to seek an answer by going on a journey, thinking hard to overcome there obstacles or how to react. Also in our life, there are sometimes when we need to struggle thinking to find an answer whether we need solutions about our concerns.

'Le Penseur' is a statue mad by Auguste Rodin, a sculptor. Thousands of ideas comes into my mind when I look in this picture. A protagonist thinking how to overcome there obstacles, a person concenrened about something, and a a person trying to seek an answer. In conclusion, a person going on a journey deep inside their mind. And I do think that this really represents my idea and the quote.
