Jewish nurse breastfeed Palestinian baby boy : We Are One

Long struggle between Jews and Palestinians dies down in front of a hungry baby.

 

Mahatma Gandhi “Hate the sin, love the sinner”

 


A baby was crying alone

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Jewish nurse breastfeed Palestinian baby boy : We Are One Yaman Abu Ramila Ula Ostrowski-Zak Palestinian baby boy Mahatma Gandhi Jewish nurse breastfeed 9-month-old baby     On June 8, there was a car accident. One Palestinian family was rushed to the emergency room. Also there was a baby who was a 9-month-old baby, Yaman Abu Ramila. He was breathing? He kept quiet motionlessly. Suddenly he burst into crying! His father and mother were still unconscious. One Jewish nurse, Ula Ostrowski-Zak, tried to feed powdered milk, but the baby absolutely didn’t eat anything. She can’t help but to breastfeed the Palestinian baby.


I can’t believe it!

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Jewish nurse breastfeed Palestinian baby boy : We Are One Yaman Abu Ramila Ula Ostrowski-Zak Palestinian baby boy Mahatma Gandhi Jewish nurse breastfeed 9-month-old baby   Relatives of Yaman were really surprised. They can’t believe ‘Jewish breastfeed Palestinian baby boy’. But Jewish nurse said “Not only me, any mother will do so”. She breastfed at 5 times and Yaman‘s aunt hugged her and said thank you.

More surprisingly, she found someone who want to breastfeed Yaman in online. Only for two hours, many people wanted to do it. It’s the power of mother’s heart I guess.

Love of mother, its a powerful thing, young friend.

“Magic Night” in ACC International fringe festival

ACC International fringe festival

On June 2-4, ‘International Street theater Festival‘ was held in Gwang-ju in Korea. It was hosted by ACC(Asia Culture Center). My friend send pictures and short clips to me. He said,”It’s so cool!!!!! Fantastic!!!” I am sick and tired of studying in Australia. Just in time when I feel homesick, I’m so happy to see it. It’s really cool. You can see it for yourself.

“Magic Night”

by Xarxa Theatre_Spain

  Xarxa Theatre celebrates the night with fireworks and upbeat rhythms in a reenactment of an ancient festival in Valencia. Turn off the light, and let the real life begin!

This Concept worked very well. Piping and drumming tempts everyone sweetly. While the fireworks get faster, so do the townsfolk. People were swarming like bees. My friend said, “I have had such hard times, but I was so happy that I was able to forget them on that day.” I suddenly wondered ‘Why do we hold festival?’

Festival : Our Culture, Our Spirit

In a dictionary, the origin of ‘Festival‘ is  ‘Festivalis‘ that means holy day in Latin language. It means that the root of festival is a religious ritual. It contributed to group cohesiveness, but also it handed down culture and tradition. So they can feel they are alive in this community. “We are one!” Culture and festival obviously have a powerful force to change people. Our own culture with our own hands! I think Heavenly Culture makes the world happier. 

Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!

[Two Poems in the Morning] Rise from the Ashes of Despair

What though life conspire to cheat you

A.S. Pushkin

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE [Two Poems in the Morning] Rise from the Ashes of Despair What though life conspire to cheat you Sara Teasdale Life Let It Be Forgotten Charlotte Brontë A.S. Pushkin   What though life conspire to cheat you,
Do not sorrow or complain.
Lie still on the day of pain,

And the day of joy will greet you.
Hearts live in the coming day.
There’s an end to passing sorrow.

Suddenly all flies away,
And delight returns tomorrow.


A STEP TOWARDS PEACE [Two Poems in the Morning] Rise from the Ashes of Despair What though life conspire to cheat you Sara Teasdale Life Let It Be Forgotten Charlotte Brontë A.S. Pushkin   Let It Be Forgotten

By Sara Teasdale
Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold,
Let it be forgotten for ever and ever,
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.
If anyone asks, say it was forgotten
Long and long ago,
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall

In a long forgotten snow.


Life

Charlotte Brontë, 18161855

Life, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall?
Rapidly, merrily,
Life’s sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily
Enjoy them as they fly!

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE [Two Poems in the Morning] Rise from the Ashes of Despair What though life conspire to cheat you Sara Teasdale Life Let It Be Forgotten Charlotte Brontë A.S. Pushkin   What though Death at times steps in,
And calls our Best away?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O’er hope, a heavy sway?
Yet Hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.
Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair!


Peace is up to you 🙂 Good luck!

Internal branding : Your Identity? through Louis Quatorze

Internal branding : Your Identity

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Internal branding : Your Identity? through Louis Quatorze Ritz-Carlton ownership MCM Louis Quatorze Internal branding Intellectual elegance google External branding Apple     In last posting, Identity of company is the most important thing to succeed. Always I think it is hard to me. What is my identity? I don’t know who I am. Who are you? Often adults are said to blame teenagers for their wandering. “Work at the time! You are wandering because of your weak will!” Let’s dig into adults. Do adults know about themselves? In fact, Nope. The difference is that they cover themselves for a long time. So they are more angry. It is called a projection in psychological terms. Teenagers cannot help wandering to look for identity.


What about company?

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Internal branding : Your Identity? through Louis Quatorze Ritz-Carlton ownership MCM Louis Quatorze Internal branding Intellectual elegance google External branding Apple     Company is the same thing for human. Like babies, we should raise the company well. we should build brand image one by one. When branding was reached some level, Its name reminds us of something. Apple is like a Apple and google is like a google. So far we’ve seen marketing in consumer’s view. It is a ‘External branding’. This time, what is important for CEO? If employees are not changed, It is no use advertising splendidly. You know that. People don’t change easily. So consumers feel the same thing as before. What good is it spending a great deal of money on advertising? It is a ‘Internal branding’. It is that each one of employees has the spirit of the company. Each one of employees is to be the company. It is called by ownership.


For example Louis Quatorze : LQ

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Internal branding : Your Identity? through Louis Quatorze Ritz-Carlton ownership MCM Louis Quatorze Internal branding Intellectual elegance google External branding Apple     In Korea, MCM is a leader of hand bag market. Louis Quatorze followed MCM. LQ want to overtake. So, LQ make a slogan, “Intellectual elegance”. They educated all employees. They asked, “What is intellectual elegance?” Most companies are doing here. But LQ is different. They started a learning program for a year in earnest. Two-month interval for 6 times. The first is that you can see performance, play and movie, etc for free. You are needed to find who has ‘Intellectual elegance’ and write about why you think so. Second they are needed to read 2 books. They find and write pleasantly. One year later, they eat intellectually and they walk elegantly. It is same as RitzCarlton Hotel Company“We are ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen” This slogan makes employees more gentle. It is ‘Internal branding’.


I need to build my identity.

Peace is up to you 🙂 Good luck!

Marketing Secrets : You want? Woowa Bros!

The People of Delivery 

Do you know ‘The People of Delivery‘? Oh God, what does it mean? Is Delivery like a bullet? It’s a Food delivery business, called ‘Food-tech‘ in Korea. Woowa Brothers is running! Its name means ‘Elegant’ and ‘Wow’. They are the most influential in Food delivery businesses. How can? Their start is very small in 2010. It’s all that few people developed a delivery smartphone application. How could they grow like now? The company had 25.7 million dollars in 2016. It’s unbelievable! If you see a promotion video, you may be able to know the ‘Marketing Secrets‘.

 

Marketing Secrets

You know that, right? It is simple and funny. Woowa Bros‘s advertising is so funny that people share their happiness through social network services (SNS). Word of Mouth is spreading out in a big way. So, they got gigantic advertising impact without spending a lot of money. So the second can’t keep up with Woowa Bros. 김봉진 CEO said, “The first class talks ‘Culture’, the second talks ‘ function”. He said, “Company’s mission, Identity is the most important” 배달의민족(Baedalminjok = mean The People of Delivery) targets the youngest members. They order food in a meeting, not others.

Kitsch & B-Culture

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Marketing Secrets : You want? Woowa Bros! 김봉진 Woowa Bros The People of Delivery Marketing Secrets Kyung Hee project Kitsch Food-tech Baedalminjok B-Culture   Too many, but I give you a one example. It is really fun. They astonish Korea! It is ‘Kyung Hee project’ Kyung Hee is just a name.  They made advertising foster like right.

How do people react? All Kyung Hee in korea were tagged in Facebook. They parody this foster with their name. So, Woowa Bros put up a poster on 100 buses with different names. How do people react? They pictured each other and tagged their bus on that their name was written. They are pretty much occupied with smileWoowa Bros was flooded with inquiries. “Please, put my name!” So, they started ‘1000 Kyung Hee project’. They send poster with their name to each of them! People really like it. More info?


Is it funny? It’s a marketing secret

Vietnam Napalm Girl Pulitzer Prize Phan Thi Kim Phuc pain medicine Kim Phúc Foundation Kim Phúc Friedrich Nietzsche AP photographer Nick Ut   Do you remember this picture? You might have seen this Vietnam Napalm girl picture. It earned a Pulitzer Prize and was chosen as the World Press Photo of the Year for 1973. In the picture, a nine years old girl was running naked. AP photographer Nick Ut took a photograph, and took Injured children to hospital. Can she be treated? That hospital determined that her burns were so severe that she probably would not survive.


After being an adult

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE [Phan Thi Kim Phuc] Vietnam Napalm Girl For a Peaceful Future! Vietnam Napalm Girl Pulitzer Prize Phan Thi Kim Phuc pain medicine Kim Phúc Foundation Kim Phúc Friedrich Nietzsche AP photographer Nick Ut   In an interview many years later, she recalled she was yelling, Nóng quá, nóng quá (“too hot, too hot”) in the picture. The whole world paid great attention to her. So, she could stay a 14-month in hospital and undergo 17 surgical operations. Vietnam and the United States must have to save her. How does she live after she became an adult? She majored in medicine in Vietnam. But she have to stop studying. She was used as a propaganda symbol by the communist government. In 1992, she married in 29 years old. In 1996, the Napalm girl met the surgeons who had saved her life. The following year, she passed the Canadian Citizenship Test with a perfect score and became a Canadian citizen.


Be a hero

Vietnam Napalm Girl Pulitzer Prize Phan Thi Kim Phuc pain medicine Kim Phúc Foundation Kim Phúc Friedrich Nietzsche AP photographer Nick Ut   In 1994, Kim Phúc was named a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador. In 1996, Kim Phúc gave a speech at U.S Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Veterans Day. She said, “One cannot change the past, but everyone can work together for a peaceful future.” In 1997 she established the first Kim Phúc Foundation in the U.S. What do you think its aim? It is providing medical and psychological assistance to child victims of war. She started a new life, constantly speaking about the War.


 

Forgiveness made me free from hatred. I still have many scars on my body and severe pain most days but my heart is cleansed. Napalm is very powerful, but faith, forgiveness, and love are much more powerful. We would not have war at all if everyone could learn how to live with true love, hope, and forgiveness. If that little girl in the picture can do it, ask yourself: Can you?
Kim Phúc, NPR in 2008

How tough

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE [Phan Thi Kim Phuc] Vietnam Napalm Girl For a Peaceful Future! Vietnam Napalm Girl Pulitzer Prize Phan Thi Kim Phuc pain medicine Kim Phúc Foundation Kim Phúc Friedrich Nietzsche AP photographer Nick Ut   The scar of a burn filled her body with pain chronically. Occasionally the puberty girl must endure intolerable situation like people’s attention. I can’t imagine how hard it is for her. But she didn’t despair. Her determination never wavered. She didn’t blame anyone. Isn’t it really cool? There is nothing to make person mature as much pain. So she is much more valuable. Likewise your hardship is valuable, too.


Are you tough now?

Successful Job Interview tips : Mission vs Vision vs Core Values

Your job interview : It’s cool

A STEP TOWARDS PEACE Successful Job Interview tips : Mission vs Vision vs Core Values Vision Tim Cook Think Different The Walt Disney the founder Successful Steve jobs raison d'etre our company absolutely needs Operations Mission job interview interviewer interviewee identity FORMALIZE YOUR EMPLOYMENT Disney land Core Values company blueprint Apple     Are you trying to get jobs? How about your job interview? It‘s cool, right? If everything is going well, there is no reason to worry about. Do you want to make a strong impression on job interview? Let’s think in a interviewer’s position. Here we go! You joined the company already. Your five-year-anniversary date is coming. It would be like a dream come true, aren’t you? You get a chance to be an interviewer. So now, What kind of people do you hire? You want someone whom your company need. If a interviewee want to be hired, he should know much about the company.


I‘d like to formalize your employment with us. Wow!


Who knows well about the company?  Someone who has joined for 5 years? A man suffering from all departments? Nope. Of course, it can not be ignored. But you can’t know better than the founder and you can’t know better than Operations. Try to listen saying of these people carefully. And make your competence felt. Interviewers said, “He’s someone whom our company absolutely needs.” Wow. The best scenario. But that’s easier said than done. How can we meet them who are the busiest in that company?


In fact, you can meet them. It’s easy and simple.


How can we meet busy men and women?

You can meet them in the company’s homepage. They are in ‘Mission, Vision and Core Values’. Why? Because it is the way they operate. You don’t know yet? Let us take a concrete example.

Apple “Think Different”

Mission(1980 Steve jobs) : “To make a contribution to the world by making tools for the mind that advance humankind.”

Vision(Tim Cook) :

  • “We believe that we’re on the face of the Earth to make great products.
  • We believe in the simple, not the complex.
  • We believe that we need to own and control the primary technologies behind the products we make.
  • We participate only in markets where we can make a significant contribution.
  • We believe in saying no to thousands of projects so that we can really focus on the few that are truly important and meaningful to us.
  • We believe in deep collaboration and cross-pollination of our groups, which allow us to innovate in a way that others cannot.
  • We don’t settle for anything less than excellence in every group in the company, and we have the self-honesty to admit when we’re wrong and the courage to change.”

Core values : “Great, Dimple, Easy-to-use”

The Walt Disney

Using our portfolio of brands to differentiate our content, services and consumer products, we seek to develop the most creative, innovative and profitable entertainment experiences and related products in the world.

Core values : “Innovation, Quality, Community, Storytelling, Optimism and Decency”


A company that has no identity is unattractive

Mission vs Vision vs Core values

Do you get an idea of how they operate their company? Mission is a reason for being of company.(raison d’etre) There are many other companies but why do this company exist? Is it threatening? HAHA. In previous post, I linked company’s mission and personal mission. Do you want more? Go to this link.

It is a concrete blueprint. When Disneyland was completed, Walt Disney was died already but it is same as his blueprint(his imagination). In other words, vision is a specific goal. Lastly, what is Core values? It is criteria for decision-making. There are lots of moments to decide from big things like company’s future, to trivial things like telephone contact with customers. Every employee follow company’s Core values. Explanation is over. Now, company’s success depends on how much company impressed their employees Mission, Vision and Core values. Why? A company that has no identity is unattractive.

Likewise, if interviewee don’t know these things, he must look like a fool. In fact, just because you know(hear) it, doesn’t mean you understand it. Because you should know more than meets the eye. If you feel it deep down in the heart, you are guaranteed to succeed.

Peace is up to you 🙂 Good luck you job interview!
