Q: What is more important to you? To have a high salary or to be happy with your job?
Q: What is more important to you? To have a high salary or to be happy with your job?
A: This seems like an easy question, but actually it is not that easy to answer. The bottom line is that we should pursue a job which makes us truly happy, regardless of the amount of salary it pays. However, in reality, it is very hard to give up a high paying job even if it doesn’t makes us happy. In fact, many people tend to choose a high paying job, sacrifying their personal happiness in search of jobs.
Now that I look back on my previous job searching experiences over the last 20 years or so, I was exactly like them. To be honest, in the past I felt afraid that I might not be able to get as much salary or satisfaction as I do now, if I chose a happy yet low-paying job. Therefore, I'd like to recommend to young people, including my two sons, to land a job which can get them both high salary and happiness. However, if it is impossible, unfortunately, I would rather recommend a high-paying job to them.__________________________________________________________________
Your english is great! I'm happy you have a job that makes you happy now! Loved your question! I don't think it is impossible to find both - happiness and money. :)

Football! Football is the sport that I enjoyed watching and playing for a long time but not anymore. When I was young it was my favorite sport. Not just mine, but for everybody else in my village too. We were used to play almost every day and organise local competitions between us. From that passion of playing came the one of watching when we got a TV. I really enjoyed watching football, but I stopped not long ago because I'd started betting on it and my wife didn't like like it at all. I stopped playing long ago just because of a lack of opportunities.

Your english is very good!!!
0 votedJanuary 18, 20161My Volunteering Activities
My theme of this story is volunteering activities.
My first volunteering activity was not technically volunteering but for credits of grade when I was in middle school. However after that experience, I realized I could learn a lot of things from volunteering activities. The most impressive volunteering oppurtunity in the past was to give aid packages to the tsunami victims in Sendai, Japan. Almost everything was destoyed by 2011 Tōhoku earthquake. I felt the fear of nature and the strength of humans from the tsunami victims who were smiling and thought they could overcome it even if they lost a lot, such as houses, jobs, and their families.
Now, I just started volunteering for the first time in the US. The organization I have joined is a food bank providing food without charging anyone. I like to see a lot people smiling with the food and clothes that they needed.
In the future, I hope I will (or "want to") use my major to become a member of Volunteer Income Tax Assistance. I especially want to help immigrants who can speak only Korean or Japanese as that is my first and second languages. It will be a good chance to use my knowledge to help immigrants.__________________________________________________________
Very good! I love volunteering as well! So great that you are able to help the tsunami victims and volunteer in U.S. I live in U.S. also :)

A friend of mine, Miki, regularly invites her friends over for dinner. She always racks her brains to decide what food to make for us. Usually, she cannot decide on one dish and she ends up offering us a cornucopia of exotic dishes and drinks.
Love how you describe the food!

It's around 9:30 am in free time play. There are five children on a carpeted area. They are playing with Lego blocks. However, there is only one flat base to build up the Lego blocks. They all want to play with the base. Girl O walks around that with a blanket. Girl A wants to build something on the base by herself. Girl S is watching her from a distance. Boy N and Boy P want to build something on the base together. It is crowed around the the base. Boy N says, "There are too many kids here.”
Girl O tries to spread the blanket on the base and to sit down. Boy N says, “ No, we need to build a fort here” and he takes the blanket away. Then, she marches on the base. She seems to enjoys the feeling of bumpy spots on the base on the bottom of her feet. Boy N frowns. I ask her to come over to me. She finally moves away from the base. Girl A starts to place a pieces of blocks rampantly on the base. Boy N says, “ No, you are not allowed to play with the Lego blocks. It's only for boys. Not for girls!” She stops to playing with a frown on her face and tattles to me. I ask him the reason why girls can't play with the Lego blocks. He answers, “Because they can't play.” I respond, “ Why don't we build something big together? What do you wanna make?” He excitedly says, “A fair.” I asked her to help him. She nods and he seems to allow her to join.
She continues to place a pieces of blocks on the base. Boy N talks to Boy P with their enthusiasm, “ Hey, do you want to make a roller coaster?” and “ Yes!”. They start to get Lego blocks from a box. On the other hands, Girls O walks away from the carpet area and plays in the other area. Girl S shows her doll to Girl A. S says,” She is a princes. Do you want to play with me?” A stops to playing with the blocks and starts to play with other toy. All of the children on the carpet intentionally want to use the base at the moment. After five minutes, they start to play all by themselves happily without any frustrations.Great job!!!
