Life changing process should start now!
Losing my reputation for Christ and digging into the Word of God everyday should be present in my daily life.
What's the best life?
My ego and selfishness die and Christ lives within me. Each day humbly submit myself for Christ and read His Words and meditate on It.
Let me have the true freedom, Lord.
This week will be a time of transformation.
Help me live each day according to Your glorious plan.
Fill me with your Word each day, I pray.

5 ways to shape corporate culture
According to Mark Hurd, the CEO of HP, when CEOs recognize, reward, promote, demote, or fire an employee, they send a message to employees what they value and therefore, a corporate culture will be shaped accordingly.
At HP, first make a strategy, then come up with best operating model to implement the strategy, and then get the best people to bring the operating model into reality.
Mark is a consuit and catalyst in his company.

Read this Blog: Starting a Career in User Experience Design
[Source: http://www.nickfinck.com/blog/entry/starting_a_career_in_user_experience_design/]
Aug 10th, 2009
About once a week, I get an email from someone who is interested in becoming a user experience professional. They ask me a series of questions about how one would do this. The questions and areas of focus for these emails vary dramatically, depending on the interests of the individual asking. I thought it would be a good idea to write a post on some of the more common information about how to begin a career in user experience and how to become a user experience professional.
I have found three core areas of advice that I tend to dispense when it comes to someone who is starting out and wanting to know more about user experience. These three areas contain a lot of information. I could write a book on each one, but for the sake of brevity, I am going to keep my advice here limited to the high-level concepts. I am also going to limit this advice to being more web-centric rather than trying to cover all of the platforms and perspectives that user experience covers.
This advice likely applies to fields outside of the user experience realm. It is also applicable for those wanting to go into a specialized area of user experience.
Education
The number one success factor for user experience professionals is education. It is critical to understand the realm of user experience and all that it covers before deciding on what areas to specialize in, be it information architecture, usability engineering, interaction design, visual design, content strategy & copywriting, web analysis, user research, online marketing, or web strategy.
This education could be formal, through programs offered at universities for specific fields. For example, university programs for Information Architecture or Usability.
If a formal education is not for you there are more informal options to look at. Consider self-guided education, such as the WaSP InterAct Curriculum. Consider simply reading highly recommended UX books. In addition to reading on your own you can also join user experience book clubs that have regular meetings all around the world.
Another option is to find someone willing to mentor you. There are several programs for those looking for a mentor, as well as those looking to be a mentor. For example, the IAI Mentor Program and the IxDA Mentorship Program.
Experience
Coupled with education is experience. A formal degree in information science won’t get you too far in the professional field if you haven’t had first hand experience doing the work outside of college. This often means getting a entry-level job to get some projects under your belt. The first step in getting a job is creating a highly-polished resume.
Now, there are a billion resources out there for how to craft a resume, so I don’t plan rehashing that here, but I am going to tell you some tips that could help you actually land a UX job. Your resume is a elevator pitch, avoid going into detail where not needed. Focus on the things that are important to that specific job your are applying for. Create a special resume that highlights the necessary points needed for each job your are applying for. Have it reviewed, edited, and polished by your friends. You can’t afford to have spelling or typographical errors in your resume.
Going hand-in-hand with the resume is a portfolio. This is something I feel a lot of user experience professionals miss, especially those who do not specialize in visual design. Yes, even if you are just producing wireframes or XHTML/CSS all day, it is crucial to have a portfolio of your work. Employers want to see your work, your code, and designs.
If you don’t have any work to put into a portfolio outside class projects, there are ways to get work to show. One way would be to do some freelance work for friends and companies you have established relationships with. Remember, this is about you building your portfolio, it may be worth it to take a project or two for free to do so, ideally for a non-profit organization. If you have a full time job doing something unrelated to UX perhaps moonlighting as a freelancer from home is another thing to consider. If you can’t get a project, try creating some scenarios that would allow you to show your skills. For example, what would you do if Apple asked you to redesign their website? What if Yahoo needed a new information architecture? In a worst case scenario, use your own portfolio as an example of your work. Any work is better than none.
Once you have a portfolio and highly-polished resume, the next step is to find a job. A good way to get your foot in the door, especially if you are still in school, is to do an internship at a company you one day hope to work for. This establishes a solid relationship, familiarity with your work and skill set, and most of all, trust. When that company decides it’s time to hire, you will be high up on their list.
Another aspect of finding a UX position has to do with figuring out what kind of job is right for you. For example, in a position within an agency, you work with multiple companies and projects lasting from one week to an entire year, depending on scope. In this case, someone is hiring you or your company for their expertise in user experience. The flip-side of this would be working within a business who needs a full in-house team. In this case, your projects will be internal to the company and may not be as variable as what you would encounter in an agency setting. You may be working on the same project for several years, or a group of projects for a year or two.
Exposure
Building on the education and experience is exposure. Exposure is very critical for differentiating yourself from others in the industry. It is also useful for differentiating what you do versus other roles that may appear as very similar at first glance. This differentiation is established by being a thought leader in your area of specialization, and by helping to define that area better.
The first aspect of being a thought leader is to start writing about your work, especially if it seems as if no one else is really doing what it is that you are doing within the user experience space. A blog is a good first step in to writing about your expertise. Even if you are just learning something for the first time doesn’t mean you should not write about your experiences on the subject. Writing for other user experience publications is also another good step. What you write doesn’t have to be a lengthy article either, it can be just collection of links or commentary on something someone else wrote. Posting useful information via Twitter is another great example of this. This will help establish your expertise and help others out as well. Your ultimate goal is to be the first person who comes to mind when someone is thinking about a specific subject.
In addition to writing, you can get great exposure by speaking at user experience events. Practice the craft of public speaking, it will become useful in your career as a user experience professional. To get noticed as recognized speaker, you must first have some presenting experience under your belt. A good way to do this is to ask to speak at various local user groups and meet-ups happening within your area. These events are often organized by those within the immediate community and it doesn’t take much more than an email to be considered. Professional conferences may require you to submit your presentation ideas or even a completed paper. The more academic the event, the more likely there will be a formal call for papers and a peer review process.
If you can’t seem to get a speaking gig, the next thing you can do to help increase your exposure within the professional space is to simply attend events. Start with local groups, go to any event you feel is related to what you are doing. Introduce yourself to anyone who seems interested, print and bring business cards even if they are just your name, email and Twitter ID. Be sure to get business cards from anyone you talk to. Engage in the discussions going on even if the event is just a social hour. Some of the best conversations I have had happened at social hours. Some of the greatest people I know I met at a local gathering.
Not up for going to a lot of local or national events? You can use Twitter to communicate with several other user experience professionals. Most of them are more than willing to help you out and answer any questions you may have about user experience. Likewise, when you tweet, keep it on topic and useful. Twitter is quickly becoming the most efficient means of communication among peers out there, you can use it to gain some level exposure, education, and more if done right. Remember these are other people you are talking to, be kind and courteous of their time and interest.
Like Twitter you can also get engaged with the community by simply reading industry blogs and following along in the comments and forums. Be sure you take the time to learn about the people involved with each blog or website before jumping into the middle of a ongoing conversation. Again, be respectful and courteous of everyone’s opinion and the time they are going to take reading your comments, etc.
Once you have established some connections with other professionals in your area, start emailing them and seeing if they would be up for you bouncing ideas off them. You would be surprised at how many colleagues will be interested in giving you critiques of your work, even if it’s just high level feedback. Some of these relationships may even build to the level of mentorship like I mentioned above. Be sure to give back as much as these colleagues are giving their time and energy to you. Go out of your way to help them when they ask. Help them find connections when you think you may know someone who can help them. Be a connector. They will give back ten fold.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the three core aspects of getting a career as a user experience designer is focused around education, experience, and exposure. The more effort you put in, the more you will see results. The more passion you put in, the more you will grow as a professional. I hope you found this information useful, and that it helps you guide you down your career path. As always, my door is open should you have any questions. I will do my best to answer them.
Thank You
I owe a series of big thank you’s to the people who helped make this post possible. To Olivia Zinn for helping me edit this post and craft it into something that could be easily read. To Steve Baty for giving me great advice as I wrote it. To Thomas Vander Wal for sharing various sources of information that helped fuel this post. To all the UX gurus on twitter who gave me feedback on what information and great quotes to relay to those who are just starting out. And last but not least to all my colleagues and friends from the user experience field who inspired me to write this post.

Living itself is a risky business. If we spent half as much time learning how to take risks as we spend avoiding them, we wouldn't have so much fear in life. - E.Paul Torrance

My life at stake
Just random thoughts...
What do you think I should do Lord? Today I begin to wake up at 7am to get my body adjusted to my new job position.
I need to know what’s at stake and what’s most important to me at this moment. I need to wait for “my marshmallows” instead of touching them or eating them up right away.
Need to read books. Gotta finish books in my room.
Need to organize my documents and files. Massive amount of documents, newspapers, and papers in my room need to be trashed.
Need to plan ahead for my possible internship. Might get to work in Bundang and gotta look for a place to stay.
Need to study consulting. Gotta learn ways to master business basics: frameworks, strategies, etc.
Need to get ready to start dating. Gotta gather myself up for possible dates.

Black, the movie review
I just watched a movie called “Black.” I never wept so much till I watched this movie. I can name “Life is beautiful,” and some other movies but not like this movie I wept so much. Among the statements of the actors, I found many contexts quite similar to mine. I... Read More’m in the middle of my battle with finding a job in Seoul and so was the main character: She was fighting against darkness, ignorance, unworthiness, and failures. I’m going through a similar challenge: a series of rejections from companies that I’ve applied. Although the main character or teacher of her found one of core reasons for the failure, I didn’t think I haven’t found one yet. I just realized, however, while typing this appreciation paragraph, that the true essence of my failure was from my lack of courage to fight against darkness, insecurity, and rejections from people.
From now on, I will celebrate my failures whenever I get rejection in my application process. Thank God for allowing me to see this movie today on my way to Seoul. Otherwise I might have deleted the movie on my laptop. Help me to overcome this difficult job application process.

If you don't make a choice for yourself, someone else will.
I only have 3 hours: 1 hour for file management, 1 hour for planning for interview and test, and 1 hour to get ready for tomorrow.
Realized that I need to prepare myself for the future. If I applied to Korean companies while studying in the U.S., I probably have been better off for the things that I'm going through right now. However, I didn't prepare myself and I wasn't even earnestly attempted to see my future, I now am living in misery.
Preparing for an MBA degree is the same. I could have started GMAT preparation earlier than this year but I'm now stuck in job application and other things in life.
I need to get myself ready; see things coming at me in a moment; see the waves of tsunami before it reaches to shore and crush me.

Now I know why Dion did what he did.
Just finished reading Romans 15 and realized what I must do to other people around me, namely neighbors.
Lord, help me please my neighbor.
1We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me."a]">[a] 4For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Do This and You Will Live
I learned the following message from today's sermon.
1. Deut.4:39~40
39 Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. 40 Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the LORD your God gives you for all time.
2. 28:1~
1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
3.10:12~13
12 And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
--> Obeying His decrees and commands=Love
4. Matt 5:17-20
17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
5. Romans 13:10
10Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
--> Faith comes into reality when I love.
6. 1 John 13:18-20
18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 19This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence 20whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
==>Faith, action, obedience, and love all go along together.
7. John 3:36

1. Deut.4:39~40
39 Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. 40 Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the LORD your God gives you for all time.
2. 28:1~
1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
3.10:12~13
12 And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
--> Obeying His decrees and commands=Love
4. Matt 5:17-20
17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
5. Romans 13:10
10Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
--> Faith comes into reality when I love.
6. 1 John 13:18-20
18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 19This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence 20whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
==>Faith, action, obedience, and love all go along together.

James 4:13-15 (New International Version)
Boasting About Tomorrow
13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."
