Education is what people do to you. Learning is what you do to yourself. Focus on being connected, always learning, fully aware and super present.

If we destroy human rights and rule of law in response to terrorism, they have won.

This is my first time in Seoul. It's amazing to me that I've never been here before.
allowing anyone aware human remember risk
I think it's important to remember that Hitler was human and that we always need to be aware of the risk allowing anyone to have so much power.
believe japan korea
For some reason, I grew up generally believing that Japan and Korea were quite friendly. I do know that there is some bad history and the extremists on both sides are unreasonable.
believe media marketing
I just believe that the cost of marketing is going to increase and the cost of delivery is going to decrease as the Net gets stronger and mass media gets weaker.
strong korea ties
I have had a great deal of interaction with Koreans and feel a fairly strong bond with Korea.

I fear that my jokes will be misinterpreted and the irony lost. I fear that someone will take offense. I fear that a post will sound boastful.
