Helping people build strong community and taking concrete shape of ideas into reality. / Meaningful projects and organizations pursuing improvement of the world.

Only 25 percent of job successes are predicted by I.Q. 75 percent of job successes are predicted by your optimism levels, your social support and your ability to see stress as a challenge instead of as a threat. (By Shawn Achor) Be optimist :D

I've been a fan of TED since 2010. I was thrilled by this simply amazing platform for spreading ideas. Then I met TEDxKAIST; a few brave soles who were driven by a passion for TED. Over the next year, we worked toward a few more projects, including a streaming event in July 2011, collaboration with other local TEDx teams, TEDxKAISTSalon in November 2011 and TEDxKAISTChange in April 2012. I'm blessed to meet this community with interdisciplinary people who are passionate about understanding countless issues from various perspectives. And I found out, recently in TEDxSummit(April 2012), that TEDx organizers are prone to being full of inspiring people and are characterized by voluntarily joining together to change the world. I'm excited to imagine how great the future is going to be with these people.
