ABOUT ME

I'm Chulwoo Park from South Korea. Please just call me as TRUE!

1. TRUE is humorous, but not ridiculous.
2. TRUE is gentle not hypocritical.

5. TRUE is adventurous not timid.
6. TRUE is true not false.
It is true TRUE who I want to be as well.

PHILOSOPHY

1. A good speaker economizes words and uses words being in high concentration, never says much. Words can be very clear like silver and light like aluminum as well.
2. Don't regret something that happened the past, and don't need to worry about the future not comes yet. The only thing we can do now is to enjoy the present. We have to choose the best choice in every moment. That's it. No one even Genius can catch up with the person who can enjoy all the moments.
3. Don't be afraid to try what we think that we can't do. Just do it and if we fail, leave from our mistakes and try again. We can change and accomplish everything if we don't give up.
4. Why do you want any new relations even being scared of the sorrow of parting? It's inevitable for another one.
5. It ain't over till it's over. - Yogi Berra
6. Action does not always lead to happiness. But, there's no happiness before action. - Benjamin Disraeli
7. To live faithfully is really difficult. Most of people exist merely. - Oscar Wilde
8. The only way to change others is to change myself.
9. Don't worry, be happy. There's no reason not to be happy.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I left Korea to travel all around world, a friend of mine let me know about this amazing system, couch surfing.
But while in Philippines for studying and in Canada for working, I almost forgot it.
And then, when I finally started travelling Canada, another friend reminded me of this.
I was very looking forward to this experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It was really amazing. I know it is never easy to let any stranger come in our home, but I learned how to respect other people and be open-minded through these experiences. I was lucky because I met great hosts before. I definitely feel the earth is the one town regardless of our nationalities. Let's get closer more and more!

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

1. I joined WorkCamp, an international volunteer organization in 2011. I stayed at the Southern part of South Korea with many foreigners from various countries-Italy,France,Russia,Mexico,Hongkong,Taiwan,the Basque provinces. We helped many children, under Alternative Learning System, by giving informal education geared towards building their creativity. We also helped the people in their farms and build a rest place for the farmers. That time was really amazing in my life.

2. Actually, my life was stable, no..looked stable even a year ago. I worked at a good global company that gave a handsome income to me for about 5years. I had a happy family and lots of friends. I looked happy from others. But I wasn't happy. Actually, I didn't like my job that had to work with computer all day long and all night long sometimes. I was thirsty for talking and working with human beings. But I didn't know what I like, what I want to do at that time.
In addition, people who looked caring and loving me were loads and barriers in my life. They didn't understand why I wasn't satisfied with my life. I really needed people who could inspire me and listen to me without any blame.
I tried to find my dream, my goal in my life and what the real life is for a long time.
And finally, I found my dream for the first time in my life.
That is to help unhealty people becoming healthier physically and mentally as well.
After then, I resigned from my job and started living my real life.
I couldn't forget the amazing moment that I found where I had to be headed for in journey of life.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

We are looking all around to find the happiness, but we may look like a beggar who is sitting on the jar containing gold nuggets. The beggar might be begging a penny from people passing by without knowing what it is under his seat. Our treasure, that is, our perfect happiness is already in our inner mind. To make it ours, we have to abandon lots of desires being out of noises in mind and enter to the silence in mind.
