ABOUT ME

Hi, everyone.
My name is 'Oh, Jeong Geun'. But It's hard to pronounce. So call me 'John' or whatever you want. I majored Mechatronics, but I wasn't interested in it. So, I traveled around the world for almost an year from 2014.2 ~ 2015.2. I've traveled about 15 countries like Asia, Africa, S.America and so on.
After long-term traveling , I studied about International Development Assistance and worked in Ethiopia for 8 months.
Finally, I realized how important 'Environment' is. So now, I've been studying about Water, Soil, Climate Changes and something like these.

PHILOSOPHY

Replace my philosophy by Favorite Poem

to laugh often and much
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends
to appreciate beauty
to find the best in others
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition
to know even on life has breathed easier because you lived
this is to have succeeded

- What is success?, Ralph Waldo Emerson
