Love

To miss someone so badly, and to wish someone back and walk together that path so badly is rare. To love someone, and to receive the same love back with that someone is rare. What more can be important when you have found that special one for one another?

We call that special connection: love.

The Little Prince

Everyone has at least one all-time-favorite book. For me, the Little Prince is a little book with life time messages that I continually go back to. As we look out for another year, I wanted to share some of them. The quotes below are some reasons why I continue to love the Little Prince. For those who have not read it or have forgotten it, I hope these remind you of something special within you.

Happy New Year. May your 2012 be a year full of love, joy and happiness.

The 1914 Christmas Miracle

The Christmas Truce in 1914 was a moment of unexpected miracle during the First World War. Right up until Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, German, Scottish and French soldiers fought as no other war. All three parties had a reason and was not going to turn back. But when Christmas Eve arrived the holiday spirit pranced through the trench. And for a full 48 hours there was a moment of peace and humanity that no men could have ever expected.

The 2006 film Joyeux Noel depicts this warm Christmas spirit.

A night before Christmas Eve, such movies remind us of what human heart could do. There is snow outside tonight. It looks like we are going to have a very white Christmas, a kind that we haven't seen often in Korea.


Merry Christmas with love

Extraordinary Merry Christmas

Extraordinary Merry Christmas.

The greatest gift of all is to be able to give back to those who you love.
Another year has gone by. And it would not have been the same without them.

Thank you 2011.

See you soon 2012. Another extraordinary year awaits us.

Merry Christmas!

Clausewitz

"In the beginning, Clausewitz wrote to change an army; in the end, he wrote as devils chewed his soul. No happy man thinks deeply or writes well." (p.xvii)

"Clausewitz had the gift that comes to few men of seeing clearly then drwaing universal conclusiosn from the partiality of experience. Intuitively, he spotted relationships where others saw only disparate events and sensed the constants underlying the disruptions of his age." (p. xi)

- Introduction to the On War, Clausewitz by Ralph Peters.
