Many people think that patience is a sign of weakness. I think this is a mistake. It is anger that is a sign of weakness, whereas patience is a sign of strength.

What’s past is past, nothing can change that. But the future can be different if we choose to make it so. We have to cultivate a vision of a happier, more peaceful future and make the effort now to bring it about. This is no time for complacency, hope lies in the action we take.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Modern education pays little attention to inner values and yet our basic human nature is compassionate. We need to incorporate compassion and warm-heartedness into the modern education system to make it more holistic.

@jamiegoode Generally best to avoid anything advertising a 90+ point score in a New Zealand supermarket like the plague.

[Joshua Hall @winekorea88]

@jamiegoode Yes there is a serious score inflation problem in NZ. Some supermarket listerine labels getting 93 pts. It's damaging the market. A dive down.

Somaek is still the drink of choice for Koreans but imported beer and "hand-made" (craft) beer continues to rise. https://t.co/AlexCdpR6K #Craftbeer #Korea #beernews

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We need to strengthen such inner values as contentment, patience and tolerance, as well as compassion for others. Keeping in mind that it is expressions of affection rather than money and power that attract real friends, compassion is the key to ensuring our own well-being.

Surprise! As S. Korea's economy goes down, soju sales go up.

Into the wine trench, where barracudas patrol, pinot noir does the ballet, gin pirouettes, sweet vermouth parleys and then I say Islay.

Why don't tourists want to come back to Seoul? There's nothing to do there, they complain.
