Here’s some lovey-dovey stuff. “From The Beginning Till Now” on piano.  This song, sung by Ryu and written by Yiruma is from a Korean drama series “Winter Sonata - Main Theme”.

The series, Winter Sonata (a.k.a. Winter Ballad or Winter Love Story), directed by Yun Seok Ho, was the second part of the KBS TV drama series Endless Love. This installment was produced in March 2002 in South Korea.

It was broadcasted on Japan’s NHK and has been a major part of the (so called) Korean wave throughout Asia.  Yun Seok Ho single-handedly accomplished what politicians, social trendsetters and entrepreneurs have tried so hard for many years.
 
Winter Sonata phenomenal hit swept across Asia, creating history along its way by melting the cultural barrier between South Korea and Japan. Some say that Winter Sonata has done more politically for South Korea and Japan, than the FIFA World Cup which was co-hosted by these 2 countries in 2002.Anyway, I hope you enjoy the song.

Gifter beware! Most of us give presents with the best of intentions but fail to realize that the gifts we are about to give are actually nightmares. While nobody ever means to make such a mistake, these do occur. Here are five worst gift ideas ever to cross our paths.

1) The biggest sinner on this list of worst gift ideas ever to give is the item that tries to inject a subtle hint for what you consider a needed change in this person’s life. Well, you think this is a polite way of doing it, but generally speaking we cause more pain and trouble than it is worth. Examples of these types of gifts are things like books for losing weight, an audio book on helping someone with their memory, or even a book on finding the right match. All the recipient feel is you calling them fat, stupid, or unable to meet good people for relationships. The gift causes depression and pain i.e. the opposite of the intention you had for it.

For a start, If there is a need to pinpoint one single phenomena that could best be said to represent the idea behind Web 2.0, the answer is straight forward: blogging.

Here are among the reasons;

1) A blog such as the one you are reading right this second, is simply a website that usually feeds readers with commentary or news on a particular subject (while there are also others that function as more personal online diaries). A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, websites, and also other media related to its topic. The most important part of many, many blogs is the ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format and it could have been felt like a ‘conversation’ between the blogger and the readership.

2) Blogs have many attractions, the main one being their simplicity. Anyone who has the basic ability to run 2 fingers on a keyboard can begin to create his or her own blog.

A friend forwarded to me this story some time ago.

The Man Who Didn’t Have An Email

A jobless man applied for the position of ‘office boy’ at Microsoft.
The HR guy interviewed him, then gave him a simple test: clean the floor.

The man passed the test.

“You are hired,” the HR guy informed the man, “give me your e-mail address, and I’ll send you the application for employment, as well as the date you should report for duty.

The man replied “I don’t have an email, or a computer!”

“I’m sorry,” said the HR guy. “If you don’t have an email, that means you do not exist. And we cannot hire persons who do not exist.”

The man left with disappointment.

He didn’t know what to do as he only had $10 in his pocket.

Once that is spent, he won’t have any money to buy any food.

The man went to the supermarket and bought a crate of tomatoes with his $10.

He went from door to door and sold the tomatoes in less than two hours.

So, hear this… there’s a “new” kind of website these days - one that “FORCES” money into your pocket!

The days are now over where you were left with just “chance” on your side when it came to making money on the Internet.

A brand new “technology” has been developed that makes websites pay you by “force!”

Short of putting a gun to people’s heads and making them take their money out of their wallets and pay you without choice, this new technology might as well be the exact same thing.

This breakthrough was developed by a New York Virtual Marketing Firm, and is taking the Web by storm!

Already some pretty famous names are taking note of this new “money making invention” that “forces” money out of the Internet directly into your bank account!

A spokesperson for the NYC firm boasted proudly:

“Imagine the Worldwide-Web as an ocean of money … our new technology merely makes a way for YOU to be able to dig a big trench from that ‘cash-sea’ directly into your backyard!”

And that’s obviously a pretty amazing feat to say the very least!

The fact is; a true viral campaign gets forwarded because the recipient or the readers are compelled to do so by the glory of the content, not because of you bribed them with points or anything else.

Here is why it will not work:

Suggesting that e-mail recipients forward your message to their friends and family will not work. By simply adding a line at the bottom of your e-mail that reads “Please feel free to forward this message to your friends” is more likely to get it deleted than forwarded.

What absolutely will work:

If the offer is something worthy of sharing like a valuable discount, vital information or offering an incentive for sharing like an added discount or premium service, it will work.

Relevant or timely information, research, or studies that are included in your e-mail might also encourage the recipients to share it with their family and friends. Interactive content like a quiz or test, especially when it’s fun, will also inspire forwarding.

Jokes and cartoons are almost always forwarded to everybody the recipient knows.  Why?  Because they are entertaining in nature and entertainment is absolutely meant to be shared.

Here are the qualifying questions you need to answer before you even decide to invest in the stock market - Are you an investor? Do you have all it takes to be a stock market investor? The reality is, for some people the stock market may not suit their personality. Let’s look at what are the qualities an investor should have in order to make a reasonable return in the stock market.

Of course, there are some glorious tales that you may hear about the guy who bought some stocks for $10 and sold it some 60 days later for $50 a share.  This scenario probably has happened, but it is not the reality of being an investor. Consider the following points if you are considering of becoming an investor.

1) Are you self-disciplined in your thinking?

The first step anyone must take into account is their own personality.  Are you objectively a person who is organized in your thinking?  Have you set the amount of money that you have to invest?  Do you really know how to set objectives in your finances?  Have you set goals for savings and followed through on those objectives?  To be an investor, you need to have a clear set of objectives in your investment choice.  Is the amount of money you intend to invest a one time wind fall?  Are you able to set aside a certain amount of money each month to investing, that is disposable income?

While you might spend quite a bit of your time doing your study on which stocks to pick, it is often difficult to know when to pull out – especially for the first timer. Well, this might sounds easier - anyway, the good news is that if you have chosen your stocks carefully, you won’t need to pull out for a very long time, such as when you are ready to retire (you wish! and mine too). However, there are specific instances when you will need to sell your stocks before you even reach your financial goals.

For obvious reason, You may think that the time to sell is when the stock value is about to drop – and you may even be advised by your broker to do this (don’t just depend on them all the time). But this isn’t necessarily the right course of action.

Stocks go up and down all the time, depending on the economy and other factors, and of course the economy depends on the stock market as well. Now, this is the reason why it is so hard to determine whether you should sell your stock or not. Stocks go down, but they also tend to go back up.
