‘Here the train arrive…’

And many people get out. And they move fast. Some people go to the company with some bags in hand. Ohters, having a bite to eat, run to the school not to be late at the class. In the afternoon, in the fast food restaurant,  there are so many people to eat fast. They don’t want to waste their time. And at the late night, many people are tired and slept for a short time.

As you can see, these are our usual life. We are very busy for doing something. But, for now, Is it really right to live fast? Why don’t we think of our lives for one time?

 

Fast life has some good points. The fast livers can do more work than other usual people. By doing so, they can have more efficiency. I can easily explain the reason because it really exists in Korean history. Look at the video below.

This is a survey of public opinion related with the next president. Before one minute to reveal a survey of public opinion, one broadcasting company introduced an abridged edition of the history of Korea. After becoming an independent country and experiencing war, we restored our country and developed very quickly. As a result, you can see, we, Koreans have a very short story to become an advanced country. Many experts say that this could not be happened without the human nature of Korean, trying to do things in a very short time.

 

However, the fast life has many bad things. First, they are very pursued by the time and work. They don’t have much time to have their meals and by doing that way for lots of times, therefore they have more possibility to catch many lifestyle disease.

Not only that, by working at the late night, they don’t have much time to enjoy with their family or friends. There are lots of evidence to support. For example, look at the table below.

This is statistic that how much the depression patient increases from 2007 to 2011. As time goes by, the patients having a depression goes up! Even though we become wealthy, we can’t change the fast life Korean culture. By doing so, we can’t have enough relaxation, and get lots of stress.

 

Now, we have to think of slow life. How about we live in a slower life? Slow life means countering the rapid pace of life and urbanization and representing a balanced way of living that is about quality over quantity.

However, these days, many people think that living slowly means uncompetitive and it can make people loser. However this is not true.

 

Slow life has many good things.

First, we can have more relaxation. Having more relaxation in mind, we can understand other people more and look at the small situations. For example, we used to pass by many people that need help when we are in a hurry, but it will make us feel better to stop momentarily and help him or her before moving on. That will fulfill both person and me with a good feeling. Not only that, we can think of ourselves and can do what we really want to do. And by doing that, we can feel the small happiness more!

 I was very impressed lately by the recent movie, ‘The slow video’. The main character have the ability to see the things slowly. As we see the movie, although the main story is about love, it made me think about my life. If you have time, I recommend to see it. The video below is the preview of that movie.

Persuade : Buy a fund!

Hello guys.

I have one question.
Do you need money?
Then almost all of them say "Of course!"
However, our financial status are terrible because there are so many occasions using money.
So, I recommend some money for a fund.

Though the fund is so easy to administer, there are so many people that don't know much about it. And by that, there are so many misunderstandings! For example, many people think that fund is one of the gamble, so it is the shortcut to bankrupt. Therefore, I will explain what the fund is in easy way.


Fund can be explained easily with this picture below.

You, the lender-savers, give money to the fund manager, one of the kind of financial intermediary. these financial intermediaries invest your money in two ways. It could be the stable stock, the financial market or borrowers-spenders, other households or business firms and so on. Then the fund manager will get the principal and interest. Finally, except for the reward, you will receive all of them. That's fund.

And now, I am going to say the good points about fund.
First, fund is easy to use than the stock. In stock, they have to become a investors by themselves. However in fund, only you have to do is giving the money to the managers.

Sencond, fund is cheaper than the stock. Stock can be invested in a very large scale. However in fund, they need just some money. So, it is much burdenless. Even if the loss happened, It would be very small and It can be covered easily.

And Finally, fund is more profitable than a bank account. As the inflation rate is getting more and more serious, interest in a bank account is very uneconomical. However, fund, one of the kinds of investment, can make a profit in a very economical ways.

 

If you understand your own situation and the good point of the fund, then you have to invest the money to the fund!

Then..

You can make your own future with enough money.

Thank you.
