On September 19th, 2021, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company will fully complete autonomous driving technology of level 5 by the end of 2021. A self-driving car refers to a car that identifies the situation with various sensors such as precise maps and GPS and visits the destination on its own without the driver operating a handle, accelerator pedal, or brake. A level of the self-driving car is divided into 6 stages from 0 to 5. From level 4, the driver doesn¡¯t have to control the car. Not only Tesla but also domestic companies are preparing for the commercialization of self-driving cars in earnest.
 
Last semester, I faced lots of hardships and challenges. The biggest was the sudden and unexpected passing of my elderly grandmother. While it is perfectly natural for people to age and die, it caught me off guard, and I could hardly hide my grief when I received the news. I spoke to her a few weeks prior to her death, and it felt unreal that she was now no longer with us. I used to have a ¡®bucket list,¡¯ of things I wanted to do in the future. The first thing I wrote on my list was ¡®Having a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant with my grandmother and family.¡¯ However, before achieving this, my grandmother left, and I thought ¡°Why didn¡¯t I try to do this earlier?¡±
 
 
Tokyo Olympics was held from last July 23rd to August 8th. The Olympics is the world¡¯s largest comprehensive sports festival. Plus, the Winter and Summer Olympics have been held every four years since 1896 under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee. Especially, the Summer Olympics is the biggest event on the Earth. Athletes from various sports events in the Olympics aim to participate only in the Olympics and win medals for 4 years. Especially, Tokyo 2020 Olympic was postponed because of COVID-19, athletics who had prepared for Tokyo Olympics practiced and tried for 5 years.
 
I visited my grandmother this weekend. Her house is located in a very small village, just below Mt. Geum-oh in Chilgok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Due to its location just below the mountain, my grandmother¡¯s village is hard to reach. Amazingly, it is such a clean area that there is no fine dust and no COVID-19 at all.
 
These are lines from the recently ended Korean drama ¡®Navillera.¡¯ In this drama, there is a story related to the challenge of a seventy-year-old grandfather who challenges himself to finally pursue his childhood dream of doing ballet. However, unlike the main character in the drama, many people live their lives without a dream. They study hard in high school, with the goal of entering a good university, and try to get a stable or high-paying job.
 
1n the 1980s, Japan was the richest country in the world, and there was even an expression stated that ¡°Japan can buy the United States when Japan sells Tokyo.¡± Actually, according to the Wall Street Journal, in 1988, 33 of the world¡¯s 50 largest companies were Japanese by market capitalization – indicators of how large the stock market is – and, 16 Japanese companies ranked 20th. In addition, the world¡¯s No.1 company was NTT in Japan, and IBM in USA followed as No.2 NTT¡¯s market capitalization was more than three times that of IBM.
 
Food is an essential part of existence for everyone. If you don¡¯t eat anything all day, your nerves are on edge and you can¡¯t concentrate on your work. Above all, cooking is extremely special, because you could feel colorful emotions. When I get a gloomy feeling, there are three movies I like to watch to shake off the bad sentiment. Through movies, you can experience the magic that makes you all fuzzy and warm. 
 
A few days ago, my friend sent me a troubling message which read, ¡°I feel like I wasted my life.¡± As I listened to her closely, she was quite worried about human relations and stressed because of them. Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher, got it right when he asserted ¡°Human beings are social animals¡± and no one can live alone. People hang out together and maintain relationships by forming a society and continually interacting with others. Human relations are important because we have to live by interacting with others.
 
The renowned French thinker Jean-Paul Sartre said, Life is C between B and D. This means life is ¡°Choosing between Birth and Death.¡± Everyone lives and is placed in numerous moments of choice. In addition to choosing inconsequential things, such as a meal from a menu, there are situations where I have to make consequential choices like a place to stay in the future.
 
Marriage is a highly symbolic institution or ceremony that has legally binding effects, and it has the very important role of forming families. Not so long ago, people who did not get married in Korea were not treated as properly equal people. Nowadays, however, many think that marriage is not a family-to-family system, but a process of individuals meeting individuals. That fundamentally changed the perception of marriage.
 
Now that Corona 19 is in vogue, many companies, schools, and others work or take lectures remotely. People might think working remotely is a perfect situation, especially for introverts. They have their invisible room behind the computer, and their tops may be suits, but their bottoms may be pajamas. However, this situation may very well not be a total bargain for most people including introverts.
 
In the famous fairy tale The Little Prince, there is the story of ¡®The Elephant and the Hat¡¯. The story begins with a picture drawn by the writer. Adults look at the picture of the writer and say, ¡°That looks like a hat.¡± and they are convinced it¡¯s ¡®a hat¡¯, but the little prince says it¡¯s ̔a boa snake that swallowed an elephant¡¯. And in this way the author criticizes narrow-minded thinking with his famous line, ¡°The most important thing is invisible.¡± And the story was praised by many experts and readers.
 
A person¡¯s voice is like an instrument played. Perhaps the most powerful sound in the world. It¡¯s because only human beings are able to cause war through words or say they love someone. Words play such an important role. However, sometimes when people talk, they think that the other person is not focused on what they are saying. Why? How can you get the other person to want to hear what you are saying? Furthermore, how can you speak so powerfully that you can make a difference in the world?
 
According to a survey conducted by Embrain Trend Monitor on No Kids Zones, 6 out of 10 adults (60.9%) felt uncomfortable in public places due to noise problems or dangerous situations such as collisions with infants and children under the age of 13. While there is a consensus that some sanctions are needed in connection with the problems and risks caused by children in public, 66.1% of all respondents expressed their support for No Kids Zones.
 
Many successful people say that even though time is given equally to everyone, your life will vary according to how you spend it. Although everyone knows the importance of time, it is still not easy to spend time efficiently. Especially, there are too many temptations, like smartphones, to waste time pointlessly. According to the 2019 Korean Level of SmartPhone Dependence Survey, conducted by the Ministry of Science/ICT and National Information Society Agency, 20% of Korean daily lives were disrupted by smartphones in 2019. Many people, including me,
 
This year, many things happened all over the world because of the corona virus outbreak. Especially in Korea, the response to Corona 19 has drawn international attention. For example, some heads of state urgently requested direct access to Korea¡¯s Corona 19 diagnostic kits. The efforts of countless medical staff and citizens in Korea have greatly reduced the number of confirmed cases. It is abundantly clear that Korea¡¯s response to the Corona 19 outbreak was significantly different than other countries.
 
The film Parasite won four awards at this year¡¯s Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best International Feature Film. When I heard that a Korean film won the first Oscar, I watched the movie again. A closer look at the film ensured that the depictions and expressions that I missed the first time caught my eye. Also, the ability for director Bong Joon-ho to bring out the intended acting skills in the actors became even more impressive.
 
A few days ago, I watched ¡®I Met You¡¯, the virtual reality human documentary. This documentary is about a mother who lost her seven-year-old daughter, Nayeon to a rare and incurable disease. After four years of separation she was able to interact with a VR version of her daughter. Thus, before watching the documentary I was wondering how meeting her daughter, conjured up by VR technology, could possibly console her mother. Actually, ¡®virtual reality¡¯ and ¡®comfort¡¯ are not compatible at all. However, the mother was greatly consoled when she was finally able to meet the child.
