First Snow this year| 2024년 첫눈

Dec 12-2024, by Cha, Kang Soek (차강석)

The first snow falls freely like white butterflies

Flowers begin to bloom on the branches
The buds of flowers quickly change to plates

Oh, oh... Bam!
Swoosh, swish! Oh!
Squeak, squeak! Bam!
 첫눈이 흰나비처럼 자유낙하 한다
나뭇가지에서는 꽃이 피기 시작한다
꽃들은 봉우리에서 접시로 금방 변한다

어, 어... 꽝당!
쓱 쓰~윽!
끽 끼~익! 쾅!

For what you see yourself

By Sooyoung Kim, written on Feb 23, 2020

Don't compare
with others

about wealth and career

Choose Always
to challenge yourself

not for what others see you
but for what you see yourself
비교하지마
다른 사람과
 
재산과 직업에 대해
 
선택해 항상
너의 도전을
 
남이 보는 널 위해서 말고
너가 보는 널 위해서

Samjeongseung | Three great scholar | 삼정승 | 三政丞

Nov 27-2024, by Cha, Kang Seok (차강석)

   On an early autumn day
A chestnut was thrown
into the dark shadows.

Under the sunlight and moonlight
Making a key out of the inner shells of the egg
When it gets out of the thorns
It was abandoned.

With countless thorns
imprisoning three great scholars
there was the chestnut in the dark shadows
   설익은 가을 날
밤송인 어둑어둑한
그늘로 내동댕이쳐졌다

햇볕과 달빛을 받으며
보늬로 열쇠를 만들어
가시를 헤치고 나오려는
순간, 밤들은 버려졌다

무수히 많은 가시로
三政丞을 가두고 있는
어두운 그늘 속 밤송이

* 밤은 맛과 영양이 매우 좋아, 한 밤송이에 세 개의 밤알들을 우의정, 좌의정, 영의정이라 해서 삼정승이라고도 함.
** 보늬 : 밤알의 속껍질.

If you were water

By Sooyoung Kim, written on Feb 17, 2020

If you were water flowing 
down and down
 
Pass by stream,
Past the river
I Hope that you reach to the sea
 

It's also okay for you to go to the clouds in the sky,
and become a sweet rain
 

I hope that you always move.
 

If you have to stay in a bowl
 
I hope that:
you are included In a bowl that should be put in

 
I pray earnestly that:
you don’t be rotten 
In the stagnant water

김수영 씀, 누구를 위해서 쓴 시인지 잊었음 - Feb 13, 2024

아래로 아래로
흐르는 물이라면
 
내를 지나
강을 지나
바다로 가길 바라오
 
하늘 구름에게로 가
단비가 되어도 좋소
 
언제나 움직이길 바라오.
 
당신이
만약
그릇 안에 담겨야 한다면
 
당신이
담겨야 하는 그릇에
담기길
 
간절히 기도하오.
 
 
고인 물이
되어
썩지 않길 바라오

Foods to increase serotonin in our body

Some people (Depression, Insomnia, Fibromyalgia, Migraine and other headaches, severe premenstrual syndrome etc) take tryptophan supplements but maybe intake foods to increase serotonin in our body!!!

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that's important for mood, sleep regulation, and appetite

Tryptophan-rich foods
Chicken, turkey, fish, beef, pork, nuts, seeds, tofu, cheese, eggs, oats, beans, lentils, spinach, dates, bananas, and dark chocolate 
How much tryptophan per day?Tryptophan is found in both plant and animal proteins, although animal proteins tend to have more and it's easier for your body to break it down and use it. Animal-based proteins like meat, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, and yogurt are called complete proteins because they have all nine of the essential amino acids, including tryptophan. Some plant-based proteins like quinoa, soy, and buckwheat (groats) are also complete proteins that have tryptophan.Only small amounts are necessary for healthy nutrition in most people. In the U.S., the average person takes in about 826 milligrams a day of tryptophan, while the estimated average requirement (EAR) for most adults is 4-5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day. For a 70-kilogram (154-pound) adult, that's about 280-350 milligrams a day. The EAR for infants and children up to about 2 years old is 13-17 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day.

Me in Others

For my team, while working at ExosomePlus, Inc,
Feb, 14, 2020, Written by Sooyoung Kim

I see myself in others.

He has the image that I want to have.
Both firmness and leisure in his years

Another he
has the image of my past and future.
He is not perfect, but confident, so I like him.

Another
makes me reflect on the my image that I did not have in my past

She
has passion and responsibility for work so
I cannot dislike her even if she did make mistakes.

Another she
has perfect sense, sincerity, and accuracy
Which gives me the joy of working together with her.

I see myself from my colleagues up, down, left, and right at work,
and I see my past mistakes

Learning how to work together and
getting used to each others, which
is becoming one team with trust

Even if nothing remains later
This moment is tearfully happy.
내 모습이 보인다
 
어떤이에겐
내가 담고 싶은 내 모습이 있다.
연륜 속의 확고함과 여유로움
 
어떤이에겐
내 과거와 미래 모습이 있다.
완벽함이 없이 어수룩하지만 자신감있는
그래서 정겹다
 
어떤이에겐
과거 내가 가지지 못한 모습에
나 자신을 반성하게한다
 
어떤이에겐
일에 대한 열정과 책임감
잘못이 있어도 싫어할수 없다
 
어떤이에겐
완벽한 센스, 성실함, 정확함
함께 일하는 즐거움을 준다
 
직장에서의 상하 좌우로 내 모습이 있고
과거의 내 잘못도 보인다
 
함께 일을 하는 법을 배우고
익숙해 진다는건
믿음을 갖고
한 팀이 되는것
 
나중에 아무것도 남지 아니한다해도
이 순간이 눈물겹게
행복하다

자각(自覺)

2024. 11. 04. 차강석 씀

 달력을 의식 할 수 없었을 때는
사람들이 무시해도 ‘장애인이니까……’
당연한 줄 알고 음습(陰濕)한 곳에 숨었다

진흙을 묻히고 나왔을 때는
안개 속에서 사람들이 같은 땅을 밟고
같은 하늘 밑에 살고 있다는 것을 깨달았다

낙조가 왜 슬픈지를 알았을 때는
나도 사람들과 함께 살아가기 위해
몸부림 쳐 보지만……?
Realization

written by Cha, Kang-Seok, Nov 04-2024; translated by Kim Sooyoung

When I was not aware of the calendar and others ignored me,
I found the reason that I'm disabled and hid in a damp place, thinking it was deserved.

However, when I came out, covered in mud,
I realized that people walk and live in the fog
on the same land and under the same sky.

Since I recognized that sunsets are sad
I struggle and squirm to live with people.
But... ...?
