Hi, I'm Sophie. This channel is English version of  "Korean Newyorker's Diary". If you want to listen to it in Korean, or if you're interested to improve your Korean language skills, please go check that out. I've uploaded 9 episodes so far in that Korean channel since I last started podcasting a week ago, I'm not sure if I could catch it up all that in English but I'll try my best.

Let's begin with the shortest one - the second episode : Do you need to get all your ducks in a row?

In Rob Moore's book, "Start Now. Get Perfect Later", there's an expression that comes out several times: Getting all my ducks in a row.

This expression illustrates the people who want to put everything in order in a perfect manner before getting started with anything, and oftentimes, failed to start anything. I drew that picture in my mind. When I walk around my neighborhood, I can see sometimes cute little baby ducklings following their mommy duck. They don't follow their mom exactly in line, but they never fall that far behind either. Such a beautiful scene that I love to see each time. And here is the thing. Even though the ducklings follow their mom in line, they are constantly moving and it's impossible to stay perfectly in line. Above all, they are living creatures!

We are all facing the uncharted waters with COVID 19 pandemic these days, and we stay home a lot longer than usual with all our family members in. It could be a great opportunity to get closer to each other but at the same time, it could also be easier to get into conflicts with each other.

Everyone should have their own value that they are sure which is correct. I also do. For example, my house or my living space should be at least this much tidy and neat, or 'if you have any remaining food, you've got to put it completely sealed and keep it refrigerated, especially in the summer, right?"

When something goes outside the boundary that you set as correct, you get upset or you may even get mad with the other person or show attitude towards him or her. It could be that you are getting angry because the ducks are not in a row. Even though you think it is absolutely important to correct, chances are it's really not big a deal. So, it would be a shame if you get mad with your beloved ones or break your inner peace because of that.

Do you have your family members or flat mates living together and sharing house chores with you? Do you have your mom or mother-in-law taking care of your baby? Do you have your spouse working day and night to make a living for your family? How grateful that is! How lovely it is! Let's not get pissed off with trivial things that doesn't deserve our attention. Let's love each other. Then, even better if you say it out loud. Thank you. I love you.

Thank you for listening to my story, have a great day!
