		<description><![CDATA[Paul Graham, a successful serial entrepreneur and my biggest idol, just published another thought-provoking essay &#8211; After Credentials.

Interestingly, he was referring to a New York Times article on Korean education system. Having grown up in Korea till 16, I had experienced it myself and am in complete agreement with him. I was an odd kid [...]]]></description>

I left home a little after 9AM, and the Vice President, Joe Biden were just taking an oath. A few minutes later, Barack did and started his speech. He was still making a speech when I arrived at work, and I stayed in the car [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I need to read through my emails better. Especially when it&#8217;s written in Korean, I tend to just glaze over and that gets me into trouble. Anyhow, there was an email from Bayarea K Group about some economic forum being held in SF, sponsored by a so-called &#8220;Wall Street Journal of Korea.&#8221; I didn&#8217;t realize [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
That phrase, Never Give Up, is so simple and commonly used that it is beginning to lose its meaning after several times hearing it. A few weeks ago, I saw a glimpse of Randy Pausch’s last lecture on PBS. The title of slide was “Never Give Up”. I have heard about his last lecture at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may sound strange, but many people have expressed the same opinion.
NOW is the best time to start a company. 
I was reading an article from the latest Wired magazine, &#8220;Back to the Garage: How Economic Turmoil Breeds Innovation&#8221; which gives an example of Tom Siebel who started Siebel Systems in 1993 when economy was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ample amount of free time gives me an ideal opportunity to read up on books (when I am not slacking off watching TV or browsing the web). However, I find myself always gravitated towards business and entrepreneurship books the most.
I am involved with a professional organization called &#8220;Bay Area K Group&#8220;, and while it mostly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have finished the book. I skipped some chapters that I didn&#8217;t find interesting.

I had this belief before, but it was confirmed in the book. Most of successful startups are childrent of acccidental success. Most founders didn&#8217;t set out to build these big empires. Most of them were quite surprised at their own success. How [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently picked up a book called Founders at Work. I thought I&#8217;ve heard about it when I was trying out my start-up in 2006, but it has copyright date of 2007. It is a collection of interviews of founders at various (successful) start-ups.
There are definite similarities between all these successful founders.

I had a conversation with someone who has been quite successful as a serial entrepreneur. Since I have a lot of spare time, I wanted to pick his brain and get some pointers what I could follow his footsteps. His brief answer was that he just had been lucky, right place at the right [...]]]></description>

Of course, in retrospect if I knew differently or better, I wouldn&#8217;t have made those mistakes. A wise man once told me that a smart person would learn from others&#8217; mistakes, and it is so right. Come to think of [...]]]></description>
