CURRENT MISSION

I will travel in South America later in 2013. I want to meet philosophers, playful nymphs, wonderful wimps, friendly chimps, eat some shrimps, camp under the stars, stay with shamans, climb the mountains, learn the beauty of life...

ABOUT ME

I'm an ex-nerd trained in math, physics, and philosophy.

My current fascination is to live life outdoors as a human, not just in an ivory tower.

My old hobbies are: poetry, films, mythology, comparative religions, New Age, Classical Music, Jazz Music.

What have I done: some computer programming and internet developments, ran some websites, taught math/physics.

What I am focusing on this year? : an intiation of triggering global education reform as weel as my online business so that I can travel around without worrying about money much.

One of my website (although I haven't updated for a logn time): www.firstrayoflight.com

PHILOSOPHY

"My life is the cosmos.
My space is everywhere.
My time is timeless.
Our belief is timeless blissful unity."
- Dongchan Lee

" Perfection is an illusion pursued by human's limited imaginations, perfected by human's self-glorifications, and perpetuated by human dismissals against the wreckage of time." - myself

"If u r in the mood for laughter, get out of yourself.
If u r in the mood for life, get up, sing and dance.
If u r in the mood for love, go to your sacred heart.
If u r in the mood for all, come to me."
- me my new self and my future self

Today, I try to act in accordance with what I am going to challenge myself at the end of today. "Did I live fully? Did I love fully? Did I let go fully?", I'll ask to myself as I go to bed as if I'm going to die tonight. - Dongchan Lee

~ Fear comes from this selfish idea of cutting one's self off from the universe. -Swami Vivekananda

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I am not super proud of my past so far and I never look back. Instead, I try to be in the moment to live my life more fully, but since the question is set up to trick me, i may say that sometimes I have been amazed at myself for my sheer creative productivity in short time.

One year, I wrote over a thousand poems.

2 weeks, i posted over 500 articles for my website.

I can write 2 hour movie scripts within 15-20 hours. I have written like 15 of them or so and there has been no exception.

If I sit down in front of a piano, probably I can improvise music day and night for days till I get hungry.

I know these are not one thing. There is no one thing I am too proud of myself, but I tend to be prolific and reasonably productive...

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I really suck at drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes, but other than that, I can handle many things where many other people struggle ;) as I have no problem singing or dancing without a drop of alcohol.
