Crying is a shame. Of course, there is no problem with expressing your emotion of being touched or feeling gratitude by crying. I'm talking about crying because you can't find what to say or you are so angry but you can't do anything. It is shameful because it shows that you are weak.
This is the story of the weak person. Last winter vacation, I temporally lived my brother's house in Seoul because where I live was small and countrylike city and I want to escape from there. Life in Seoul was fun and satisfying - except the big fight between me and him.
Actually before the big fight and after I arrived the house there were small conflicts. He didn't consider me as a welcome guest. I can understand that in the way that at that time he had a girlfriend and he was familliar to live alone. However, the house was rented by my parents' money and so I had a right to live there. Most importantly I didn't like him because he was so slothful even though he was supposed to study for really important test, the judicial examination. Those who hate each other living together forewarned a big fight.
He launched the first strike. He said clean up the room pointing out the cloth I didn't hang. I said, "I'm gonna wear it soon so just mind your own business." It truely makes sesne. First, the cloth and the area the cloth was on were completely in my territory, so he dont' have a right to point out. Second, it is better for him to mind his business - he should study his own thing, not nagging. He punched to my stomach, and it really hurted. I didn't punch him back, just used swear words and we quarreld for long, and I was crying. After the fight I packed all my belongings and came to my home.
I really can't stand someone's intruding on my personal space. That's why I was so angry at the fight. How can a person invade other's space by a violence? That's the most thing I can't hold back. However, because he was my older brother, I had to restrain my desire to punch him back. I just had to cry because my emotions were getting extreme and I can't do anything. What a weak person I am. I am, however, satisfied with my decision. If I had avenged on him, I would have not been even a person.
Still I'm not contacting with him. I'm completely generous and so if he apologize I would accept, but I will not apologize first because I didn't do anything wrong and if calculating the right and wrong his wrong is obviously bigger than mine. There is a korean quote saying one who is hitted sleeps stretching out his legs and one who hit can't. Well, I slept stretching out my legs at that day. :P

Hacker Spirit
"Let the hacking begin." I start to find vulnerabilities in KMLA ONLINE, my school's community website. Hacking a website is like trying to penetrate into a castle secretly. About 4 ideas flashed through my mind. Since it doesn't encrypt passwords, I can check packets going to it through the Wi-Fi set in my room. Hm, I got my roommates' ID and passwords. Oh, it doesn't have any URL validation check, the worst thing admin can do. Database is now completely in my hand. Figuratively speaking, I sent a parcel having a mind-control robot to the castle and the castle got it. What about uploading codes to the photo board? It would be really horrible attack to dotnet club which managing the website. Oh, they blocked it. Smart. Finally I can steal their session,so to say, the online ID card using scripts. So three out of four plans succeeded. It's a great achievement. I smile with a feeling of relief and satisfaction. Of course those problems are now fixed - it's a basic hacker ethics.
I know i'm not a professional or outstanding hacker. I just came into the extensive world of computer about a year ago, so it is natural that I'm a hacker of humble. The knowledge I got about hacking is limited and the sites I can hack are not Google or Facebook but just high school community site or so. However, that doesn't mean I'm not a hacker. Why? Because the real important thing about being a hacker is to get a so called 'hacker spirit.'
Hacker spirit is a firm belief in changing. It is about creating. It is about innovative ideas, and most importantly is it about fun! Think about the process of hacking. First you need to believe that the site is hackable, then you ponder how to break their protections then you execute it. If it doesn't work you need to think another idea and this process go on. You never know how fun it is if you never have 'hacked.' This is the mindset I have. I believe in any kinds of changes - and this means I find the reality now unsatisfactory -, I have a great idea to upgrade the way world working and I'm thirsty to the fun.
Watching people following the same road with a boring pace in the same direction makes me uneasy. It is a miserable reality that most of people live without hacker spirit, which will make their life as well as the world rich if they have. No matter what they say or behave, I'm gonna live as a hacker forever with a hacker spirit changing world by creating revolutionary ideas, being full of fun.

Outliers - my thoughts.
So far I've read to chapter four and many thoughts came to my mind. Actually I was somewhat reluctant to read this book because I thought it is in the category of 'self-development books' which I hate the most. Reading the book, I soon noticed that this book is a more of socioeconomic books not self-development books. It was about the success and the people who succeeded and the reason they succeeded. Its main argument is that the success is from not the person himself/herself but where he/she lived, when he/she was born and what environment did he/she lived lived through.'Outliers' has succeeded to persuade me about half, but left half unpersuaded.
Those factors Malcom indicated all compose one's success 'at now'. It is true that Bill Gates couldn't found Microsoft if Bill Gates was born in the house can't afford the expensive computer. However that doesn't mean the environment rules the success. If the conditions of Bill Gates at that moment were given to other person, can s/he also achieve the same success? Well it doesn't seem so. Suppose Bill Gates succeeded finally under completely different situation. Malcom Gladwell will now analyze Bill Gate's success and then point out his reason of success as 'the different situation'. Is it making any sense? Malcom is making a logical fallacy called Post hoc ergo propter hoc, meaning a happens first to b so a causes b. With this logic everything can be a reason for the success and making a perfect sense.
In short, Malcom successfully found the secret behind one's success, but failed to do to a general success. So the secret is meaningless and unusable. I don't know my point explained properly, I hope you get it.
