One enemy is more dangerous than a hundred allies.

If this feels too far from reality,
if your likes and dislikes are clear and your convictions are firm,

then only one thing needs to be made clear.
Know clearly who is on your side and who is not.

The difference in opportunity cost between reality and developers

Even if the program is free, people do not want to pay even the tuner fee.
Even if the tuner company gives the program away for free,
even if consumers like it,
they still care more about learning and maintaining the program itself.

The role of the PM
Technology and planning matter, but the major role is to build alternatives for how a team can and should actually move.


-----

Free software and apps often need to be better in quality and functionality than paid ones.
People use paid software out of need, but free software is randomly used by an unspecified public, so it is installed easily and deleted easily.
To survive for a long time under those conditions, free software needs much higher quality.

IT trends


As services and social welfare improve,

the meaning of stand-alone revenue models is gradually weakening.

The fusion of content and technology has become the basis of service creation.

Revenue sharing among participating companies and participating customers, such as bloggers, will become an issue, and that in turn will raise a fundamental problem of sustaining content production through motivation.


So for free services, a revenue structure based on advertising,

along with an easy and natural payment interface that allows premium paid options, will become an important business item.


Business will gradually flow from

1. hardware -> 2. knowledge -> 3. content -> 4. search -> 5. payment.


The need for n-screen

grew as the influence of content expanded. Competition among suppliers to deliver diverse content across many devices made it necessary for one solution to support many different uses.

But companies hesitated to invest because of issues such as payment, security, and copying.

At the time there was not even a language that could really standardize it.


When payments between consumers and suppliers

and the setting and sharing of copyright over written content

become freer, another major shift will occur.

When you do not trust someone, you place limits on that person.


Whatever you are trying to achieve, creating opportunities is crucial.

New ideas need opportunities in order to succeed.

We need to trust ideas a little more and place more hope in them.



Gartner analyst Milanesi
pointed to the reinvention of the tablet as a key factor in Apple’s success.
 
He said many tablet makers were making the same mistake seen during the iPhone boom by focusing on hardware performance over applications, services, and overall user experience, even though tablets depend on those elements far more than smartphones do.

-----------------

Being grateful for small but beautiful and gentle details,

the art I am talking about is not Beethoven, Bach, or Picasso.
It is simply loving something in itself and letting that love dissolve into daily life.

Not merely as a youthful ideal,
but from elementary school children to elderly grandparents,
it means truly seeing and feeling the different repeated todays reflected across each stage of life.

-----------------

I think I understand why a good-natured newcomer can matter more than a merely smart one.
Sensitivity, sense, and the ability to blend in matter...

-----------------
 

Those who build walls decline; those who pave roads prosper.

Water can float a boat, but it can also overturn it.


Do not merely teach a boat-builder technique;

let them experience going out on the boat, catching fish, and even the excitement of traveling abroad.


You must be able to give people the chance to speak.

---------------------------

Last year we discovered the leadership mentoring style of Park Kallin.
At times strong and at times infinitely gentle, that mentoring process identified each person’s character, placed them where they fit best, and brought them together into harmony.

Rather than trying to remake or fix people, it revealed the value already inside the mentee and amplified its meaning through storytelling.

In this era of mentor hunger, we are thirsty for mentoring.
That is why bookstores are overflowing with commanding forms of mentoring that say “do it this way,” “fix this,” or “change that if you want to succeed.”
But is that really true mentoring?
Who is really in a position to teach and fix whom? What deserves attention now is mentoring that looks closely, discovers the value within, and helps draw it out and amplify it. 

--------------------

There are many people who are better than I am.
But there is no one who does it exactly the way I do.
That is the thought.
We must learn how to shine on our own.

Everyone envies everyone else.
These worries that are driving me mad right now...
That, in the end, is Byeon Chan-su.

Is pansori art?
Doesn’t art have to be created?
Only when tradition firmly supports it can creation grow into another tradition.

Performance culture is not built only by refined audiences or wealthy audiences.
It needs spaces where ordinary neighborhood men, women, sons, and daughters can approach it easily, but seriously and continually.
As those everyday experiences become familiar and the number of moments of empathy and connection increases,
the cultural level of the city and of everyday life rises, not just the culture of performance itself.
