When I went to department store I visited Polo shop and I picked up a shirt.

Do you guess how much it was?? 1790000won!! I droped it. -_-;; 

Why just “A shirt” price is soooooooooo expensive??

Becuase it was “Polo” shrit?? 

Despite it was tooooo expensive but I wanted it.

Why? why I wanted that shrit? it was as same design with cheaper cloths.

I think beause of only “Polo”mark. Poeple think when they dress expensive brand cloths others look them more higher and important and also themselves have self-confidence.

is it true??

Do you guys know Neil Boorman? He wrote “Bonfire of the Brands.”

He bonfire all of his brand goods and he confess he is brand addictor.

And he said if you buy brand goods for show off other people you are brand addictor.  because that goods are maybe actually don’t need to you. And also he said even if you dress that kinds of brand cloth your value is not higer than now.

 But why we want expensive brand goods? Why they are look great?

Do you know the bestseller book, ‘secret’? I have read the book. I believe you have already read this book or heard about the book once at least. This book deals with interesting secrets about our lives. Therefore, I want to introduce this book and relations between the Bible and this one.

           First of all, in a word, what the author wants to say is that whatever we wish and think comes true in reality of our lives. You probably wonder what it means. She says that if we focus on the wealth, we are becoming wealthier, and positive thinking about health condition brings healthy body and mind. Her saying in this book is simple and looks proper. However, in fact, we are likely to think of negative things, and as a result, bring bad thing ourselves in consequence of negative thinking. I believe this simple teaching makes you live better lives.

           Furthermore, his book has common features with Bible. If you have knowledge of Bible, you can recognize this fact. For example, if you want to receive something, you can follow three steps. First, asking for what you want, then believe, and receive that. She also says that those steps come from Bible. Except those things, you can find many similarities with the Bible. However, there is a different point of view between them. While Bible is focused on God as main body of doing something, this book concentrated on human. If you read the book, ‘Your Best Life Now’ by Joel Osteen, it will be helpful to understand what I have mentioned above.

           How about read this book? This book is attractive to reader because better life is what all people in the world really want. I believe this reason also contributes this book to be one of the bestseller. Think positively and act as one’s dream comes true. Finally, I want to give this message to you and myself.

   Have you ever heard of this word? It’s generally known as Golden Miss in Korea and the number of alpha girls is tending upwards. As a woman who wishes to be one of them, I would like to write something down about it.  

   Alpha girls are so-called women who have high educational backgrounds and afford to do anything they want. They usually don’t get married and live alone enjoying their gorgeous lives. Moreover, their common interests are fashion, beauty, and cosmetic and leisure activities. At first, I thought they are pathetic because it seemed like an excuse to me for not being able to find perfect men for them. However, as time goes by and I’m getting older, I believe that being an alpha girl is pretty much cool and is exactly what I want to be.   

   First, they can enjoy and work without any responsibilities about husbands and kids. It’s not quite surprising that many of women especially in Korea stop working after getting married and too busy with the care of their families to spend some time for themselves. They can whatever sports they want to do and go wherever they want to go which they would’ve never had chances to do if they just get married. Moreover, they also can work as much as they want and that will give them wealth as well as good position in their workplace.   

   Second, they have power over men. I believe that the only reason why men have more authorities in society is because they make more money than women. However, it doesn’t apply to alpha girls because a lot of these qualified women earn much more fortune than any other men. They even can speak up on certain issues and insist their opinion against men.   

   Women have to be competent for special areas in order to enjoy our lives and not to be controlled by men. An age of patriarchy and gender discrimination has gone and it’s time for women to speak their voice up. To do so, being an alpha girl can be one of alternatives.
