About the society which doesn't blame each other with Octonauts

About the society which doesn't blame each other with Octonauts sorting of kids animations.

There are some new experiences when taking care children and kids animation included among these lists is necessary to care them because it is so effective visually. After kids watched an animation, my name used to be changed as its characters name. There is a moment suddenly changed my name as a different charter when my kid's concern moves different animation. I had get so many names by my kids and I have different name recently according to 'Professor. Inlking' from an animation. And it is named Octonauts.

In brief this animation, there is a team of eight adventurers who live in an undersea base, the Octopod and they help and rescue living things which fall into the danger. It is very interesting because it expresses well-organized story keeping tensions. Professor. Inkling who is a character according to my name by my kids is a member of team and he is an octopus having many knowledges. And my wife is called to 'Captain. Banacles' who lead a team and he has a big social existence with lionhearted. I did envy wife's character and demanded to change my name to my kids. But they denied it and called me just 'octopus' because I don't know well like a professor they think. And my kids make their name as Kwazil and Peso who are member of a team.

The content is meaningful and interesting, which is why I see this animation with my kids often. And I had memorable an episode in Octonauts. When watching an episod which eels migrate a destination, I could get food for reflection through some scenes.

I want explain simply these scenes. Eels were moving to their destination and adventurers were running after them with an expedition ship. But strong current of the liver made to hard to control their ship. In this urgent situation, captain commanded Kwazil who is a one-eyed character like cat's shape to turns left directly. But Kwazil denied captain's command and he turned left a wheel of the ship. At the result, the ship bumped a wall of the liver and it is crushed.

In a situation like this, almost people are going to blame the person directly involved in affair and to demand an apology from him. But this episode didn't show this general situation. First, the captain and Kwazii relieve members having concerns through watching this situation through a camera. And at once, Kwazii suggest to follow eels by swimming without a ship and the captain agrees his idea with praise.

When I saw this scene, I thought they do in an indifferent way. And my wife seemed to feel similarly. After finishing this scene, we chat about that.

Wife : How think about a scene we saw some minutes ago? They seems to don't blame each other. Is it different because they are made by foreigners?
Me : I don't know well. I heard it is made by BBC.
Wife : I guess that englishman may not to blame someone. If I were on this situation, I would blame Kwazii seriously.
Me : ('It it correctly right considering your character') I agree.
Wife : Well, It is unnecessary to blame each other
Me : ..

We got a unexpected conversation thanks to Octonauts.
Through this animation, I thought a thing which blaming each other is whether a right answer or not. When I get a bad result, is it helpful to blame others to me?

Surely, I know that it can be different a case by case but this subject remains to me because I have saw so many similar situations in the company. And its end almost makes wound each other.Sometimes we used to determine an attempt to go next step after blaming someone and getting apologize from them who make a problem.

If someone were not unconditional fault, they might not even know that they have a fault. And a collision from blaming someone can be looked in concord at the moment when it is by tilted balance of power between people. But its process remains some leftover each other.

At result, an idea from Kwazii saved an eel getting into trouble in Octonauts. Surely, Kwazii had a fault that he don't listen a command of his captain and he control a handle just he want. I think that it is important how we make an effort to revise current situation rather than bring it out who is wrong because the situation is already happened.

After talking about this scene of Octonauts, I dropped by a McDonald's chain for buying burgers. My children made a noise "Fried Potato" "Fried Potato" as soon as seeing a packing of burgers on my hands. And my wife said "Did you buy fried potato?"

Why should they want fried potato of all foods? I bought a burger set including a biscuit instead of fried potato.

Then, my wife added saying.

Wife : You obviously know that kids like fried potato. don't you?
Me : Then, change them?
Wife : Huh! No.

I am scolded again from her. Although she doesn't said to change it, I have to change bugger set to one including fried potato because I clearly know next situation.

'Honey... you said it is unnecessary to blame. If you don't like a result, it can be just changed easily'

After she have to calm down, I should watch the episode again with her.
I would seem that kids remember all they heard and adults forget all they said.

A Special Day with a Movie 'Jobs'

A. Dec.25. 2013 Xmas

Last X-mas was very special for me because my wife visited her parents with our kids. I was left alone and it was my first time to rest freely for this year. I decided to watch a movie because I had never done it since I had kids. I also prepared special dinner for myself on that special day.

I didn't need to consider what movie I should watch because I knew from the start that I wanted to see 'Jobs'. It was also my first time to watch a movie through IPTV. I don’t usually purchase TV programs on virtual channel because it’s burdensome and expensive. It costs 4,000 won which is much more expensive than Starbucks’ coffee. Anyways, with a little hesitation I decided to buy programs on that day and I was so relieved and thankful because I got a free coupon. I wondered why I was not informed of this earlier.

 B. About the movie 'Jobs'

  Although I really wanted to watch the movie ‘Jobs’ when it was first released, I couldn't because of my kids and job. After reading so many negative reviews about it on the Internet, I decided to watch it anyway. I don’t recommend this movie to those who don’t know Steve Jobs. In the movie, so many events passed in a flash which makes the story improbable. Also, it doesn’t show about iPhone and iPad. I was expecting to see how these gadgets change the world in the movie but it’s only about the process to maturity.  I didn’t have fun watching the movie. In fact, I often checked my smart phone while the movie was playing. In spite of that, I have liked Steve Jobs’ quotes and respected his passion. In the movie, he repetitively said that faith could motivate coworkers and change the world. On the other hand, it’s a bit ironic when those who opposed him saw him as poor, childish and obstinate when he repetitively insisted his philosophy on others.

C. Narration from the movie

In the movie, when a conflict is finally resolved, the passage below is narrated by Steve as Mike Maclulais seen walking out.

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

When you grow up, you tend to get told the world is the way that it is,your life is just to live your life inside the world and try not to bash into the walls too much.But that’s a very limited life. 
Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact. And that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that are no smarter than you. And you can change it. You can influence it. You can build your own things, that other people can use.  It’s to shake off this erroneous notion that life is just there, and you are just gonna live in it, versus embrace it. 
Change it. Improve it. Make your mark upon it. And once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again. 

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

While listening I heard him said, 'You can change it'. Upon hearing it, I knew it was very important so I repeated the scene to jot down his narration. Fortunately, IPTV's rewind function made me it possible. However, I had a hard time jotting down accurately because I could not understand well his pronunciation and accent. Google is really great because when I typed “when you grow up” in a search bar, I got many hits. I also found out that this quote was said by him in 1995, while he was still at Next Computer. He might be considering about returning to Apple during this period.

D. After watching 'Jobs' 

What makes me jot down the quote and write this article? It touched my heart and made me remember my past and my indefinite dreams. When I entered a university, I wanted to become like Bill Gates even though I didn't know him well. I just knew that he became famous because of his huge money and dramatic success. It really fascinated me. When I joined a company, I really wanted to become like Steve Jobs. After I watched and listened to the video clip of his speech in Stanford, I became addicted to his quotes. I really want to move others just like him. I believe that his speech is powerful enough to touch others’ hearts and give hope to people who are eager to change

E. Bottom Line

I’m always eager to write my story on the blog. I thought it was really hard at first. My present bears no resemblance to the past of Steve Jobs. I was inspired when he said, “You can change it.” Thanks to this quote, I want to dream again.
