Living wealthy is one thing, and living nice is another. You can live nice by getting along with others through good communication. Language and culture are, of course, integral parts of this communication. Even if you were extraordinary and well-recognized back in Korea, chances are you are nobody here in New York. You were once a person driven by ego, but now you find it unnecessary. I had my heart broken when I saw my little daughter snuggling up to me following the birth of her brothers. Her face was telling me to give her more love and hugs. Then, it got me thinking that my mom might have felt the same with me before. And here I am to share with you what I learned from my daughter and what you might have experienced already while desperately adapting to this foreign place. This message is something that you will eventually learn in times of hardship, and we all have to bear it in mind when we find ourselves feeling insignificant.

This lecture is part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Public Diplomacy Project.
