Dear all,

Good Friday morning!


Today I am very pleased to deliver you a trilogy that may make you smile and feel it¡¯s worth living.

Last weekend a local TV channel featured a piece of inspiring news of Mr. Hirotada Ototake who was born with truncated arms and legs but took the bravery to be a full-time teacher at an elementary school in Tokyo.

Like Allison Lapper, a UK mouth and foot painter born in a similar body figure who visited Seoul last year with her fully formed son, Parys, he believes he is not a disabled person but different from average people in terms of shape.


At the first meeting with his students he didn¡¯t blush but cheerfully said to them that he would welcome their reaching out a helping hand to him. He may be way mentally healthier than many of us.

Beginning Wednesday, May 11, through next Tuesday, May 17, for a week, paintings drawn by Ms. Kyung-Hay Hahn, a fourth grade disabled Oriental painter, will be on display at the Gong Gallery (Ph.: 730-1144). She had suffered from congenital cerebral palsy from birth until seven years old when she couldn¡¯t even drink water and was diagnosed to be hopeless by doctors.

Her mother persuaded her to present herself to His Holiness Sungchul, the most venerable Buddhist monk in Korea¡¯s modern history, like a drowning person trying to seize at a straw and as part of her efforts to repent her sins for a better after-life.
She asked the venerable Buddhist monk, ¡°Sir, when shall I die?¡± ¡°You shall die this evening,¡± he answered. ¡°Where shall I die?¡± she kept on asking. He replied, ¡°You should die in your home.¡± Mysteriously, she could reportedly drink water since then and was getting better to become a painter.

Water and paddy appear in her paintings on display reflecting her expectation that every viewer may feel affluence of life and peace. Maybe her imperfect and awkward smile is the most beautiful in the eye of beautiful minds.

Last but not least, Mr. Sungik Hahn, a plastic surgeon in Seoul, published a book based on his own stories: ¡°A Surgery for Ten-Thousand Won (US$10), Happiness Worth Ten-Thousand Won.¡± Dr. Hahn performs plastic surgeries to people with facial impairment for ten thousand won, such as a single lady who has no right eye due to eyeball cancer treatment, a child with one ear, a man who has to drip water into his eye due to a hole in his palate whenever he drinks water, and so on.

Initially, he did not charge for such surgeries. He began to charge ten thousand won since a girl, who had gone through surgeries twice and awaited the third surgery, disappeared to save her shattered ego from another free surgery. On top of ten thousand won he makes it a rule to call on such people to make a promise to do a good deed to somebody in return. His angelic story reminds me of the well-known cleft charity, the Smile Train (www.smiletrain.org).

What a wonderful world we are living in!

Have a terrific weekend!

[Heaven and Hell]

A man spoke with the Lord about Heaven and Hell. ¡°I will show you Hell,¡± said the Lord. And they went into a room which had a large pot of stew in the middle. The smell was delicious and around the pot sat people who were famished and desperate.

All were holding spoons with very long handles which reached to the pot, but because the handles of the spoons were longer than their arms, it was impossible to get the stew into their mouths. Their suffering was terrible.

¡°Now I will show you Heaven,¡± said the Lord, and they went into an identical room. There was a similar pot of stew and the people had the same identical spoons, but they were well nourished, talking and happy.

At first the man did not understand.
¡°It is simple,¡± said the Lord.
¡°You see, they have learned to feed each other.¡±

[Teaching Profession]

A teacher was asked to fill out a special questionnaire for the state. One question said, ¡°Give two reasons for entering the teaching profession.¡±

The teacher wrote, ¡°July and August.¡±
