classes, the head trainer told a very inspiring story.
He began by drawing a stickman standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting,
he drew things like a house, a car, and a few friends inside the circle.
He asked the question, "Can anyone tell me what this is?" In a long silence, one guy decided to
throw out "the world?" The trainer said, "That"s close and this is your Comfort Zone. Inside your
circle you have all the things that are important to you. "
"Your home, your family, your friends, and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are
safe from any danger or conflict. "
"Can anyone tell me what happens when you step out of this circle?" A strong silence came over
the room. The same eager guy abruptly announced, "You are afraid. "
Another guy said, "You make mistakes. " The silence continued and the trainer smiled and said,
"When you make mistakes, what can the result be?"
The first guy shouted, "You learn something. "
"Exactly, you are learning. " The trainer turned to the board and drew an arrow pointing from the
stickman directly to the outside of the circle. He continued to say, "When you leave your Comfort
Zone you put yourself out there, in front of the world to be in situations that you are not comfortable
with. "
"The end result is that you have learned something that you did not know and you expand your
knowledge to become a better person. " He turned again to the board and drew a bigger circle
around the original circle, and added a few new things like more friends, a bigger house, etc.
"The moral of the story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone, you will never be able to
expand your horizons and learn. When you step out of your Comfort Zone you will eventually make
your circle bigger and your mind grow stronger, and all in all a better person. "

the role of gentle wife traditionally expected of Korean women.

have a bachelor"s degree because of an unfavorable concept "too smart women" here," said King, a
college senior in Seoul.
The age at which Korean women are getting hitched has risen by an average 4. 1 years over the

customers, as well as their professional standing.
"In a privately set-up blind date, you cannot be entirely sure of how much of personal information
given to you is accurate," said DUO spokesman Yon Jun.
Critics say the industry focuses more on income and status. Some of them have coined the phrase
"employage" to sum up employment and marriage.

your match with similar backgrounds through a matchmaking firm, starting a perfect marriage on the
back of parental support," said comedian Quan.
