It Doesn't Matter How Old You Are

Hyo Jin Moon September 17, 2006 Belvedere, Tarrytown, NY

I apologize that last week I incorrectly spelled the names of Yeon Ah nim, Hyo Jin nim's wife and Ryuichi Fujita the executive producer of definingmoment.tv. I hope that I have the correct spelling now. Thanks to those that E-mailed the corrections to me.

Here are my notes from Hyo Jin nim's speech Sunday 17 September 2006.

My ability to convey what was actually said is limited. These at most convey some sense of what Hyo Jin nim said and are not a verbatim record. Please go to: http://definingmoment.tv/ to see some of what Hyo Jin nim is speaking about.

Did you check it out? (Referring to http://definingmoment.tv/ web site)

It's OK? Just keep it coming.

Well it's got a format so as much as we can invite (people to do interviews), you can e-mail suggestions about what you're interested in, anything, information that you would be useful to you. Let us know. We can do it.

At the same time we can develop new characters too.

These days more than any other time it doesn't matter how old you are. Obviously young people live under the pressure to be something great, something that can be in the limelight as quick as they can if it is doable. They need to really prove them selves because there are so many ways to put a spotlight on an individual. You can deliberately do it to your self or because of what ever circumstances, because of whatever occupation you are choosing an inquisition is on your tail.

People want to know what the best trend is; whatever it is at all times. In order to actually find some kind of success in today's world you have to go through that scrutiny. That's the kind of reality that my children will face, that young people are facing, today's people in whatever profession that you're involved in have to contend with just to further their carriers.

Having said that, how do you go about achieving a reality where you can actually do something and that you can compete and win? Obviously with something like this ( http://definingmoment.tv/ ) if we have more of it would be better.

For our church we can provide an incentive to seek out and further individual aspirations and understanding so that you can ultimately have control over your destiny and what ever responsibility that you might have at hand. Ultimately in order for you to be successful put aside your success for a while and just deliver your expectation. (what's expected from you). Do your responsibility and you have to be up to whatever the standard of the present might be. That dictates what you have to deliver in the end. It doesn't matter what other people tell you. That's about it.
