  • relinquish : There are so many things to do in your life or work. You have to prioritize tasks based on the impact or importance. Otherwise you end up completing less important tasks. you have to relinquish less important tasks. 

  • make someone do sth: If you want to up your career ladder quickly. you must know how to delegate work to someone else in your team. you should know how to motivate them and make them work for you and themselves. 

  • let someone do sth: one of the issue to assign a task to employee is tricky. we needed someone to distribute tasks. it required a lot of interaction between people. it didn't work well. Instead we just create a lot of potential tasks into issue tracking system. just let them choose their next task. it's been working pretty well since then.

  • get someone to do sth: if someone ask to me what's the hardest to thing to do? then i would answer. it's get my son to do something that i want him to do.


  1. Do you think it's good to make friends online?
    I think it’s good to have. Why not? but it definitely has a different purpose compared to conventional friends. They usually get to know each other for a specific purpose. For example, if you want to join a specific study club online. All these friends have the same purpose. They don’t usually talk about private things much like real friends. I think that is a big difference. but it makes you expand your life boundary much larger. but the depth is less.

  2. What are the disadvantages of social networking apps? it literally gets rid of my spare time pretty easily. Once I start using SNS app, time flies. If i review my SNS activities objectively, There are nothing useful scenarios.

  3. Why do you use social networking apps? just want to consume latest news/article or something. or find information from the internet. that's it.

  4. How often do you use social networking applications? My phone has an ability to track how i use the phone. it shows time spent for each app and each category. for me, it's around 1 hour per day. I must get rid of this time.

SEWU - May 11

sit out

Every mother has instincts to protect their child. my wife is same. Whenever my son try to do some modestly risky action,  my wife interrupts and tried to stop it. just because it's little dangerous not much. I think it prevents my son from learning lessons from them. So I always talks to my wife. please give him an opportunity to fail. My wife should learn how to sit things out.
