They say that while studying at home, they start to check new messages posted on their blogs, but end up going through other people's blogs, photos, comments, etc.

Suyeon Lee (21, college student) Some people complain that smartphones prevent them from building meaningful relationships.

The other day, I used the mobile messenger on my smartphone to advertise our band's performance at the school festival.

Chanhwa Park (18, high school student) These days, mobile phones are not just for making and receiving phone calls.

Jeongmin Seo (15, middle school student) I don't think smartphones help build meaningful relationships with others.

It was a family gathering, and I was glad to see him because we hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The band members sent text messages to their friends to let them know that we were going to perform.

For instance, I automatically turn on the navigation application even when I don't need directions.

We were like total strangers, not being able to break the silence until it was time to say goodbye.

Sojeong Kim (17, high school student) I think smartphones can provide many advantages for students.

In addition, I download online courses and watch them on the bus every morning on my way to school.

Instead of our smartphones being a tool which serves us, we have become slaves to our smartphones.

Ever since I began to use the smartphone, I've found myself becoming dumber and dumber every day.

During breaks, I can also search for information or answers to the questions I had during class.

The other day, I got a message from a close friend of mine who moved to Canada six months ago.

For instance, I can always check important messages on my school website using my smartphone.

There are times I get annoyed by the endless and often meaningless interactions with others.

I find myself constantly exchanging messages and chatting on my smartphone with my friends.

What would be your answer to the question, "Do smartphones make people smart or stupid?"

Haejeong Yu (43, housewife) I don't understand why these phones are called smarphones.

Before, I used to study the roads and try different routes to get to my destination.

Even after hours of chatting, I don't necessarily feel that I've got closer to them.

It's a very useful tool, but I find myself growing more dependent on my smartphone.

My smartphone was able to find our exact location and lead us to our destination.

However, we got lost along the way, and we couldn't figure out where we were.

I once accidentally deleted all my contact numbers stored on my smartphone.

For example, I can have real-time conversations with my friends and family.

Some students confess that smartphones are a distraction even after school.

It is extremely convenient to have all that information at my fingertips.

We were able to arrive at our relative's house without further trouble.

Smartphones actually help you strengthen your relationship with others.

My mom was driving by following the directions she printed in advance.

If we hadn't had our smartphones, we would've had more conversation.

We sent announcements, photos, and even video clips to our friends.

In my class, many students check their blogs or send text messages.

I search for all kinds of information on the Internet every day.

The other day, my mom and I were heading to a relative's house.

I also use my smartphone's navigation application when I drive.

Some say that smartphones make our lives easier and more fun.

I don't have to wait until I get home to search the Internet.

However, smartphones are a constant distraction in our lives.

I used to remember all the important phone numbers by heart.

I couldn't remember anyone's number - not even my husband's!

1: Smartphones are a useful tool helping our everyday life.

He requested an instant conversation through my smartphone.

Frankly, I sometimes find myself doing the same thing, too.

Here are some arguments for and against using smartphones.

Our messages spread like wildfire and we had a huge crowd!

Hyeongju Cha (40, high school teacher) Don't get me wrong.

For example, I can't remember phone numbers well anymore.

How much is the ticket for my favorite singer's concert?

We just sat, ate, and played with our smartphones.

This is becoming a serious problem for all of us.

All I need is my smartphone to get the answers!

Now, I can talk to my friend anytime, anywhere!

But most of the conversation is not meaningful.

While doing so, they pay less attention to me.

I feel as if I can't think on my own anymore.

3: Smartphones are necessary for school life.

What time will my bus arrive at the station?

Smartphones are useful for navigating, too.

2: Smartphones enrich human relationships.

Last weekend, I met my cousin for lunch.

Luckily, I had my smartphone with me.

But you know what we ended up doing?

My smartphone is indeed very smart!

They waste time during their study.

Now, I just drive as I am told.

One thing leads to another.

Smartphones are so cool!

What are your thoughts?

I love my smartphone.

I was in a panic.

Even on your bad days, there should be something to be thankful for: the beautiful spring sunshine, your favorite song playing on the radio, a cup of warm tea on a cold day, and many more.

Flow can be achieved when you are involved in tasks such as making music, playing sports, reading, solving puzzles, or doing whatever interests and challenges you.

Pele, a famous Brazilian soccer player, has once described the moment he experienced flow: "In this game, I felt a strange calmness I hadn't experienced before.

You will feel good about yourself as you see how much you have grown, what you have achieved, and what progress you have made toward your goals.

Different people have different opinions on what makes them happy, but there are some common factors contributing to our happiness.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

This old lady donated all of her life savings accumulated from washing dishes and collecting garbage for 30 years.

Bronze medalists, on the other hand, tend to be happy because they feel lucky to have gotten a medal at all.

_Buddha One of the simplest and most powerful ways to create a sense of happiness is by giving to others.

A recent newspaper article reported that a 78-year-old woman donated some 52 million won to a university.

Spend less time complaining about what you don't have and spend more time appreciating what you do have.

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

I wasn't fortunate enough to receive a formal education, so I'd like to help young students in need.

They tend to perceive and interpret the same event in more positive ways than do unhappy people.

No matter how much we've achieved, we can't be happy if we keep comparing ourselves with others.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

But no matter how much you have, you'll never be happy because there's always more you'll want.

Silver medalists feel unhappy because they can't stop comparing themselves to gold medalists.

Do you ever find yourself saying, "If only I were better looking, my life would be perfect!"

_Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Happy people don't waste time thinking about unpleasant things.

In the Olympics, bronze medalists rate themselves as much happier than silver medalists.

Count your blessings and keep a "gratitude journal" on the things you are grateful for.

_Bob Dylan Have you ever become so absorbed in an activity that you lost track of time?

We often hear touching stories about people donating all their fortune to good causes.

Happiness is not something we can buy, and it's not something others can give us.

Think less of other people - this is one of the surest ways to become happy!

True happiness comes when you engage in something meaningful and fulfilling!

You probably believe that the more you have, the happier you would be.

It might be your time, encouragement, kind words, or a simple smile.

She said, "This money is my entire fortune and I want to donate it.

In psychology, the state of such total absorption is called flow.

or "I would be so happy if I only had a little bit more money"?

Do good things to others without expecting anything in return.

We can increase our happiness by learning what makes us happy.

Happiness is something we can create and build for ourselves.

We are often too busy complaining about what we don't have.

We have a strong tendency to compare ourselves with others.

People feel happy when they are engaged in such activities.

Some of you might say it's getting good grades at school.

People feel really happy when they see others feel happy.

"Try to find a meaningful activity you really love to do.

Do not miss the happiness that is already in your life!

I felt as if I could run all day without getting tired.

Others might say it's buying cool electronic devices.

I also felt as if I could dribble through any tackle.

But comparison is the very root of our unhappiness.

Create the habit of comparing yourself to yourself.

Why don't you start with just one kind thing a day?

Look on the bright side of life and think positive.

They'll help you pursue happiness the right way!

Don't measure yourself in comparison to others.

We all have something we can give to others.

What you get in return is greater happiness.

Be kind and share what you have with others.

Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Rule 2 Stop comparing yourself to others.

Here are four secrets to true happiness.

Then you have come to the right place!

Get involved in fulfilling activities.

Your giving will make people happy.

Let me ask you a question first.

Now, try to change your mindset.

Do you want to be happy?

Happiness is contagious.

Rule 4 Do what you love.

Happiness will find you!

Here is a good example.

Rule 1 Think positive.

Rule 3 Give to others.

What makes you happy?

"Now it's your turn.

Let it spread!

In the popular movie Good Will Hunting, a janitor working at MIT, one of the best universities in America, solves a complicated math problem that was written on a board by a professor.

"He went on to explain that it is also the sum of the cubes of 1 and 12, as well as the first number that can be divided by the sum of the cubes of two different numbers.

As a vegetarian, Ramanujan had trouble getting the proper nutrition due to the lack of food during World War I, and it was not long before he had health problems.

After inquiring about Ramanujan's poor health, Hardy casually mentioned that his taxi's number had been 1729, a number with no special meaning.

Upon further inspection, however, Hardy realized that it was a version of the Riemann zeta function, an extremely complex mathematical concept.

But he came across an old math book and from this basic text he was able to discover theories that had confused mathematicians for years.

He took an accounting job to earn money and began to have some of his work published in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society.

He mailed them to a professor at Cambridge, who immediately recognized the brilliance in his work and brought Ramanujan to England.

I have made a special investigation of divergent series, and the results I have are termed by the local mathematicians as "amazing.

I have not gone through the conventional regular course which is followed in a university, but I am seeking a new path for myself.

Lambeau: They worked together for the remainder of their lives, producing some of the most exciting math theories ever written.

He received a degree in mathematics from Cambridge and became a Fellow of the Royal Society, only the second Indian to do so.

He was a young, uneducated man from India who turned out to be one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century.

Ramanujan's detailed understanding of the complicated ideas in this book provided the first hint of his true genius.

Hardy had never seen anything like it before, and quickly concluded that he was dealing with a mathematical genius.

"What caught Hardy's attention was a mathematical formula in the letter that didn't seem to make sense at first.

There is one story about a conversation that took place when Hardy was visiting Ramanujan in the hospital.

Perhaps one day you'll have a mentor who will recognize your hidden abilities and help you develop them.

In 1919, he returned to India to recover his health, but passed away soon afterwards at the age of 32.

Although he was unable to finish his university education, he didn't lose his passion for mathematics.

His work is still widely used today in statistical dynamics, computer science, and code breaking.

He was given a full scholarship to a university, but spent all of his time studying mathematics.

Because he neglected his other classes, his scholarship was not extended for the following year.

Dear Sir, I have had no university education but I have undergone the ordinary school course.

Since leaving school, I have been using the spare time at my disposal to work at mathematics.

Despite dying young, Srinivasa Ramanujan had an enormous impact on the world of mathematics.

Although his family was of high caste, they didn't have enough money to send him to school.

Everyone has a special gift, but many people live and die without ever discovering theirs.

Although Good Will Hunting is a fictional film, Srinivasa Ramanujan was a real person.

Although the two men had very different personalities, they worked well together.

You may feel like you don't have one, but it just means you haven't found it yet.

Under Hardy's guidance, Ramanujan's genius was finally allowed to fully develop.

Yet, had it not been for GH, Hardy, his genius might never have been recognized.

When he was 15, he read a book that was a collection of mathematical theorems.

Ramanujan was born into a poor family living near the city of Madras in 1887.

In the following scene, he explains the situation to another professor, Sean.

Ramanujan was a genius with a mind that worked more mathematically than most.

The professor, Gerald Lambeau, realizes that Will has a very special talent.

Hardy, an honored 35-year-old mathematician at the University of Cambridge.

Hardy invited Ramanujan to come to England, where they could work together.

But he's very defensive and I need someone who can get through to him.

Over the next five years, Hardy served as Ramanujan's personal mentor.

The janitor, Will Hunting, had been studying mathematics on his own.

Sean: Where he suffered from pneumonia and died at a young age.

Have you ever met someone who saw something special in you?

After thinking for a moment, however, Ramanujan disagreed.

Lambeau: So this Ramanujan lived in a tiny hut in India.

Despite this, he began to study mathematics on his own.

Lambeau: Have you ever heard of a man named Ramanujan?

In it, he introduced himself and described his work.

Hardy was so stunned that he could not even reply.

"No," he said, "the number 1729 is very special.

No formal education, no access to other works.

Encouraged, Ramanujan wrote a letter to GH.

Ramanujan's genius was unparalleled, Sean.

It is the sun of the cubes of 9 and 10.

Sean: And he mailed them to Hardy.

Sean: (nodding his head) Yeah.

Lambeau: That's right, Sean.

This boy is like that.

Last year, he decided to try a personal experiment: for one year he would produce as little trash as possible, stop using fossil fuel, and buy nothing except food that had been grown within 400 kilometers of his home.

I just hope other people can learn from our mistakes and find their own ways to live more environmentally friendly lives!

I guess we're going to have to borrow a picnic cooler from my father and fill it up with ice from a neighbor's freezer.

This might not seem difficult in the countryside, but it's a real challenge when you live in the middle of a big city!

When we first started this experiment, we had lots of arguments about simple tasks that had suddenly become difficult.

We had to find another way to cool our home because we decided to cut off the electricity to reduce our energy use.

It's clear that by reducing your impact on the environment, you help yourself just as much as you help the world.

By always using the stairs and walking everywhere, we've gotten into shape without ever setting foot in a gym.

In order for me to drink my pineapple juice, the fruit had to be flown hundreds of kilometers in an airplane.

She was very supportive and said we could bring our own bottles rather than using the cafe's paper cups.

Originally, we thought that not having lights would be the hardest part of living without electricity.

We tried keeping the windows open, but our apartment was soon filled with hungry mosquitoes.

Then it occurred to me that most of the fruit at the cafe was grown in tropical countries.

My wife and I talk more often, and both of us are spending more quality time with our son.

We now know that it's possible to live a calm and peaceful life in the middle of the city.

For one year, we're going to attempt to stop having a negative impact on the environment.

Luckily, one of our neighbors came to our rescue and let us use her old window screens.

Sadly, I realized that I won't be drinking any pineapple juice for the next 12 months!

My name is Christopher, and I live in Chicago with my wife and our two-year-old son.

To solve this problem, I made my own food rule: I would buy only locally grown food.

It's a small pot placed inside a larger one, with a layer of wet sand between them.

We thought we had found the solution when we read about the "pot in a pot" device.

There's a cafe around the corner where my wife and I often go to get fresh juice.

The experiment has barely begun, and already I'm wondering if it's impossible.

Now it meant an extra 20 minutes on foot before making  the long walk to work.

Our family now spends more time together, and we're all happier because of it.

All you have to do is stop rushing around, eating junk food, and watching TV.

We've even become close friends with some neighbors we hardly knew before.

Our first step will be figuring out the best ways to stop creating trash.

Christopher York is a writer who often blogs about environmental issues.

I know it won't be easy, but I feel that this is a very important issue.

For example, who would take our son to his day care center each morning?

We quickly realized that we can't buy anything that comes in a package.

Before we started this experiment, both of us were slightly overweight.

Unfortunately, the "pot in a pot" didn't keep our milk from spoiling.

Being part of a community certainly makes low-impact living easier.

All of our milk and vegetables kept going bad in just a day or two.

In just a couple of days, our fresh milk turned into smelly cheese.

But we found that we actually enjoyed doing things by candlelight.

The summer heat has begun and we really miss our air conditioner.

My wife now says that her daily walk is the best part of her day.

After that, we're going to take a close look at the food we buy.

Before, this had just required spending a few minutes in a taxi.

Finally, we'll look for sustainable ways to reduce energy use.

Apparently, people use these to store food in parts of Africa.

As a busy working mother, she values having some time alone.

Our priority today was finding ways to stop creating trash.

I explained our experiment to the woman behind the counter.

Not having a TV has really strengthened our relationships.

I'm not an expert and I don't expect to be a role model.

Not having a refrigerator, however, was a real problem.

We can't even order a coffee to go in a paper cup.

Most of these things have worked out smoothly.

He kept a record of his efforts on his blog.

Airplanes, of course, use fossil fuel.

What did we learn from our experiment?

Even our health has improved.

Welcome to my blog!

Perhaps it seems like you're unable to use your free time the way you want because your friends or classmates pressure you into following their plans.

People who are constantly assertive actually have fewer conflicts in life because other people understand exactly who they are and how they feel.

Terms - Finally, after discussing the problem and how to solve it, decide on the terms of an agreement that will satisfy both of you.

[The Benefits of Being Assertive] Being assertive is simply a respectful way of letting other people know about your feelings.

Remember, being assertive will help you avoid unnecessary problems or stress caused by relationships with people in your life.

Assertiveness skills can not only help you deal with a problem, but they can also help reduce the amount of stress you feel.

Response - Describe the type of response you expect from the person and how it would help solve the problem.

In these types of situations, you can use assertiveness skills to stand up for yourself in a positive way.

Following the ASSERT formula may feel a bit awkward at first, but over time it will become second nature.

Assertiveness enables you to act in your own best interest, and stand up for yourself without anxiety.

By being assertive and making your needs clear, you will gain the respect and understanding of others.

Attention - To deal with people who are causing you problems, you first have to get their attention.

Approach them in a respectful way and let them know that you need to talk about something important.

For example, you might think that your parents and teachers have too much control over your life.

Assertive people, on the other hand, respect others and pay close attention to their feelings.

Speak about the particular thing that is causing you to feel upset, uncomfortable or unhappy.

So if you want to start having a happier social and family life, try being more assertive!

Soon, Simple, Short - When a problem occurs, deal with the situation as soon as possible.

But even when you don't, you'll feel better after having honestly explained how you feel.

And when you talk about the problem, be sure to keep your explanation simple and short.

[Assertiveness Quiz] 1 When someone treats you badly, do you talk to him/her about it?

6 When a friend wants you to do something you're not comfortable with, can you say no?

This improves their relationships, reduces stress, and can even make them healthier.

If you answered "no" to most of the questions above, you need to be more assertive.

3 When someone sends you a nasty text message, do you talk to the person about it?

Sometimes it can be hard to keep a level head when someone is treating you badly.

4 When you're waiting in line and someone cuts in front of you, do you speak up?

10 Can you resolve conflicts with others without getting angry and aggressive?

Sometimes, I feel like I'm pushed into doing what other people want me to do.

When sharing your feelings, you must be careful not to hurt or insult others.

Effect - Make sure they understand the effect the situation is having on you.

9 Can you tell your friends the truth about what you think and who you are?

However, there are certain responsibilities that come with being assertive.

5 Do you confront someone who is trying to embarrass or speak ill of you?

Specific - When describing the problem, focus only on the problem itself.

Our relationships with other people can sometimes cause a lot of stress.

7 Can you discuss family rules, like curfews or chores, without arguing?

Otherwise, you'll just be causing yourself a lot of unnecessary stress.

Aggressive people are not respectful and can easily drive others away.

But now I'm starting to speak up and explain what I want - Kevin, 19.

What's important is knowing how to solve those problems - Maria, 18.

Here are some questions to check how well you express your opinions.

Of course, you won't always be able to get exactly what you want.

2 When you know a friend is lying to you, do you say something?

In both of these situations, the ASSERT formula can be helpful.

8 If someone is bullying you at school, do you tell a teacher?

You might suddenly feel angry and want to scream and shout.

It's a simple formula, but it can have a powerful effect.

They try to make all of my decisions for me - Jason, 17.

Explain exactly how their behavior is making you feel.

You can't always avoid problems with other people.

Don't confuse assertiveness with aggressiveness.

Or you might feel afraid and unable to speak up.

My parents don't trust me enough.
