Looking for an INTJ 8w7

Something smells kimchi…

In ten years of working in the field of education, I devoted three to four of them in Korean companies. If there is one thing I learned about them aside from how they make kimchi, it’s their intense pride in their nation, their culture, their language, their skin. A high sense of superiority for one’s…

Great people or at least those who pretend to be often say that success is measured by how happy one has lived his life regardless of his accomplishments. I doubt that.

Have you had those moments when too many things in your life overwhelm you and you just have to do…

Define ‘dream job.’

Short and sweet: I work for VIBAL Publishing or now known as VIBAL Group, the biggest publishing house in the Philippines. Before I decided to quit my last job, countless of times I had been asked what kind of work it was and I was not able to give a definite answer. It was not…
