A beggar in the seoul subway station

Today on my way to YangJae station(GangNam is very near from there), I saw old woman hobbled in the station.

3 days ago, I encountered her in the same line.

She put some begging note written in Korean (asking for money for her medical care) on the knees of passengers,
and many Korean woman who are so compassionate would gladly give old woman 1000 won.(1$)

But last time when I saw her she was yelling at foreign woman who does not know the meaning of her note. She was scared.

I was shocked.

The old woman looked very miserable at first sight.

But she acted like someone who have the right to beg in subway.

In Seoul, begging in subway is illegal.

I refused to give her money.

But both woman of my side gladly gave her 1000 won.

But what I am sure is that she is not begging, she is deceiving.


So, what is justice and what is right?

Who does the right thing?

And who deserves the mercy?

Why I still recommend apple than samsung ?

Year 2004, Hwang, who was the president of samsung semicinductor division, was in the airplane to meet Steve Jobs. (He is now the president of KT telecom)

In his suitcase was flash memory samsung developed recently. Hwang wants samsung become a new partner for iPods' memory supplier.

After knowing each other, Steve Jobs sometimes told Dr. Hwang (He called president Hwang as Doctor, because he got doctor degree at standford university) about his dream of making apple products that last values as time gores on.

This may be non-sense to Dr. Hwang. Samsung makes every month new Electronic products to survive.

But Steve Job was right.

I bought iPad II 4 years ago. And it is still running. Very useful for listing music, radio and watching TV.

Design is still fine and iOS update is reliable.

But I do not have any good memory with samsung galaxytab 8.9 which I bought 3 years ago. I sold it at online flee market after 6 month.

What makes the difference?

I think it comes from Company's values.

As Jobs told, apple seeks something sexy. Do not mind what the market wants. But product must follow apple's value. It it more severe than market's needs.

This is the reason why design and product quality is better than competitors.
Surely nowadays apple's new iphone 6 has some issues about it's bending under high pressure.

It may be a big issue.

But still there are rare company who has operating system and hardware.
There are not so many who cares design like apple.

So, if you want to choose something takes values long,
I still recommend Apple's.
