Like a lot of folks out there, I like to go with my gut most of the time. I think my gut tells me quite a bit and is a good judge mostly. It has been spot-on on many important occasions, whether over a person, or a nagging feel that something will or will not happen.
So last week, when I was of two minds over whether to change or not to change the brand profile of ParkSihooSsi.com, I was having a debate with my gut.
My gut was telling me don’t change, that side profile view of Park Sihoo-ssi is very striking, unique and leaves a strong impression. It is a photo which is so recognisable and memorable. And it is an image that you have meticulously built in association with the website. On the other side, my rationale side was arguing, time for a change. The photo is old, old fashioned, not Park Sihoo-ssi’s new, mature image. You have used it for a while now, time for a refresh to keep the website up-to-date and keep up with the times.
And while internally I was having this debate, there were also differences in opinion with Park Sihoo-ssi fans who visit the website. It was a divided opinion. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts – they certainly helped me size up the debate.
So finally, I decided I am going with my gut. It has guided me well on many important decisions and proven right in the past. And my gut stood steadfast and adamant right from the start when it came to Park Sihoo-ssi. It gave him the fullest trust and support when everything went crashing down on him. And it has stood solidly by, no doubt, no change, not even a single second of uncertainty.
Yes, I will be going with my gut…and, if you have noticed, I have made the change back to what ParkSihooSsi.com was with that prominent, well recognised side profile of Park Sihoo-ssi. I did make a slight adjustment on the main website – not the rest of the links such as Facebook, Twitter and Weibo due to their restrictions. I added a second image, a secondary one which would go with the times and the style as Dorothy has recommended.
I think it works well. Don’t you?
跟着直觉走
就像很多人,大部分时间,我会随着自己的直觉来做决定。我的直觉经常告诉我许多事情, 判断事情时居多是正确的。许多重要的决定,不管是人,或事情,我会凭着直觉做最后判断。
所以上周,当我三心两意,反复犹豫是否改不改ParkSihooSsi.com的形象时,我是和直觉在辩论。
直觉告诉我不要改变,原先用的施厚君侧面照比较独特,显眼,留下深刻印象。这张照到访网站的厚粉都认识了,也令人难忘。是一丝不苟的把那照和网站拉上关联。我的理智一面争论着,是改变的时候了。照片是旧的,老式了,不是施厚君的新成熟的形象。已经使用了一段时间,是刷新的时候给网站个新时代,跟得上潮流的形象。
虽然心里在辩论,厚粉姐妹们也有差异的想法,意见分歧。非常感谢分享大家的想法,帮我打量这个辩论。
最后,决定与我的直觉去走。之前直觉引导我做了正确的重要决定。而对施厚君直觉从一开始就非常坚定坚决,给了他充分的信任和支持。当他面对着风波时,直觉毫无疑问,也没有丝毫的动摇过。
是的,我将与我的直觉走……所以把ParkSihooSsi.com的形象改回原有的那显眼,已经有关联,施厚君的侧面照片。可是我做了个更新,加入了第二个图像,作用是顺应时代和风格,就如厚粉Dorothy所建议的。可是这双图只在主网站上有变化 – 其他的链接,如脸书Facebook,推特Twitter和微博有限制,所以只有用主图。
我觉得这样还可以。妳们觉得呢?

I belong to the group with opinion of no change, of course I say Spot On Nance! It now also portrays the mature change in the main website, that’s Brilliant.!Me too hit myself numerous occasions when I did not follow what my gut is telling me. I even questioned myself shouldn’t I go with my gut having had previous experiences, yet again and again I learned. Our gut in fact sharpening as we ourselves gaining experiences and more wisdom acquired.
Nance, happy you took into consideration all the opinions offered on the subject matter and then made that decision which is yours gut feel or otherwise. It’s a brilliant decision – the primary photo will always be the iconic one, the secondary you have the freedom to change as you best think fit.
Nance, your decision to keep the previous side profile of PSH for the website of” Park Sihoo Ssi.com “, and from time to time to come with his new and recent photos , it’s correct, intelligent , effective and open to the opinions of some of us. And it coincides with your gut too. And I admire you, that you trust your gut feelings about this subject , listen to what others are saying and look at the results of your actions. Once you know the truth, you can set about taking action to improve. And everyone will be satisfied for it!
非常にうれしい、マーク的な画像、保留!自分も心の中の考えを表現した!直覚、作者は!文章、アバター、施厚君の感情、ひたむきに、持続的な、強い、維持し続ける!愛、深く愛して!一日の分かち合い、誰に関わらず、この快楽、より幸福感と存在感になります!
I think you have made the right decision to follow your gut feeling and adding that second photo you can change when you feel the need to do so, Nance.
Whenever I am debating with my gut feeling and finally, come to a decision, I know I have made the right one, when an incredible inner peace flows over me. I guess you must have had such kind of an experience as well.
