In 2012, when I first watched Park Sihoo-ssi’s drama “Cheongdamdong Alice”, one of the most memorable scene and takeaway for me was Jean Thierry Cha plucking up his courage to publicly declare his love for Han Sekyung. He used Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet’s poem from 24 September 1945 to help him express his feelings.
“The most beautiful sea
hasn’t been crossed yet.
The most beautiful child
hasn’t grown up yet.
The most beautiful days
we haven’t seen yet.
And the most beautiful words I wanted to tell you
I haven’t said yet…”
― Nâzım Hikmet
I love this poem. Not only is it beautiful but it also reflected the thoughts and the mentality of an optimist. The future is full of possibilities, endless and infinite discoveries that anyone in his or her lifetime, in any lifetime for that matter, will not be able to exhaust. It is a circle of hopes and dreams. There will always be something to look forward to at any point in time, whether at that moment a person is at his or her most happy, sad, successful or down-trodden.
I have been very lucky to work for some of the most visionary and inspiring leaders and influencers in the global business. They are dreamers and they have taught me to dream big. Only when one dream big, will there be a goal to work towards and to look forward to. Then, you work, with all you have got, mind, body and soul, and persevere to achieve that dream.
Dreams can become reality, they might not be just fluff. It is how hard and smart you work at them to get to where you want to go. And success does not come easy – if it does, then, it is not success! It takes a lot of courage, being nimble to manoeuvre through all the hurdles to achieve your goal, and more importantly, getting there with dignity by upholding strong ethical values and principles.
I have been thinking a while now on how to position ParkSihooSsi.com. Neither a poet nor an Arts graduate, it took me a while to come up with the appropriate words. As this site has been set up for Park Sihoo-ssi, whatever position it takes has to be complementary to what he does, how he moves forward, with a big picture, long term view in mind. So, in my humble opinion, this positioning has to be one which ParkSihooSsi.com could work with and should also be inspirational to and resonate with Park Sihoo-ssi himself.
As we set sail into 2016, Park Sihoo-ssi will soon be making his comeback to Korea drama-land, in fact, the Korean entertainment industry as a whole. I would like to share this with Park Sihoo-ssi:
“Success has no limits. The World is in your hands! 성공은 한계가 없습니다. 세계는 당신의 손에 있습니다! 成功无极限。世界在你手中!”
This will be the positioning for ParkSihooSsi.com. It started with nothing, has been building up in the course of the last eight months and is still continuing to be built. Every thought, every word, every action, every reaction has been inspired by one man and managed by a pair of hands. Every thought, every word, every action and every reaction of encouragement, criticism and feedback has been gratefully received and has helped this site to develop and grow. Every step has been a valuable, though small milestone, hopefully contributing in some way, no matter how tiny and minuscule to Park Sihoo-ssi and to his dreams.
“Success has no limits. The World is in your hands!”
Yes, I like this goal, and I hope you do, too, Park Sihoo-ssi. And I hope all of you will like it and help Park Sihoo-ssi and ParkSihooSsi.com strive to achieve our dreams.
Many thanks!
成功无极限。世界在你手中!
在2012年,当我第一次观看施厚君的电视剧“清潭洞爱丽丝”时,最令我难忘的一幕是 Jean Thierry Cha 拿起勇气公开对韩世景示爱。他用了土耳其诗人纳新希克梅特的诗,从1945年9月24日来表达他的爱意:
“最美丽的大海
还没有被突破。
最漂亮的孩子
还没长大。
最美丽的日子
我们还没有看到。
而我想告诉你的最美好的话,
我还没有说……”
———纳新希克梅特
我非常喜欢这首诗。它不单是首美丽的诗,也反映了思想和乐观的心态。未来是充满了可能性,可以无尽的和无限的发现,任何人在他的一生,在任何生命周期,将无法用尽。在任何时间点或那一刻,一个人是否是最快乐的,悲伤的,成功或失败的,总是可以有着期待与欲望。
我一直很幸运,能够和一些环球商业领域中最有远见和鼓舞人心的领导和影响者一起工作。他们是梦想家,教会了我要有远大的梦想。只要有远大的梦想,才会有目标的期待,可以努力向前进。然后,你得全心投入工作,用脑力,体力和灵魂,并持之以恒,以实现梦想。
梦想是可以成为现实的, 就靠你的努力和智慧去争取。而成功不会来得容易 – 如果是容易的话,那就不是成功了!要达到梦想是需要大量的勇气,灵活的去应付障碍,更重要的是以尊严地得来,坚持着崇高的价值观和原则。
我想了好久怎么定位ParkSihooSsi.com。因为不是诗人,也不是文科大专,需要花一点时间才能写出适当的一句。因为这个网站是为施厚君而设的,在某种程度上,它具有互补做用,需随着他怎么往前走,与大画面,长远的眼光一致。在我的愚见,这个定位除了用以ParkSihooSsi.com也可以给施厚君带来一些灵感和与他共鸣。
当我们启航入2016年,施厚君将很快复出韩国电视剧圈子,事实上,是整体韩国演艺圈。我想与施厚君共享:
“成功无极限。世界在你手中!Success has no limits. The World is in your hands! 성공은 한계가 없습니다. 세계는 당신의 손에 있습니다! “
这将是ParkSihooSsi.com的定位和指导原则。从开始一无所有,在过去8个月里一直在建立中,仍在继续建立打造中。每一个念头,每一句话,每一个动作,每一个反应是因为他一个人所带来的灵感,由一双手来管理。每一个念头,每一句话,每一个动作,每一个反应的鼓励,批评和反馈,我都非常感激,因为这帮助网站成长和进步。走的每一步一直都是有意义的,虽然是小里程碑,无论多么渺小和微不足道,希望还是能够为施厚君和他的梦想做出小贡献来。
“成功无极限。世界在你手中。”
我喜欢这个目标。施厚君,希望你也喜欢!希望姐妹们也会喜欢,并协助施厚君和 ParkSihooSsi.com 网站向前行,实现我们的共同梦想。
非常感谢!

Dear Nance,
Love reading this article. Thanks for your great effort in creating and maintaining this site so as to resonate with PSH.
Let’s celebrate his glorious domestic comeback. Wish Local Hero a great success!
Bravo Bravo Bravo !!! Big applause Nance, Most impactful article on this page that I read so far (of course many others are brilliant too) but this ONE, Yes, this is the one, to spearhead a brand new year, new chapter for PSH, but then we know standard will be surpassed you will wow us with more fantastic articles in the days to come. Positive vibes sent out by his fans would sure be felt through the cosmic I am sure PSH himself feels your words, our optimism, and he too is saying “”Bring It On 2016!! I am all ready””
Excellent article Nance. Congratulations! Yes, the New Year stands before us like a chapter in a book to be written. And to write this story , we must set all our goals, as we know that the price of success is hard working, dedication to what we do, determination whether we win or lose. Yes, “The Word is in our hands!.” and we must apply to the best of ourselves to fulfil our goals. And extending this idea to PSH, he is an excellent example of trying to become not only a man of success, but a man of great value., always being himself, expressing himsef, having faith in himself, doing what he loves and believes in, because “The World is in his hands!.” And everything, he has done and everything he is doing, has come naturally. And due to this ,his life desire is always the commitment to the pursuit of his goal, the commitment to excellence in his career. For PSH:”Success has no limits”, because “The World is in his hands.” And I’d like to be a permanant witness of his success in the future ,encouriging him :” Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.”[Abraham Lincoln]
