Remarks from audience for Jin’s speech

April 12, 2009

Anyone who has had the pleasure and privilege of being around Jin is impressed by her warmth, strength, graciousness, determination and ability to inspire others through her example of leadership. Whether it is graduating from Harvard, becoming a U.S. major, raising a daughter who’s a Presidential scholar or moving audiences to action — she is that rare individual who makes everyone around her want to be a better person.
— Sam Horn, 16-time Emcee of the world-renowned Maui Writers Conference and author of POP! and Tongue Fu!

I was so moved by not only your story but what you sang at the end of your “sharing” as well. Even though I do not understand your native language, I could feel what you were singing very deeply… I could “see” the “energy” of your soul!

I was so moved and encouraged by Jin’s speech; I went to a college in town that afternoon and registered for the evening classes. I also want to make something out of my life!!

I was going to commit suicide because of the miserable and unbearable life of the basic training in the Korean Army. But your speech at our post that afternoon saved me and made me realize the reasons to live. As you said, we have only one life to live. I also want to test and find out what my limits are!!

Your speech simply is so powerful. In fact I am using your story and philosophy when I train my people. Especially, your strategy of making three lists to accomplish every objective is so brilliant.

Throughout your speech, I had goose bumps running over my body. I also was in tears at the realization that I can still dream even at my late fifties. You indeed inspired me to go for more of the life can offer.

This is 10th time I listened to your speech and still made me cried. In fact, you inspire and motivate me and teach me something new every time.
