-==== New Korean ====
 ==== Korean Cultural Insight ====
-I think it is important to talk about Korean's work culture. During my time in the Hubo Lab, I was able to gain insight into Korean's work culture. Korean have a much stricter working schedule than United States and probably most western society. A typical day start at 9:00 AM and end at around 10:00 PM in the Hubo Lab.
+I think it is important to talk about Korean's work ethic. During my time in the Hubo Lab, I was able to gain insight into Korean's work culture. Korean have a much stricter working schedule than United States and probably most western society. A typical day start at 9:00 AM and end at around 10:00 PM in the Hubo Lab. That is a 13 hours work-shift, however, lab members at Hubo Lab considered that as common occurrence.
+The difference between Korean work day and the 8 hours work day in U.S. perfectly demonstrated the difference in work culture. Of course, they are not working 13 hours without rest. Even so, the Hubo Lab members must be passionate about what they are researching for them to work such long hours everyday. However, the long work hours also bring extra stress and exhaustion to the workers. When I ask about the long work schedule, some Hubo Lab members complained about it. There is a trade off between hours of work and motivation and I am not sure the long hour is the best method.
 ==== What I Learned about Myself ====
+I was impressed by their motivation after learning about the amount of hours that Hubo Lab members invest in their work each day. I reflected on my own work schedules and decided that I want to imitate and learn from their work ethic. At first, I was worried that I will not muster enough motivation to last through the entire 13 hours work schedule. However, I kept pushing myself to work harder and try to find motivation from other Hubo members who are working hard. After 7 weeks, I can finally say that I have adjusted to the long work hours. I learned that if I have enough motivation, I can work for long periods of time.
