See, this is what worries me. i don't think I have time. Six more years and I'm applying for college. I don't think I can do it.

Just take things one day at a time. Who knows what you might be capable of in six years?🙂 Live in the present. Thinking too far into the future can be panic-inducing. You have enough time. You do.

When asked about the impact of his work, he explained to Bored Panda, "Every so often, I get messages like 'I really needed to see this today' or 'This is my kind of chicken soup for the soul.' It’s a great reminder that even something as simple as an illustration can make a difference, whether big or small. I just share my thoughts as I navigate life, and knowing that they resonate with others is incredibly rewarding."

In discussing how he balances positivity with life's challenges, Jun Han said, "Life is full of ups and downs, and I try to reflect that in my work. My goal is to help shift perspectives—from something negative to something hopeful. I like to think of my illustrations as a counterbalance to life's challenges, a way to reframe difficulties and remind people that there’s always another way to look at things."

Regarding the beginning of his illustration journey, he revealed to us, "I actually started by writing book summaries. I’d get asked what I learned from the books I read, and I’d struggle to explain it. Writing things down helped, but when I started drawing out key ideas, I realized how much easier they were to remember. That’s what led me to visual storytelling—I saw firsthand how effective it was, not just for me, but for others too."

What's "out there"? Nope. Gonna effect my little world for the better. Better serenity.
When asked what fuels his passion for creating art, he simply remarked, "There’s so much information out there, but we only retain a tiny fraction of it. That’s what drives me—translating complex ideas into simple visuals that people can understand, use, and actually remember. I don’t see myself as an artist in the traditional sense. I’m not aiming to create stunning, gallery-worthy pieces—I just want to communicate ideas in a way that sticks."

In a famine, if you have one meal available, do you allow one person to eat their fill or do you share the food?
Truice Zer0 1 year ago
There isn't enough info on this equation. You have limited resources FOR...? What amount of time... What purpose... How many people? Right now this is could be the equivalent of: you have limited resources ($), do you pick quality (1 steak meal) and starve in a few days or quantity (ramen) but you get to eat every day until you receive more money.

This isn't necessarily true. What if you have many paths before you and left or right aren't the only variables... In both of my fields of training (scientific theory and agile development) going the wrong direction is not only acceptable, but the very method by which we find the right road. In years past they slowly and steadily finished a project from beginning to end only for it not to be the correct end result since blinders where on and the road and direction were set. Now we make quick rough drafts, bring it back to investors for input and if needed completely abandon and change direction before much time is wasted on an incorrect path 👀
Finally, on the core message behind his work, he stated, "If there’s one thing I hope people take away from my illustrations, it’s to live with optimism. No matter what you’re going through, things can and will get better. I try to capture that mindset in my work—because sometimes, all we need is a small reminder that the bad moments don’t last forever."

Yes. I love this. The problem is convincing other people to disconnect with you otherwise it's a very lonely existence.

Keep insisting that your friends contact you via sms or phone call (or by email or written letter, even) and give it about a year so your friends are used to contacting you that way. Then delete your accounts. Your friends should know by then how to contact you outside of SoMe. (I know it's silly, but it worked for me)

Actually, doing the right ones isn't nearly as important as *not* doing the wrong ones. I've often told my kid while growing up, that most of success in life doesn't come from making super smart decisions all the time. It mostly comes from not making one or two really dumb ones. For purposes of the image, imagine a landmine.

One of the first games I had for my Apple IIc was Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Software always came in a small cereal sized box even though it only contained a flat floppy disc. So for the game, they stuffed a bunch of gimmicks in the box. One was a tiny plastic zip lock bag with the words "Microscopic Space Fleet." Another was a pair of sunglasses that were cardboard cut outs like the old 3D glasses, but with no lenses. It was just solid cardboard. The instructions were to wear them before viewing your score at the end of a game.

Excellent. Talent only gets you so far. I admit it bothers me when people see great art and respond with "that artist is so talented!" Maybe yes, but they are definitely SKILLED and put in the WORK to get where they are.

You are right. It is not tra-la-la talent that brings an idea to life.

The source and intention of the compliment is what matters most. I remember in middle school... Our music teacher would compliment coming up with good notes. Our Islamic ethics teacher would compliment hatred of music and recitation of anything other than the Quran... One was a good happy-go-lucky man. I have never seen him frown. One was a twisted bitter woman. She shouts at kids when they don't comply. By kids I mostly mean me XD

Welp, I guess my life is over then. Good at nothing, mediocre at a lot, don't have money, time or energy to "love" doing anything, the world needs nothing I'm capable of offering, and even the things I CAN do, never have and never will pay enough for someone to live on. I'll be grateful for a roof and 4 walls. That's the best many can hope for.

Sharky, if you limit what you are paying for that will help free up money. I'm certain you could put extra cash in your pocket by not paying for bored panda premium. Your financial situation must not be so bad if you can afford it.

It's when I think about things like this that I realize just how good I've got it. My job is low stress, I work from home, and I'm paid well. I've got lots of time with my kids, and take my dog on long walks during the day. Life is good. Even if I feel like I'm spinning my wheels sometimes, I have to remember that most people don't have what I have. I hope you get to live your dream.

But sometimes the long way can lead to more a beautiful view, just remember a to b is boring, it's good to divert here and there, like you could learn stuff from distraction or with self sabotage you can learn from failure and sometimes being average isn't bad, just because it doesn't sound appealing doesn't mean it's bad =) have a nice day y'all

That's twice that the word "more" has been censored. I'm curious why this is.
Ryan Mercer 1 year ago
Due to the font, it could be mistaking the 'M' for an 'H'. And while that wouldn't be the correct spelling, I can understand why it might censor it anyway. Just a guess.

But if you hate your job then Saturday and Sunday would be the best days wouldn't they? Oh this must represent working 3rd shift and having to work all days with no weekends. It would look more like the top but all the way down and more discombobulated.

I have sucked at every single sport I've ever tried. Physical Exercise class was my worst nightmare. I thought I was hopeless until my mid 20s when I found out that I can really dance! Ballet, modern, jazz... I can't do much of it now (injuries, arthritis), but boy did I enjoy it! Not sure what my point is - I guess that when we suck at everything, maybe we can still try something new. I don't think you suck btw.

These are fantastic! This is what Bored Panda used to be like. Wonderful entries like this, interesting, random information, gorgeous photos, wonderful animal pictures, funny little cartoons. I used to work as a psychologist in an in-patient psychiatric facility and I got a great deal of my inspiration for wonderful therapeutic material from this site. For that I'll always be grateful to the old BP and to people like Hidrėlėy and Egle Tenikyte who have been consistent contributors of positive material.
