 I came from South Korea and I am a Korean New Zealander. If someone asked me, do you think your life is successful, then I would say, yes, I think so, because I have a very close relationship with my family and my friends and I'm really satisfied with my life. However, if I were given the same question when I was living in Korea, I would answer like, well, I don't think so because I don't have enough money yet and I didn't achieve many things so far like others. Uh oh, what made this difference? I guess through the process of adapting myself into New Zealand culture, my standard changed in terms of what I consider a successful life. My doctoral research on the one hand investigates the relationship between the ideas of success and cultural impact. Korea and New Zealand representing Eastern and Western contexts have different cultures. So it would be worthwhile to see how the ideas of success are different across Koreans in Korea, Koreans in New Zealand and European New Zealanders in New Zealand in order to understand the impact of culture on our ideas of success. On the other hand, happiness is another important area of my research. Koreans do study and work so hard in order to achieve success in their lives. But why? Why the Koreans' social level is the highest among all these countries? And why they experience lowest level of happiness? Is there any relationship between the ideas of success and happiness? In order to find the answers, I, firstly, I interviewed 20 Korean and European New Zealand university students and through the interviews, I could get a sense that Korean's ideas of success are narrow and more focused on materialistic values compared to New Zealanders. Next, I conducted an online-based survey and 4,500 Korean and European New Zealand high school university students and adults participated. And I'm currently analyzing the data. So one of the potentials and strengths of my doctoral studies is that success and happiness are core issues in our daily lives. So this research can be applied to any ethnic group and any age group. Let me finish my presentation by asking you these two questions. This is your life. Then, what makes your life successful? And do you think that you can be happy once you have that? Thank you.
