fell in love with

vibe

a part of

getting bored

gratifying

 

동네 커피 숍의 아늑한 분위기에 반해버렸었어요. 근처에 그런 카페가 있어서 대만족이었습니다. 거기서 커피를 홀짝이는 것이 주말 루틴의 일부가 되었어요. 그런데 시간이 지날수록 열정이 식었고, 루틴에 지루함을 느끼게 되었어요.

 

I fell in love with the cozy vibe of the coffee shop in my neighborhood. I found it gratifying to have a caffe like that nearby. Sipping coffee there became a part of my weekend routine. But, over time my enthusiasm got weaker, getting bored of the routine.

go beyond your skill set

push the boundaries.

 

 

이번 초에 어려운 업무를 맡았어요. 과장님은 제가 일을 해낼 능력이 있다 생각하셨지만, 사실은 아니었어요. 정말로 나의 전체 능력 범위를 벗어나서 일을 해내야 했어요. 새로운 시도를 해보고 필요할 도움을 청했어요. 능력의 한계를 시험하며 두배로 열심히 노력했어요.

 

I was given a tough task earlier this week. My boss thought I had what it took, which was not true. I really had to go beyond my skill set to get it done.   I tried new things and asked for help when necessary. I worked extra hard pushing the boundaries of my abilities.
