About me
I started this digital scrapbook to share findings that interests and inspire me. SaysHan is a play on words that extends a nod to Cézanne. Cézanne's revolutionary style was widely credited with bridging the gap between late 19th century Impressionism and early 20th century Cubism. His deviation from the norm is my personal reminder to resist blind conformity for the possibility of progress.
Coming from an art history background, I tend to gravitate towards things that challenge me to think critically about the big picture and find interconnectedness in the human condition. Art is always in my peripheral, but it's not the focus of this site. My intent for this project is to collect and share information of all sorts. It's my attempt to recognize the beauty of the journey not just the rewards of the destination. I'm not an expert on any topic. I am simply looking for opportunities to Love, Laugh and Learn.
Thanks for stopping by! xoxo

By: John Maxwell How can two people with the same skills and abilities, in the same situation end up with two totally different outcomes? ... Attitude. Notable quotes: Your attitude colors every aspect of your life. It is the mind's paintbrush. It can paint everything in bright vibrant colors - creating a masterpiece. Or it can make everything look dark and dreary. If you are having trouble getting where you want to go, the problem may be inside you. If you don't change your inward feelings about yourself, you will be unable to change your outward actions toward others. 'He who has so little...

HAN: Contrary to popular belief, donating money can help people more than donating your time. When you trust people to do the right thing with it, you offer them an opportunity to be trustworthy. "We give money directly to the poor — no strings attached." I was skeptical of the idea being pitched to my team. Two decades in philanthropy, including eight years at The Gates Foundation and six at Google Giving, had shown me the power of development done well. Living in India, I saw firsthand how an HIV prevention program could literally save millions of lives. Based...

She had blue skin, And so did he. He kept it hid And so did she. They searched for blue Their whole life through, Then passed right by- And never knew. - Shel Silverstein, Every Thing on It

HAN: I confess, I'm guilty of keeping my makeup too long, not because I mean to but because I can't remember when I bought it. This is a good guide to follow to avoid breakouts or infections. As a convenient reminder, I'm going to write the expiration date on the bottom of each piece of makeup as soon as I open it. If I'm paranoid about drinking expired milk, I should be just as careful about exposing my skin to expired products. "Like food, makeup has an expiration date, and over time cosmetics can harbor harmful bacteria that can lead to infections," states Dr. David Schlessinger,...

HAN: I was so touched by this story. Hopefully one day in the near future, families can speak openly about sexual orientation and practice unconditional love. Coming out may not always be easy. One father, who overheard his son on the phone discussing his intentions to reveal his sexuality, eased his child's worries by writing him the best note ever. FCKH8.com, an equal rights organization, first posted the touching letter to Facebookon Friday morning. In the note, the father explains he overheard his son, Nate, talking on the phone about coming out. But the father tells him there...

HAN: I don't want to toot my own horn, but my guy friends have told me I'm a pretty good wingman. It is true that when you're with someone of the opposite sex, you appear safer and more approachable. I don't know how affective I actually am or if my mere presence reduces the predatory aspect of my guy friends in a social situation. Either way, if I'm going out with single friends, I readily accept in my role as a wingman. These tips seem pretty self explanatory, but common knowledge does not always get put into practice. The concept of a wingman (or wingwoman) has been a hot topic...

Get inspired today—also known as International Women's Day—with this collection of fierce and unforgettable thoughts.

HAN: This article covers my love for containers, organization and makeup. I need to do this when I get more space! Know yourself What organization method suits you best? Conduct a personal investigation. Look through your bathroom, clothing, and books and make a list of the ways that you seem to naturally arrange your stuff. Are you quick at finding things by color, or perhaps you go more by shape? Now focus on your cosmetics. Is it more conducive to arrange products by function, or maybe it’s better to organize by brand? Whichever way you choose to categorize will depend...

#1 Spend more time on the not-to-do list Strategy is the art of sacrifice. That’s why you may consider creating a larger clearing for what really matters by first identifying, and then avoiding, what matters the least. Your time is a treasure to be invested. Creating a list of things that you are not going to do, allows you to invest more of your treasured time on the few things that matter the most. #2 Essential first, email second What’s the first thing you do in the morning? For many of us, it is looking at email. We wake up with a renewed mind and spirit, ready to take on the world,...
