1. iPad Air

- Screen size: 7.75" x 5.83"
- Actual image size for 16:9 video source: 7.75" x 4.36"

2. Nexus 9

- Aspect ratio: 16:10
- Screen size: 8.9" x 5.56"

- Aspect ratio: 16:10
- Screen size: 7.12" x 4.45"

Since both iPad Air and Nexus 9 have 4:3 screen ratio, the screen size of Nexus 9 is slightly smaller than iPad Air in length and width, as the diagonal size showed.
However, when Nexus 9 or iPad Air is compared with Samsung's Galaxy Tab series, we should be aware of the different screen ratio. Actually, the length of Nexus 9 screen is same with the Galaxy TabS 8.4, not with the 10.5 model. It means if you're using tablet mainly for watching videos, Galaxy TabS 8.4 has same visible screen size with Nexus 9 if you play 16:9 or any wide-screen videos. Nexus 9 is 0.9" wider than TabS 8.4, but both are in the same length.

In this manner, TabS 8.4 can be also an alternative for Nexus 9 for those who are mainly watching wide-screen videos on their tablets.

The Beautiful End - the Venerable Pup Jeong

1. Now

The beautiful end is to appreciate my own life. Realise that there was no other way in my life other than the one I have followed, and accept that it has made me grown up. The beautiful end is to thank for understanding every consequence and the meaning over its procedure in my life. Thanks my life and its existence which gives me a chance to grow up.

Do not forget that you are living at this moment in this place; your life is not in the past nor in the future. The most tragic part of our life is that something has been dying in ourselves during our lives, not the fact that we will die eventually, such as becoming insensitive to flowers or moon, not looking back our life in front of gorgeous sunset, becoming a routine of starring to television. These are a actual step towards real dead.

What is the laziness? It is a procrastination postponing the work terminable in short. At that time, at that place, living in that way is the life of the day. Such everyday life builds up our life. There is nothing already done. Everything is building up by ourself.


2. Non-possession.

Someday, everyone will face the moment that they should release everything that they have been possessed. For sure, it will come. If we hesitate at that moment, our life has gone in wrong way. Is there anything owned by me in nature? We only hold things for a while. Therefore, we should train to throw things away at times generously. We can become a real free person at last.

When you are happy, do not stuck on it. When you are unhappy, do not avoid it, but just accept it. Then, look at your own life every minute with clear mind.

Preparing and stacking up in advance by concerning of being insufficient in the future is actually the lack. They knew how to enjoy their life at every moment. They knew what is more necessary in the life. They didn't want to own anything more than necessary.

The actual wealth is not relevant to obsess many things. Do not misunderstand that owning a longing is the wealth. Instead, it is a relative term depending on the desire.


3. Love

Understanding. Saying "Don't worry, it's not a big deal". Love is a deep understanding.

If I meet someone one day, he should be more pleasant and happier after that day. Then, my life, who met him, would become more mature and rich.

In any situation, if you can avoid behaving capriciously but share your humanity and rich personality with others, you will be a good neighbour with everyone. If you have such a friend, you are lucky.

Catching up too frequently and becoming too close to each other leads to loose the essential spirit of the person, because of distraction from unimportant factors. Even though very special relationship, it should become trivial after all if they always hangout together. Relationships need a bit of longing and inconvenience to keep the freshness.

For humans or things, or even for sceneries, they suppose to be delighted from looking a bit far in the distance. Neither too close or too far, at proper distance, they need to look at each other.

I took a notion of just appreciating everyone. Also, I suddenly felt appreciation every thing around me. We are not living alone, but with others together by giving and taking.

If a person want to leave a pleasant after-taste, they should not waste their time for worthless works. They must manage their life continuously by introspecting themselves. They should grow themselves slowly as like vegetating from seeds. Then others can feel freshness from them every time.
