Help others, especially animals. Say what you think, be considerate of others. Appreciate more than deprecate. Teach well, jump on teachable moments. Enjoy Korea as it is, without changing it. Dwell! Yet, at times, change your life for the better. "The most important [thing] is to have a good day."

That being said, it is important that we as teachers have reasonable expectations and not push ourselves or our students too hard. I think burnout is a real issue in Korea that needs to be addressed.
