Obstacles are meant to be overcome

 Obstacles are meant to be overcome

Throughout life, everyone encounters obstacles and trials. I, too, often find myself facing difficulties and feeling weary. The saying, "Obstacles are not meant to make you stumble, but to make you leap over them," and "Everyone falls down. But it's getting back up right there that matters," give me the strength to rise again. Having the most advanced compass and navigation system is useless if there is no destination. Kim Hyun-tae discusses how to overcome obstacles in life in "The Story of the Perfume Whale." It's essential to know clearly what you're living for in life to find happiness. Many times, working life makes you wonder if it's not for the sake of others. But ultimately, thinking beyond dreams leads you to find the true goal of your life.

People say they want to become rich. However, their answers to what they want to do with all that money often reveal deep uncertainties. To live a life without regrets in the face of death, contemplate why you came into this world.

A man needed money to marry the woman he loved. He prayed to God for days, but there was no response. He stood on a cliff to commit suicide and uttered his final prayer. Just as he was about to jump, a voice from God passed by, saying, "You fool, at least buy a lottery ticket to have your wish granted!" I like Nike's slogan, "Just do it." No matter how earnest your wish is, if you don't take action, it won't come true.

What may be a stepping stone for some may seem like an obstacle to others. Cross it once you encounter it!

Introducing Gyeonggi Techno Park

Introducing Gyeonggi Techno Park, a source of pride for me. The South Korean government identified Silicon Valley as the driving force behind the Third Industrial Revolution in the United States and formulated a medium to long-term plan for strengthening the technological infrastructure in 1995. To foster regional-specific strategic projects and achieve national balanced development, it established a special law on supporting industrial technology complexes and designated regional technoparks in 1998. In Gyeonggi Province, six regions participated in a competition to attract technopark projects, among which the consortium backed by the national industrial complex Smart Hub, located in Ansan City, was selected as the operator of Gyeonggi Techno Park. Since its establishment in 1998, it has attracted government-funded projects to nurture bio, robotics, IT, and automotive small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Simultaneously, it aimed to attract overseas global companies and national

Have a Dream!

  "Have a Dream!" According to the research conducted by Dr. Kim Seung-gi at Columbia University in the United States in 2008, among 1,400 Korean students admitted to prestigious American universities from 1985 to 2007, the dropout rate was 44%. This was significantly higher compared to 34% for American students, 25% for Chinese students, 21% for Indian students, and 13% for Jewish students. Additionally, there was an embarrassing statistic that 90% of Asian students failing at Harvard University were Koreans. The reason for this was attributed to Korean students lacking long-term goals and dreams. "What is the perfect life for me?" This is a question posed by Bob Buford in "Halftime" to those who chase material wealth throughout their lives. Bob points out that there are other games to play besides winning or losing, and that there are numerous other games being played on different fields. He experienced success anxiety even though he inherited a broadcas

It must be ethical

  It must be ethical. Recently, CEOs of major corporations have been suffering. Kim Seung-yeon, the chairman of Hanwha Group, was detained, and CJ Chairman Lee Jae-hyun is also under suspicion of slush funds and more. With the revelation of offshore tax evasion lists, many influential figures in society are facing moral challenges. The government is showing determination to impose strict legal responsibility for disrupting the chaebol's constitutional order, but it remains to be seen. The global financial crisis reoccurred due to moral laxity in the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. The theme of the 2010 Davos Forum was "Creating a Better World." For this purpose, rethinking, redesigning, and reconstructing were discussed. The shift towards moral capitalism began to be visualized to overcome the limitations of neoliberal capitalism. Why should we be ethical? By reading Doug Renick's "Now It's Ethical," we can reconsider its importance. According to resea
