If you want to become wealthy...

Yesterday, when I returned home from work and opened the front door, my wife didn't greet me as usual. Instead, I heard someone speaking rapidly from the direction of the kitchen. My wife was listening to a YouTube lecture. It was about economics, and I couldn't help but think, "This person speaks quickly and has a sense of humor."

As I was about to head to the bedroom to change clothes, I was stopped by a question. "Do you really love money?!" my wife asked. "If you love money, why do you keep exchanging it for bags?! That's not love!"

...

If you truly want to become wealthy, I've been told you should first accumulate 100 hundred dollor in cash. Many people, after saving a few million or tens of millions of won, end up spending it on things like cars, hobbies, or various new gadgets. But if you really want to accumulate money, you need to continue reinvesting until you reach 100 million won. This requires persistent effort and dedication.

That's what it means to truly love money.

Looking back, I realized that I preferred cars, sports, and all sorts of new gadgets over money itself. To earn an annual income of 10 million won based on a 3% interest rate, you need around 300 million won in capital. (It won't be easy...)

From now on, I'm determined to change my mindset. I need to love money more to better prepare for retirement.

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
