You Really Are What You Eat

 You Really Are What You Eat

Today's food is too sweet and salty. A few days ago, I bought two bags of snacks at MUJI, but when I tried them at home, they were so salty I had to throw them away. It was a waste of money, but I simply couldn't eat them.

I once visited a famous dessert cafe. They displayed bagels, cakes, bread, and donuts filled with cream and cheese. Just looking at them made me feel queasy.I thought, 'Eating that would lead to an early death.'

Corporate analyst Lee Rae-hak states in "Industrial Map of Korea (2023)":
"The number of microorganisms in the human intestine is about 100 trillion, about twice the number of cells in the human body. 99% of human genes are determined by intestinal microbes."

The average life expectancy these days is about 85 years. However, when considering quality of life and the age up to which one can live healthily, I think this number would drop to at least below 80.

The saying 'you are what you eat' takes on a different meaning. The food we consume affects the environment of our intestinal microbes. The types and numbers of these microbes influence our genes.

Since genes govern our bodies, they ultimately control our lives. It's true that we are what we eat. That's why we need to eat healthy food.

Introducing Gyeonggi Techno Park

Introducing Gyeonggi Techno Park, a source of pride for me.

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 ...

A Company Without Resignations

A Company Without Resignations The majority of reasons for resigning are due to a lack of autonomy. Most criticisms of companies also stem from a lack of autonomy. Autonomy comes with responsibility. It's said that when responsibility, authority, and autonomy are granted, turnover rates decrease even if compensation is lower than competitors. Autonomy leads to an effect where individuals identify themselves with the organization. Thus, autonomy simultaneously provides tremendous energy and pride. "When accustomed to autonomy and authority, the thought of resigning doesn't even cross one's mind." #Resignation #Without #Company #Autonomy #Independence #Authority #Management
