Those who believe they can achieve anything will find a way to do so. Doubt will limit you to what you question, and if you think you can't, then you truly won't. Chung Ju-yung the founder's remarks From the autobiography "As I was born in this land" We Koreans are a resilient people who can overcome any challenge once we set our minds to it. As long as you never give up and pour your efforts into anything, there's nothing you can't achieve. The more people doubt you, the stronger your resolve becomes to succeed, driving you to work even harder to make it happen. I am able to live with a sense of happiness because I choose to see the world as beautiful, bright, hopeful, and positive. I strive to make HD the cleanest company, rather than the largest. By achieving this goal, we can become one of the most reputable and efficient companies, not just in Korea, but around the world. Building a ship isn't all that different from constructing on land; it's just a matter of shifting our construction efforts from the ground to the water. People often say 'time is money,' but I prefer to say 'time is life. We must look to the future with grand dreams and a positive vision. All of humanity's advancements have been led by individuals with a positive mindset. The most fatal mistake of all is giving up. Up until now, I have never started a factory without being involved in every step, from securing the land and driving in the stakes to paving the road and building it all with my own hands. True knowledge comes from direct experience; only then can we truly understand its value. People may see me as a Korean managing a global corporation, but I consider myself nothing more than a well-off worker. A job isn't just a place to earn a salary; it's a place to grow and develop yourself. Those who live thoughtfully can achieve ten or even a hundred times more than the average person. This is why we criticize those who waste their time—whether they’re not fully engaged in leisure, work, or even rest. If there’s no path, find one; and if you still can’t find one, create it as you go. Challenges exist to be overcome, not to trip you up and bring you down. Everyone has both good and bad luck at the same time. The moments when we can work joyfully are our good fortune. Those who work hard leave no room for bad luck. Those who complain about their bad luck are often the laziest. The success of a business requires every daring idea, every bold effort, and every courageous move. Our success leads to the prosperity of our nation, and a prosperous nation, in turn, paves the way for our success. You should keep your failures close to heart. Those who forget their failures are destined to repeat them. International competitiveness is determined by how quickly and effectively a nation or company adapts to new changes with the right policy alternatives We have grown stronger by enduring and overcoming harsh trials, like climbing a mountain, learning and persevering along the way When you see the world clearly, with optimism and integrity, and live with the goal of making a positive impact, there will always be plenty of important work to do. A nation truly flourishes when it openly respects and celebrates those who work hard and excel in their fields. I wake up early every day because I look forward to what the day holds, filled with excitement and joy for the tasks ahead. Positive thinking leads to happiness. When a person earns trust through sincerity and honesty, they can use it as a springboard to expand and enrich their life in countless ways. Credit grows like a tree. Credit is also something honorable. Waking up in the morning fills me with the same excitement I felt as a child on field trip days. At night, I always get ready for a good night’s sleep. This is all possible because I choose to see the world as beautiful, bright, hopeful, and positive. Unyielding determination and a spirit of adventure alone won't ensure success for everyone. There must also be careful planning and a strong belief in oneself behind them. Only those who believe that anything is possible can truly make it happen. Foreign scholars often call South Korea's economic growth the "Miracle on the Han River," but I firmly believe that there are no miracles in economics. This success is a result of the proactive spirit and passionate efforts of the Korean people. The key to that achievement lies right here. A workplace is a platform for personal growth. It's not just a place to earn a paycheck; it should be where you go to enhance your development. The foundation of wealth lies in hard work and frugality. Until now, there hasn’t been a factory I’ve started that I didn’t begin by preparing the land, driving in the stakes, and building it with my own hands. The deadliest mistake of all is giving up on what you're doing. A business's success hinges on adventurous ideas, bold efforts, and courageous actions. Young people entering society should be brimming with passion and enthusiasm, their minds agile and ready to adapt. They must be capable of overcoming any challenges or adverse conditions that come their way. Let’s cultivate a calm mindset. A peaceful heart will make you wise, strong, and sharp. Every day should be filled with freshness and new experiences. If you approach today as if it were just like yesterday and tomorrow just like today, you aren't really living; you're simply existing. Even if the challenges we face are tough and complex, we possess the confidence and courage to handle them smoothly, without hesitation or fear. Our happiness in life is shaped by our mindset. The journey to finding joy begins with how we uplift those around us. This is just a challenge, not a failure. As long as we hold on to our dreams, failure cannot truly exist.
