I am often enchanted by people who are truly authentic and funny.
I am very lucky that I have had some incredible people in my life who have given me an understanding of life with its ups and downs and what it means to my business life.
I am fascinated in tracing innovation in business, and particularly how it relates to people and technology at work. I think this comes from my early days in Korea. My brother is gifted with his hands especially musical instruments. I dissected frogs and butterflies, he dissected gadgets in the house, and sometimes he got into trouble because he couldn’t put them back together!
Remembering the night, Apollo 11 Moon landing, I wondered how on earth people were flying to the moon. Before then, the moon was the roughish creation of love, crooking with stars. She was a route of my imagination. The moon still follows me after all these years. It gives me a connection of the most intimate nature of our soul. As I am on the verge of an abundant life without this I am bit of like ET with a soulless creed.
I love travel, I would to like to make instantaneous decisions at an airport where I should go sometimes. I used to travel to the Far East a lot and around most parts of the world’s continents. It was interesting to see how the ordinary and indigenous people’s lives are. I was attracted to the essence of ordinary lives, breathing the soul of soil and the back streets and underground junkshops where I could dig the most fascinating old things where I could feel the ancient times and wisdom. Prowling around remote areas where old villages, the open breast of hospitality embraced me with a great sentiment. My next traveling is across the Sahara desert, I feel that I must go there, to see the ancient sunset with the root of Isis and Ishtar's eye.
Regardless of what culture you are; ordinary people, they talk to you, they come to you, and they have an open heart to you as if you are one of them. A smart young man who knew everything that was going on in the whole of Macao, is now a very successful business man. I am like his fresh blood. It is our enchanting and unsullied bonding. People I met in the South America, the South Seas, the Simpson Desert and remote Australia outback, deep mountains in the Bhutan and China gave me the earthly heart. I miss deeply this openness and spontaneous .
The technology innovations glided us to the life of the fast lane and heartless comfort. It leads also us into the castrated world and isolation. The soulless exfoliation of the crust of our soul is so painfully barren. We are looking at the world from the cyberspace vision. We miss the uncomplicated people’s simple talk and touch. As an entrepreneur I believe that I have a great responsibility to knit these hearts into a warm blanket. I would like to name it “Connection”.
Sometimes I think about what our future is in this evolution. Will we still have a horizon and love? Are we losing the plot? We are rolling so fast; well perhaps we might run out of breath completely at this speed, I believe that the cycle of renewal should be in parallel with the cycle of growth!
I have learnt that successful business is all about relating to people and in particular to empowering people. You have to give people space; physically and mentally.
Happy people know how to serve; happy people know where the heart lays…
My experiences have taught me that trouble shooting in business is related to human systems, the essence of life; past, current and future. The cycle of time and seasons, space and earth. Gracious nature bestowed on us the privilege of feeling and seeing these things. I am deeply sensitive and in tune with the colorful sounds of cycles, sheeted tales of progression and time thieving our transitory civilization.
I am an ardent advocator of the untapped energy of the multicultural and diverse base of our community.
I am currently studying an MBA specializing in marketing (which supported by my previous employer). I have a Post Graduate Diploma of Business Administration, and a Management study (supported and financed by my employer at that time). I have also studied oriental philosophy and fine arts in one of the major universities of the Far East, and through my employment have undertaken a number of practical professional and self development courses.
I paint (I have had held two exhibitions), write poetry (won a poetry competition), play a few instruments, and collect antiques and rare books. I speak English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese. I run, practice yoga and meditation (get rid of this huge raw energy) and have reached an advanced level of martial art and fencing.
As a painter and a poet, I love the rugged desert landscapes and colors of imperfect outback Australia and the stillness, unoffending bosom of the distant starry nights. And yes, I still have unforgettable memories of the fireworks, geometry winged summers and tales of my home town in Korea …
