2. ‘Sometimes we make invisible limits ourselves, and we even forget that we made those limits.’
3. Especially in Korea, this phenomenon seems to be more severe because Confucian traditions such as “Know Your Fountain” and “The sparrow chases after the stork and tears its crotch.”
4. Metacognition that looks at oneself objectively is important. However, I think it is also an essential virtue to be a better person to be wary of lowering oneself too much or setting limits that cannot be grown, saying, “This is it for me” and “This is how much my ability is.”
5. If you look back on history, the great challenge and great change came from the mindset and strong will to ‘do anything’.

7. Of course, this realistic aspect should be considered when making management decisions, but I hope that more companies design the future with a long breath as much as the number seen in front of them.
8. The lesson that great innovative companies have come from quantum jumps, not from gradual improvement, and the dreams and visions that make your heart beat to “create a better future” will be the new driving force.
