Good Fortune Comes to Those Who …

Two years ago, I was in Hawaii.
I was enjoying my New Year holidays with my family.
After coming back from, I remember joking with our team members.
”We might not be able to travel freely between multiple countries due to the unknown infectious disease.”
We didn’t realize it until later.
That was the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic.

Changed All the Sudden

It turned out to be realistic.
Our life itself had changed all the sudden.
We were forced to stay home for almost two years afterwards.
Since my first trip to Korea in my second year of university, going abroad had been a part of my life.
But now….

I’m sure we all have the same feeling.

Life Keeps on Changing

We used to go to our office every morning to have meetings and get work done.
Some meetings go on until the evening pub ended up talking passionately.
We go abroad and stretch your wings during the long precious holiday.
Members look forward to sharing their adventurous stories in our morning conversations.

Unfortunately, good old days won’t come back again.
People’s life keeps on changing due to a range of factors.

A decade ago when I just started oversea business, it took me 30 minutes to send 10-pages of fax.
Now we have useful tools.
Emails
Slack
LINE
DocuSign for signatures
Etc..

As long as I send them within that day,
they go smoothly within few hours.

Experiencing Many Changes in the Way We Live Brings Good Fortune

Obviously, our life had totally changed.
We were forced to change by the infectious disease.
However, we humans had been experiencing many changes in the way we live, such as innovative technology and natural disasters.
While these changes can have negative effects, they can also help us to find opportunities and grow and become economically successful.

In my case, I managed to rest my back and strengthen my body through frequent gym training which was good.
Thanks to this precious opportunity, I believe I have gained 10 years of enjoyment in my life.
Because of my work, I tend to have chances to talk to people who succeeded in business.
Talking to them, I realized that living a cheerful life with laughter is the best way to feel the positive part of these changes.
