[Ecohoon] Myon Monthly Talking March 2025 Review

"Ah, one day I will definitely stand in that place." This is always my resolution whenever I attend a lecture or seminar. I enjoy speaking in front of people and sharing my thoughts with others. That's why I always get motivated whenever I go to such events.

"I think appearing in such a place is both easy and difficult. In fact, there is no one without a story. The audience also has their own stories. Therefore, everyone is qualified to stand on the stage and tell their own story."

"Conversely, I respect those who appear on stage for the great difficulties, hardships, and special stories they must have experienced to be invited to such a place. There have been many life's ups and downs, career worries, and a wealth of experience granted by time."

"Last year, I was able to meet Mr. Lee Dae-uk, managing director, offline after connecting with him through comments. At that time, I posted a story about my family, and he resonated with it and left a long comment. Mr. Dae-uk had several career pivoting opportunities, all stemming from his family. He cherished his family that much."

"He gave me important advice, emphasizing the need to continuously learn, develop metacognition, and cultivate my rarity. He advised that this is our survival strategy because modern society is becoming increasingly intense due to constant development and competition."

"Director Jo Si-ho was someone I met for the first time, a capable person with experience at various large companies. However, he also had many experiences of receiving a direct hit from the waves of change due to technological advancements. But even in this situation, he shared his story of how he was able to get back to the top from the bottom with his mindset."

"In particular, his words about needing to find a blueprint for growth that suits me resonated with me. I feel the need to continue contemplating whether I am growing in the right direction, with the right methods, and with the right motivation."

"At the final 'God-Life' mini talk concert, Mr. Hyun-kyu from Harley-Davidson and Mr. Jae-hoon from Techit슈 IT newsletter shared their thoughts on their careers."

"Through Mr. Jae-hoon, I learned that to have a long-lasting career, I need to focus on what I want to do, and that what makes me grow is motivation; I need motivation in many areas."

"Mr. Hyun-kyu was also the CEO of an agency, but he took a gamble and went back to being an employee at a company based on what he liked. It was impressive that he reminisces about his feelings on his first day of work to overcome burnout and that he always records his commute to work on video on his first day."

"The common thought of today's speakers was ultimately, 'Just do it' and 'Why'. If you keep hesitating, nothing will happen. We tend to overthink. We need to eliminate the fear of why we can't just do it."

"Also, there needs to be motivation for why you are doing that. This doesn't mean you should quit your job just because you don't have a 'Why' for it. You can also discover your 'Why' while doing that job. Of course, it's even better if you know your 'Why' before you start."

"Commuting to and from Seoul is no easy feat. I make a bold decision every time I go. I'm glad I can get good energy every time I go. I would like to thank Mr. Ryu Tae-seop, CEO of Myon, for always preparing this valuable event for free, and I am also grateful for being able to meet Ms. Gu Min-jeong from LinkedIn network."
