Two roots of wild ginseng
The loving and generous life of
Yeosu Any time about Mr. Lee
Eui-sam. I will never forget that
grace. One day while I was lecturing , Lee Eui-sam sent me two roots of wild ginsen
g .
In front of many people, he gave one root to President Kim Chun- bok of Daejeon .
one root to CEO Kim Pyung- jun in Gwangju .
Besides that, he brought with him many other things . Because everyone is worried a
bout my health .
I gave it all back . Because I was in my prime , I thought it was okay to not eat those t
hings yet .
Monthly rent deposit 7 million won
One day, as I was leaving the office , an old woman I did not know brought me money
wrapped in yellow paper and said, ‘Chairman , don’t feel pressured and spend it . '
After the children's father died, I found the 7 million won that was in the monthly rent
deposit , and now I just have to go into a nursing home .' He said he was wondering
who he should give the money to, but after hearing the chairman's lecture , he was so
moved that he cried so much that he decided to give it to the chairman .
I politely declined .
' You need to have money, grandma . ' I will accept it if you give it to me in your will w
hen you pass away . Until then, use it . If it's not enough, please contact me .' The old
man died in tears because of my stubborn refusal .
As I returned that day, I thought of my mother deeply in my heart .
I worked hard to raise her , but when she sees me doing only good things for others ,
I don't know how sorry I feel for my mother .
QR I saw my mother in this person .
Even today, I can see how he was sad that he couldn't give me even one thing .
