When I putting on my shoes and going to work, I was surprised by my wife's talk "You are a backpacking life, aren't you? you carried your backpack on weekdays and carried your mountain backpack on weekend." That's right. I go to work to Seoul sales team office on Wednesday and go to the factory on the rest of the day.

In the backpack, always the Planner which has been recorded the month and week plan. Also it includes major documents such as remittance and bank certification, and sales strategies.

The CEO has to conceive a new business plan not only at work, but also at home. I have to Memo an Idea that suddenly comes to mind.... I always keep the planner except for sleeping hours. Planner may be the partner of my life, and the "backpack" also.

When I have schedule such as 'Clean-day' or a 'monthly meeting', I leave from my home around 6 AM For breakfast, I usually stop by the “Gimbap Heaven” which located near the Seoul office and order a Gimbap. It's very convenient because i can eat while I ride a bus and can easily eat in the bus without making people smell of food. I put a gimbap and beverage in my backpack, it make me feel that I'm going to picnic.

"I shall return to heaven.

On the day of the end of the life picnic,

I'll say it was beautiful."

It reminds me of the poet named "pass away" phrase that sang the life of a hundred years, which is a beautiful picnic. Well, It's fun to think of going to work as a picnic, and if I think of it as a way back to heaven after all, I don't need to seek a greed.

When I started manufacturing after I was 50 years old, my body was exhausted, and I was stressed from the sales, profit and loss, human management, and the major and minor accidents that continued every day so that I couldn't stand. Finally, in 2005, I got cancer surgery. In order to overcome cancer and improve my body immune function, I entered the Gukseondo',which is a martial art that uses meditational breathing and a series of postures. I train this 2 hours everyday. On Sunday, I climbed Bukhansan with my friend (high school alumni) since 20 years ago. we are "climbing mania" who climb Bukhansan through the emergency exit even if it is prohibited to enter the mountain due to rain, snow and typhoons. Every year I climb Mt. Seorak's Daecheongbong Peak. Memory of climb the Kota kinabalu, Fuji Mountain and tracking of the Alps were a lifelong memory. Anyway, we meet every week for more than 20 years, and we work hard to climb the mountain, and talk about politics and history. Drinking a glass of cold beer after we get off the mountain, it feel really great. I feel my three friends(Jeong-ho Jong-pal Dong-chan) are closer than my brothers.

The proverb, "when tree rot root first, and people old leg old," it emphasized that when we would like to live ever-young it could comes from the 'healthy leg' not the herbal tonics. leg is our transportation. Half of the blood vessels, nerves of the body are gather into legs. Health of the leg is exactly what makes the whole body healthy. To have sturdy leg, we need hard exercise as if training to turn soft iron into steel. So, mountain climbing is the best way to get the healthy leg. Climbing brings all physical health, and anions and phytoncides from the mountains cure all diseases. From two years ago, I add the climb schedule in saturday too. I have been enjoying the climbing with my wife since six months ago. Most women who have passed menopause are almost impossible to climb mountains due to degenerative arthritis, but fortunately, wife seems good. I will extension our climbing trail road with my wife for maintain our health.

It's about my friend's story. He said that he will go on a trip with a backpack when he find a cheap flight ticket. When we get older, we can't travel far away such as America or Europe. So we typically choose a place Japan or Southeast Asia. At first, He couldn't sleep because he was worried about food, dragonfly, and worried about lost the way during the travel. But now, he said that he is a expert because he is familiar with planning the travel.

When I go on a trip, I plan my next trip.. Is it wonderful to take care of my children and housework every time when I was young, and to take a backpack trip by myself soon after retirement to make the memory of a new strange foreign country, isn't it?

When we were children, we carried books wrapping in cloth. And then, leather, synthetic leather handbags or shoulder bags were used by people. Although rectangular paper bags with auxiliary bags such as briefcase were popular in the workplace, nowadays most of the people seem to be wearing backpacks. Student's school bags are usually backpacks, office worker's suitcases are backpack too. This is because backpack include several auxiliary bags that allow to classify daily necessities, and even if you put a lot of documents and things in it and put them on your shoulders, you don't have to strain your shoulders at all, and you can move your hands and feet freely, so it's very convenient. From the time I entered elementary school to the time I was a student, I have been working for 24 years and 23 years in business - I am going to work carrying my backpack every day. On weekends, I climb mountain with my friends and Wife with my backpack. so I feel like I spend my whole life in backpacking.

"What do you do, what do you love and what do you have hope for?" Work, love and hope are the three conditions of happiness that Kant said. At present, I feel like I'll go to work until I die for the rest of my life. I will give my unceasing efforts to make global quality and price competitiveness. I'm going to achieve my company vision 'To be a one hundred year old company through export' My beloved wife, sons who fulfill their roles, my daughters-in-law and grandchildren who lead a happy family.. I think i have a "good spouse and a happy family" which is the first condition of happiness.

There are too many people around me who I love such as My co-workers who run together to practice company mission statement to achieve company vision, my friends, elementary·junior and high school·university alumni, students eligible for LCC scholarships and charitable organizations...

Come to think of it, I think my self that i'm living a happier life than anyone else in the world because I have all three things together.
