Concerning Mosaic1's question of English class

I choose to answer the number 3 question: What is new with Kim Ssang Su? Is he still the CEO of LG Electronics? What can you find out about him, his family, and his life in general?


He is the CEO of LG Electronics. And he talked about himself in his own blog regarding his personal life.For one thing, he does his own thing energetically and passionately:he thinks that 24 hours is not enough for him. When he thinks that his judgment and actions as a CEO will determine the lives of tens of thousands of people, and he cannot stop working, even for a moment. He must devote over 70% of his waking time to thinking about and performing work. Otherwise, it will take him double the time to shift from thinking about other things to going back on the right track.

For the other thing, Besides work, his hobbies include mountaineering and reading. He considers that -while mountaineering, they(he and his staff) experience a different kind of "high" similar to a "running high" in marathon races. After climbing, they could barely move one step further, but they are more charged than any other time, and their consciousness towards a goal becomes clearer. they overcome the running high by standing on the peak of the summit.Business also has a running high. When productivity stagnates, which leaves one to think that he has reached the limit, one must surpass the barrier to be successful. Even Kim also believes that no matter how many books one reads, the information one acquires cannot be true knowledge if it cannot be useful and made tangible.

Besides his family play an important role in his life! He loves them and is thankful for them. He confesses that it is true he work very hard and constantly think of the company even at home. As such, "father and husband" has always been virtually absent from his children and wife.Nonetheless, his two daughters and youngest son have been raised well.
