As a final message from President Lee, she encourages people to just go forward and be brave to start a business, but one must be familiar with professional knowledge, business, and financial management concepts.

President Lee believes that the sustainable development of enterprises is the right course of action. To sum up, do not envy big firms, but learn from old companies and increase one’s own brand image and value in an ethical and long-term thinking manner.
