A building that turned a crisis into an opportunity.

Let's take a look at the example of the United States, which has turned past crises into opportunities and raised them.

​

In the 1930s, when the economic crisis hit the United States, banks, factories and even schools closed and business owners committed suicide. 

​

That's when a businessman named J. J. Lacos started building a huge building in Manhattan with the money he invested in securities. 

​

Many people said, 'Lacos accused him of being crazy and predicted he would soon fail. It was built in 1929 and completed in 1931, which is the famous Empire State Building. This building was created by an opportunity in the face of an economic crisis.

​

​

Today, we are going to introduce Gong Myeong Ji-jo in the old Korean idiom. 

​

Gong Myeong Ji-jo is an imaginary bird in the Buddhist scriptures with two heads in one body.

One head of this bird happens during the day, and the other head occurs at night. 

​

One head always ate good fruit for the body, while the other head was jealous. The other head was angry and ate the poison fruit secretly one day. The bird with two heads but one body ends up dying. 

​

There's an implication. This is especially true when we're on the same boat. Like it or not, we are one body, so we have to get along well and help. Because it's a common destiny. You're born with one body, but fighting and complaining makes it harder. You'll have to be friends and partners. 

​

I heard on the radio one day about a two-headed Siamese twins, and I've always heard that one head has to suffer. We look different, so we don't know the pain, but someone will be in a position that's not comfortable. In other words, if one head is comfortable, one head will be pressed. We'll have to be considerate and patient.

​

The opportunity in crisis is up to the prepared. When the opportunity comes, we should push ahead with the emphasis project in earnest." "The deep water (crisis) is the only way to fly a big ship (big opportunity).

​

The human eye has white and black parts. By the way, it is only seen through the black part. Why did God make it like this?

​

Because life must see the light through the dark.

Jewish maxims

Countries and companies that turned crises into opportunities have put ordinary truths into practice in the face of all kinds of difficulties. The wisdom of blessing in disguise begins with finding the principle and ends with strong action.
