This quote, Steadiness will always prevail, is
from a book by Moon Youngshik, CEO of Nowcom Co., Ltd. I read this book long
time ago but the quote suddenly came across my mind.
Moon Youngshik didn't have any IT skill when he
began his career but he has gained experiences while he was working in various
departments gradually. And eventually he became the founder of Nowcom Co., Ltd
and Africa TV. Patience and steadiness made him to be a founder. I can see that
he is right minded person and he has tried to earn an honest living. The way he
lived can be incomprehensible to some people because not everyone lives his or her life in right
and honest way.
Yesterday I had a very relaxed day off
after a long time. It has been almost 10 years since I arrived in China, but
somehow I wasn't able to get the time off work for travelling. So I eventually
visited Hangzhou yesterday.
While I was walking around I met this guy
on the street of the place which is called Song Cheng. He has been selling an
art piece which was drawn by sugar for 10 years. He has excellent skill, his
work was amazing. He has his own philosophy when there is no customer he spends
his time reading a book. As I was tired because I walked a lot, I sat and watched
him. There are not many customers, we had some chat. He said that he learned
this drawing picture with sugar 10 years ago. He has his own philosophy of his
art and he is proud of his art too. The conversation with him reminded me the
words "Steadiness will always prevail," by Moon Youngshik. He can
draw almost everything such as a bird.bee and goldfish. It is only 10 Yuan per
a piece. This street artist said that he wants to this work forever, even
though he can't make lots of money out of this job; this is the thing what he
can do best.
This artist also said that steady and
persistent efforts and practice make you to achieve your goal. He said he still practices
regularly. When he saw this sugar painting first time, instantly he liked it. So
he practiced and practiced again. It wasn't easy at first. But after consistent
practicing he eventually is able to do well like this. He said that the most
important thing to remember is “Don't act in haste or be hot-headed”. I asked
him to make a pair of bird. Even though it was too good art piece to eat but as
it is made with sugar I can’t take it to home. It was very very sweet. After I
ate a half of the bird I dropped it by mistake. Both of us feel sad because the
art piece was dropped on the ground.
Then I thought his philosophy can be
applied to make retail bags too. I have to make steady and persistent effort to
make perfect retail bags. Once I disassemble a retail bag of luxury brand. They
made the retail bag very unique method. I was surprised the way they make the
package. It demands rise of labor costs but it reduces faulty. Once again I
realized why it is called as masterpiece.
Pay attention to every detail, we need to
invest more our effort and endurance. Meeting this street sugar work artist was
a great chance to learn many things. I want to make masterpiece retail bags and
to achieve my goal I will make consistent and steady efforts.
We make brand value!
