In a hundred or thousand years the mountain and the same environment will be the same, but the people will be different. If we keep in mind that life is just a short journey, we will want to spend a little more time and do a little more, hoping to sow good seeds in this world.” His philosophy is his greatest capital for successful business ventures.
