Lesson 5: If this way isn't... then go the other way. 🚶‍♀️

📓 if a workplace was our dream job, we had fun, we were dedicated, and we made every effort to do our best.

But year after year, it's still the same place. It's not a promotion. It's a small salary increase.

Seeing the same generation overtake us, we start to burn out, work day by day, and finally become unconscious deadwood.

At the time, I just thought, "At least it's safe."

But the truth is, the passion in my heart is extinguished.

☄️ working with passion is good, but passion is always something that "can be exhausted and rebuilt."

Like when I was working on an oversight job, I had a dream of being the best drafter.

Even when I went to America, I told my teacher, "I want to study because it's useful for my job."

The whole room, no one is foreign but me, but fortunately many teachers fully understand and help.

Some people went to the next book, and I knew that I was not as basic as the practitioners in the American capital market.

When I was looking for a new job, I knew my strength was "knowing deep capital market criteria and laws."

So just do your job to the fullest. Someday someone will see

🌈 the turning point of my professional life (career pivot) came from "daring to admit we were on the wrong track" and understanding that -

We can't change organizations, so the lightest solution is to change ourselves.

As soon as I opened up, I saw that the world was wider than I thought.

What I was afraid of wasn't as scary as I imagined.

Like, at first I thought going to law firm must be tired, heavy and brutal.

But in an office with good systems, good colleagues and professional customer-FA work,

It's back, "Fun until forgetting tired."

I am really happy and proud to be involved in capital market transactions.

When you move late, compliance from "directing others" becomes "directed."

I realized... really, it's not scary if the organization gives independence to compliance.

And foreign companies often have strict and clear policies because they have to comply with laws in many countries.

👩 then, when I asked my mom if it was good to move.

She said briefly,

"Life begins at 30. If you want to do something, do it quickly."

And it's true -

As soon as I moved, I had to start adapting to a new environment, and I felt alive again.

Every day is learning.

Every job change is a lesson.

I never worshiped my old job because the past is what passed.

The most valuable thing is today - just do your best.

If that day I dare not change,

I wouldn't have a good enough income to take care of my family in times of need.

I used to have $70,000-100,000 a month when my father was sick until he died.

But it still passes with the force of "daring to start over."

On days when many people are still afraid

I have also taken my mother on many trips to Europe and Asia.

Have a Storage Money, Have a Stable Life - Something in my twenties I never thought I could do.

📌 but let's emphasize that "re-initiation" must be based on planning, not impulsiveness.

I never quit without a new job waiting, knowing that financial stability is the best shield of mind.

Starting over doesn't necessarily take unnecessary risks; just "get ready before you step" is enough.

Because finally -

🌍 The world gives opportunities to people who are not afraid to start over.
