Be good like water: life management lessons from Park Geun-hye to women

Chapter 26 Facing the Future: Recognize Your Direction (2)
Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen was only 16 years old when she broke the world record. Even the usually unfriendly British had to send countless praises to this little Chinese girl.When a reporter interviewed Ye Shiwen with what strength she used to dare to challenge the world record, the little girl just smiled innocently: "I didn't think so much, I just wanted to swim faster."

Everyone has the possibility to create miracles, whether it is Park Geun-hye who has a heavy responsibility, the great mother who bravely rescued her son, or the record-breaking Ye Shiwen, as long as you pay a little more, work harder, and go faster, you will be able to gain incomparably huge success.This success is enough to surprise yourself, because you are far better than you think.

Remembering history is to welcome a better tomorrow
Park Geun-hye liked history since she was a child. When she was in school, she read through the historical documents of various countries in the world, which enabled her to look at South Korea's revival and development with a profound historical perspective.Park Geun-hye's heart is always full of sincere respect and gratitude for everything that has happened on this land of South Korea, and for those who have made great sacrifices for today's South Korea.She firmly believes that remembering and respecting history is to open up a better future for South Korea.

Gong Zizhen, a litterateur in the Qing Dynasty once said: "To know the great way, you must first learn history. To destroy a country, you must first learn its history." Former West German President Weizsäcker also said: "Those who close their eyes to history , I can’t see the future.” Remembering history is the best watch for the future.

During Park Geun-hye's visit to China in 2005, Chongqing was included in her itinerary.For this arrangement, her accompanying secretary was very puzzled. In a short five-day visit itinerary, there were already many places to go, and she had to transfer several times by plane. Why did she need to visit Chongqing additionally?

It turns out that the last temporary government office building of the Republic of Korea still remains in Chongqing. In 1932, after the righteous act in Hongkou Park, Martyr Yoon Bong-gil fled for 13000 miles to avoid the encirclement and suppression of Japan, and finally settled in Chongqing in 1940.A series of important historical events such as the founding of the Korean Restoration Army, the declaration of war against Japan, the entry of the Indian-Burmese front into the war, and the promotion of the US Office of Strategic Intelligence’s domestic offensive plan all testify to the important role played by the Chongqing Provisional Government in the great historical process of Korea’s liberation.

When visiting the temporary government office building, Park Geun-hye and his party presented flowers to the bronze statue of the martyrs and paid their respects in silence.The scenes of those patriotic martyrs who were driven away by the Japanese army every day, were plagued by illness, endured hunger, and fought hard in the harsh environment seemed to be vividly remembered. Park Geun-hye felt extremely bitter and respectful in her heart.Her visit not only allowed the Korean people who followed her to re-examine the arduous struggle, but also deepened the mutual trust and sincere friendship between the Chinese and Korean people.As she wrote in the thank you card to the citizens of Chongqing: "The people of the Republic of Korea still remember the help given by the citizens of Chongqing when our ancestors set up a provisional government in Chongqing for the independence of the motherland. The Chongqing interim government office building with the spirit of the ancestors has been completely preserved, and now, on behalf of the Korean people, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the citizens of Chongqing with a thank you card."

The memory of the war is painful, but it also makes people realize that today's good life is hard-won, and we should cherish everything we have.In the future, all countries in the world must unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development, and let the sunshine of peace and happiness shine on this planet where human beings live.This is the enlightenment given to us by history, and it is the sense of historical responsibility and mission that people living in contemporary times should have.

Some people say that history is a mirror, which can reflect the vicissitudes of the world and the various states of life; history is also like the sea, which contains deep emotions and the source of wisdom.Time can pass by, but human conscience cannot pass away, let alone history.No matter where and when we are, those past events are worth revisiting.In the tracing of history, we can get a lot of teaching and enlightenment, and gain a lot of wisdom and courage. More importantly, remembering and respecting history can make our future path clearer and clearer.

Looking at the rise and fall of the world and the changes of the times is not only a heavy responsibility on the shoulders of political figures, but also a homework that every ordinary person of us should do well.Perhaps looking back at history will make many people feel unhappy, painful, humiliated, and ashamed. It is precisely because of this that it shows that we still have a strong desire for happiness and a beautiful vision for tomorrow in our hearts.

History is the record of human beings summarizing yesterday, and it is also the guide for human beings to grasp today and create tomorrow.To remember history is not to let yourself live in the past, but to transcend history and create the future!
Recognize the direction to the world stage
Park Geun-hye found that those Korean compatriots living all over the world have one thing in common, which is a strong love for the motherland.This love is so deep and so special.The special patriotism of Koreans is an important asset for South Korea's future development, and it is also the direction for Park Geun-hye to advance to the world stage.

Every time Park Geun-hye visits a foreign country, she will first arrange to meet the Korean overseas Chinese on the first day of her arrival. This is her unique way of paying tribute to the Korean overseas Chinese who are able to persevere and take root in a foreign country.When meeting overseas Chinese, she always wears Hanbok.Hanbok is not just clothing, but a symbol of Korean culture and national spirit.She hopes that through the use of Hanbok, overseas Chinese living far away can feel the feelings of the motherland, even if it is only for a short time.

What is Park Geun-hye's direction on the world stage?To put it simply, through economic recovery and rapid development, the country will become stronger and stronger, and it will have more voice and decision-making power on major issues on the world stage, thereby helping Korean overseas Chinese living in other countries to improve their political status. status, improve the living environment, strengthen national cohesion, and at the same time promote Korean culture to the world.

In Japan, many Korean overseas Chinese generously contributed their hard-earned property savings to the country for the country's development during the country's most difficult period.However, Park Geun-hye is worried about the differential treatment and pressure they experienced locally.Park Geun-hye has repeatedly mentioned to the Japanese side the request for assistance in guaranteeing local suffrage for Korean overseas Chinese in Japan. Although this matter has not been concluded so far, she will still do her best to facilitate this matter in the future.

In China, Park Geun-hye witnessed the current situation of Korean international schools. What those people who did not forget the culture of their motherland went through in foreign elite schools made her feel heavy.In the future world, I believe that there will be more Koreans scattered all over the world. At that time, their only way to connect is their mother tongue.She believes that the government should try its best to let Korean expats learn Korean no matter where they go in the world from now on.This is the responsibility she must undertake as the leader of a country.

The living conditions and social status of Korean expatriates living in Germany and the United States have been significantly improved. This is the most gratifying thing for Park Geun-hye.But she thinks this is far from enough. The direction of her efforts is to let South Korea continue to occupy an important place on the world stage where there are many powerful countries.

Park Geun-hye's experience once again confirms the fact that the era when men controlled the destiny of the world is gone forever.Take the political world as an example. The participation rate of women in politics around the world is about 20%. These women in the political arena who do not give up to men are either still standing at the top of power, or they have once been all-powerful in the political arena.Therefore, today's women should take the initiative to establish a "worldview", put their eyes on the wider world, and dare to take more responsibilities in various fields on the international stage.

In the process of breaking the barriers of patriarchy, many women have moved from dependence to independence, from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.In China in the 20s, Chinese women’s income accounted for only 50% of the total household income, but today’s Chinese women have grasped China’s rapid development with their extremely high educational background, keen wisdom and perseverance. Opportunity has become an industry leader in many fields such as technology, real estate, environmental protection, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, sports, etc., and has been widely recognized and respected even in the international community.For example, Zhu Linyao, the queen of flavors, Dai Xiuli, the first beauty boss in Chinese professional football, Yao Yunzhu, China's first expert on international military issues, Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization, and Zhang Ziyi, the cover character of the US "Time Magazine", etc.They not only have beautiful appearance and gentle personality, but also have the wisdom and strength to turn decay into magic and turn hostility into friendship on the world stage.

Many women in ordinary life always habitually believe that their bounden duty is to take care of their families, and they seldom pay attention to the social changes and political dynamics in their own countries, let alone the world stage.Regardless of whether we really have the chance to become a shining star in the international political arena like Park Geun-hye, we should at least have a global vision and heart.This allows us to examine our lives from a higher perspective, and to deal with many changes in the living environment with a broader mind.Especially when some major social events happen around us, we will not be full of complaints, accusations and abuse like others, or just do some meaningless things about some domestic and international news like many jokes circulating on the Internet There has never been any objective and calm analysis and commentary.No matter how big this world is, it belongs to each of us after all. We should put away our indifference, numbness and self-deprecation, and take more responsibility for making this world a better place.

Women should have the ambition and courage to go out of the palace and into the world.Be confident that your stunning beauty is destined to add a touch of color to the rigid and serious world stage.

A declaration to create the second "Miracle of the Han River"
On February 2013, 2, Park Geun-hye officially took office as the 25th president of South Korea, starting a new journey of South Korea's internal affairs and diplomacy in the next five years.In her inaugural speech, Park Geun-hye expressed that she would join hands with the people to face challenges and jointly create the second "Han River miracle" in South Korea.Park Geun-hye's bold words and lofty ambitions indicate that the prelude to striving to open the "Happy Same Era" in South Korea has already begun.

Park Geun-hye, as the first female president in South Korean history, has won everyone's applause with her unique insights and unique influence.In particular, the discourse on creating the second "Miracle of the Han River" immediately attracted widespread attention from the international world.Park Geun-hye proposed that she will lead the people to create a second "Han River miracle" based on the three core concepts of "economic revival", "national happiness" and "cultural formation".For this grand idea, Park Geun-hye has specific plans and plans.

On the domestic front, she will focus on improving the economy, creating jobs, narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, and increasing social welfare; in terms of foreign relations, she will focus on improving relations with North Korea and Japan, and while continuing to consolidate the South Korea-U.S. Develop relations with China.

Park Geun-hye always believes that today's South Korea was conceived with the blood and sweat of the Korean people. With strong will and courage, all people have completed South Korea's industrial and democratization construction and achieved great historical changes.To create the second "Han River Miracle" is to use personal happiness to promote the overall strength of the country in a new era full of hope, and a strong country will always belong to the people who build it.

Of course, with regard to the second "Miracle of the Han River", there are also doubts one after another.Some people think that as the first female president, it is doubtful whether she can realize her political ambitions in the male-dominated South Korean political arena; Park Geun-hye is facing a huge challenge; some people directly pointed out that in the context of the obvious slowdown of the Korean economy, it is impossible for Park Geun-hye to fulfill her promise.

Regarding these doubts and criticisms, Park Geun-hye does not need to take them to heart.If people have no ambition, where do those great achievements come from?People should dare to challenge the "impossible" and dare to declare war on fate. Such courage and courage can concentrate all their energy and strive to realize their lofty aspirations.

Ambition is not exclusive to men, women must also have "ambition". "Ambition" can prompt the indecisive women to act immediately to achieve their goals; it can drive them to go forward bravely and never back down;Such women must be strong in life. What they lose is the leisure and leisure while watching soap operas, but what they gain is the realization of the value of life and incomparably great achievements.

Known as "China's most intelligent woman" Yang Lan is such a "career".Having achieved success and fame, she was not satisfied with the status quo. When her career in Phoenix Satellite TV was in full swing, she chose to leave, ambitious to build a media empire of Sunshine Culture.For this plan of hers, there were rumors all over the place for a while, some people objected, some people questioned, and some people even slandered her, but none of this shook her determination. In March 2001, the market value of Sunshine TV on Nasdaq once reached 3 million yuan, and Yang Lan, who owns 8.4% of the shares, was also named the richest woman in China by Forbes.Yang Lan's former work partner commented on her: "People who know Yang Lan believe that she can fly, not only can she fly, but she can fly very far."

Therefore, women must dare to break the shackles of traditional concepts and dare to be more "ambitious" than men.But in life, many women dare not mention their lofty ideals and ambitions, for fear that they will be labeled as "strong women" by others and ridiculed. "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan", but a woman with great ambitions must be the most ruthless, the most affectionate, the most indifferent and the most enthusiastic person in the world.They chose silence in the pain and slander, and devoted all their enthusiasm to the pursuit of life ideals.If you clearly have your own lofty vision, but dare not act because of other people's evaluation, this is the greatest irony in life.Great ambition can burst out amazing power, and the desire for a sense of accomplishment can make a woman create countless miracles on the road of life!
Seek support and cooperation, and share the future with allies

Park Geun-hye has always had strong confidence in the establishment of the South Korea-US alliance, because South Korea is a grateful nation. No matter where the Koreans go in the world, they will definitely express their deepest gratitude to those who have helped South Korea.Park Geun-hye deeply understands that the economic revival of South Korea requires the support and help of many countries, especially the active cooperation with allies like the United States to share a bright future together.

The German philosopher Schopenhauer once said: "A single person is weak and powerless, just like Robinson Crusoe, he can accomplish many things only when he is with others."

Another famous German thinker, Goethe, also said: "No matter what the goal of hard work is, no matter what he does, he is always powerless alone. Being in a group is always the highest need of all kind-hearted people."

The survival and development of human society are inseparable from mutual support and cooperation. "A single tree cannot make a forest", and the power of cohesion is incomparable to that of a single individual.Whether it is between countries or between people, they must work together and cooperate with each other. Only in this way can those common goals and ideals be realized.

After the middle of the 20th century, South Korea and the United States formed a military alliance, and the United States directly built a military base in South Korea.However, with the advent of the 21st century, the world situation is changing, and the alliance between South Korea and the United States has also been challenged.
