Everything starts from positive thinking

In an organization can be divided into 3 groups:
20% have positive thoughts
60% are easy to change between positive and negative
and the remaining 20% have negative thoughts.

These are shared by Mr. Kim Ju Kyum - Production Improvement Specialist, belonging to Samsung Electronics Korea, in an improvement training session.

During the consultation section, Mr. Jukyum Kim constantly emphasized the importance of positive thinking and willingness to change. Taking the example of the "Han River Miracle" from Korea after the Korean War, Korea's "dragonize" road is considered a lesson for many countries around the world. All breakthrough changes start from thinking to change positively.

Mr. Kim expressed his expectation on a team of employees who actively learn and work, both in terms of knowledge and skills to implement innovative projects and professional ethics to meet for development goals.
