Author's Note

“The most important thing I want to talk about is how to talk to your inner self.
I think success is 'what kind of person I grow into.'
“I have to constantly think about and practice what I like, what I want to do, and what kind of work I want to create.”
_From the text

“Work is not simply about making money and living, but it is truly about personal development.
I also think that defining what kind of person I am is an important part of life.
I always wanted to be a creator, and I dreamed of continuing to do my own work as I got older.
I wanted to tell my daughter and my readers about my serious attitude towards such things.
So, at the age of 24, I wrote about my experiences from working part-time at a PC room after graduating from high school to becoming a Google engineer 10 years later, and published it as a book.”
