Epilogue

He is a person who is willing to share what is truly needed.

In recent years, tens of thousands of people have become fans of Chairman Kim Seung-ho.
It was truly thrilling to meet the head of a global conglomerate, a billionaire with assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars, who travels between the United States, Korea, and other countries around the world, and is about to be listed on the NASDAQ.
For everyone, that incident(?) was a memory that would remain in their memory for a long time.
Some were trembling, some were amazed, and some considered him a mentor and teacher.

However, any celebrity who has made a splash in their time will eventually lose popularity and be forgotten by the public.
No matter how wealthy a man is, what does his wealth have to do with me?
But sincerity and truthfulness are what capture the hearts of the world and the people who fill it.
Chairman Kim Seung-ho allocated and arranged his time, staying in Korea solely at his own expense, and met many people, including businessmen and CEOs, as well as children, young people, and housewives, who all wanted to live better lives.
Since 2016, I have been living in Korea for a long time, teaching young entrepreneurs from various fields at the Chung-Ang University Lifelong Education Center and staying with them as a mentor who shares their concerns.
He was my brother, my older brother, my teacher, and my mentor.
He loved to embrace people as family members and became an uncle to dozens of people.

His inner self is revealed in the various titles used to call him.
Some people blindly believe in him and like him.
But until he was nearly 40, he was a poor immigrant father who would put one blackened arm on the door of an old truck and load up the fruits and vegetables he sold that day.
He was a man who had spent days without being able to see ahead of him, even though he and his wife, along with his elderly parents and younger siblings, had worked for a whole week.
He has engraved in his bones what poverty is and how money is so cruel and sad it makes people.
That is why my father was a man who never missed the opportunity that came his way and who absolutely had to break the cycle of poverty in his generation.
This determination and his experience of poverty made him a 'manager' of money.
He became the richest man in the world, something that no one else could achieve.
He devoted all his energy to creating seed money, understanding the properties and characteristics of money, and becoming a true money manager who multiplied it by tens of thousands of times.

He is a person who intends to share the truth of wealth that he has realized with many people.
Because it reflects my younger self who wanted to gain wealth and protect my family.



Will I ever become rich?

Some people are reluctant to talk about money and consider it vulgar, but the author argues that such an act of denigrating the value of money is hypocritical.
When we consider the importance of money in life, no one can be free from the influence of money.
That is why the author defined the nature of money in a very unique way: he referred to it as a person.
Let's hear his logic.

If you keep money in your house because you love it too much, it will try to get out at any opportunity and tell other money not to come because its owner is a miser.
They don't even help those who don't respect them become rich.
Money spent on worthy causes and good works will be appreciated and will come back to its owner with more money, but if you spend it on bars or gambling, it will turn its back on you in misery.

Money is a physical entity with emotions, so you should love it but not excessively, embrace it when you need to, but let it go when it needs to go, and never ignore it or treat it carelessly.
Rather, we should respect and be grateful.
For people with this mindset, money offers them the opportunity to imagine, approach them, and try to protect them.
Fortunately, money doesn't have any aftereffects, so if you respect yourself from today on, regardless of your past actions, money will forget everything and respect you.


Money that has been brought into the hands of the powerful or the wealthy through kidnapping, violence, or illegal means will always be waiting for the day to escape or will harm its owner to escape, so you should never even think about becoming friends with dangerous money.
If you use the money in your pockets with dignity and with the people you love and the things that are worth protecting, the money that is watching you will also bring in more friends.
Since I am not a slave to money and money is not my possession, we live together in a relationship of deep respect rather than a hierarchical one.


As the old saying goes, 'Teach a man how to fish, not give him a fish.'
We are all in different circumstances.
Their intellectual levels are different and their economic situations are also different.
So what benefits someone else may not benefit me.
Through this book, “The Nature of Money,” we must learn how to become a farmer who creates, protects, and cultivates money.
