Today, it is not as easy for us to achieve remarkable success as we did in the past. It might be because we are not as eager to challenge because we fear failure and are anxious about the uncertainties of future. As you may already know, the Korean society experienced the ¡®venture crisis¡¯ few years ago. As the solitude after a typhoon, our economy has fallen into a deep depression.

The year saw many ups and downs in politics, economy, and society. We see prospects that this year would not be any better for many industries. What we fear is the continuing depression in investment, growth without increasing employment, and long-term depression in economy.

However, we must keep ourselves be determined. We must be able to accept failure even when we see no hope. Every successful man has had the mindset to learn from failures. This mindset is what we need as entrepreneurs. If you aim to succeed in your field, this is absolutely essential.

An economist once pointed out, ¡°If a company stops making investment due to various negative economic indexes, it is giving up the future.¡± Depression in investment eventually depresses domestic businesses and reduces growth potentials.

When we received the IMF rescue funds, we shared the burdens to overcome the national crisis. It is time we gather our capacities and wisdom once again. The power to convert crisis into opportunity is having a belief in the possibilities.

TechWorld Co., Ltd. is goal for this year is to return what we have received. Our priority objective is ¡®value creation for readers and advertisers.¡¯ In this year, we will achieve innovation for the objective.
