This morning, the trip to the KB Securities training center in Mabuk-dong, Yongin was pure drama.
I left my accommodation a full hour early, yet couldn’t get a taxi for over 30 minutes.
I was flustered for a moment, but I couldn’t give up.
In the end, I walked up to a car waiting at a traffic light and gently knocked on the window.
Someone on their way home from work kindly offered me a ride, and I arrived at the venue exactly 10 minutes early.
Truly… my lifesaver today.
It also reminded me of a frantic moment 30 years ago, when I had to catch a Shinkansen in Tokyo.
Back then, too, a Japanese office worker gave me a ride to Tokyo Station.
Getting help in an unexpected moment like this warms the heart.
The session was held for new hires at Miwon Corporation and its affiliates, on the theme “Smart Work with AI.”
The world these new hires will live in will be one where AI and robots are a natural part of everyday life.
So rather than just introducing the technology, I designed the session so we could work out how to apply it to real work, and practice it together.
I was struck by the participants’ focus and sharp questions. They gave me, the instructor, a chance to rethink and organize my own ideas once more.
Between the lecture and the journey, it was a day I won’t forget.
Once again, I’d like to thank the person who helped me this morning.
