Kim Woo-Choong Quote
During World War II and the Korean War, Americans were the world's leaders. But recently Americans seem to lack initiative and leadership. Maybe Americans have failed to adjust to the new world, or maybe they are getting lazy. I think former generations of Americans worked for pride, for their children and for a sense of accomplishment. Today, it seems a lot of Americans are working only for leisure—they work so they can take time off. That is an alien concept in Asia. Here at Daewoo, we work for pride, not leisure.
