11th January
On the 11th of January in the year 2001, I had started to stage the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered. I recalled that my father had always made it a rule to start everything on a day with the number one. In reality he died on the 1st November. It was an extremely sad day, however, I considered that this was not a mere coincidence and that he should be happy as he remained true to his conviction till the very end. Since then ten years have passed and I was motivated to make this year a prosperous one. At the skyrocket center, many volunteers and staff members gathered to celebrate this, and eventually Mr. Idaki Shin also came, so I decided to film an interview program with him in front of them. So it became a truly commemorative day and I recalled that I had recovered from the mental abyss by practicing sales activities as advised by Mr. Idaki Shin. He said that according to a well known management book in USA, the best salesman in the world throughout history was Jesus Christ, who delivered his way of life to people all over the world. This story became a bearing for my life and I had started to think over what I had had as something valuable for the benefit of the rest of people and wished to develop this. Now that I had created the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert project, I was realizing my dream in reality. In the process of creating this program both of my parents had died and while I traced my roots, occasionally I encountered Phoenician historic sites and the birth place of humankind in Ethiopia. My life was guided by unknown beings and many accidental things had started always to open up my future so that I considered that my project became a universal legend so that people all over the world could appreciate this. I felt great gratitude to my wonderful life full of glorious guidance.
