From Publishers Weekly:

In an optimistic life guide reminiscent of the philosophies of Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale, the founder and CEO of Seoul-based Daewoo, the world's 45th-largest industrial empire, relates how he rose from newsboy to leader of a business with international sales of $22 billion in 1991. Kim dispenses advice in short takes and aphorisms--all of which suggest that intense study, hard work, self-confidence, persistence and fair dealing beget "accomplishment, fulfillment, personal development and contribution to society." Hortatory examples include "If you are just holding your own, others are passing you by"; "Make easy decisions first, it gets them out of the way"; and "In true competition, there is no end that can justify unfair means." According to Kraar, a member of Fortune 's editorial board, "Kim personifies the drive and imagination that make East Asia a dynamic center of economic growth."
