Chung Ju Yeong, born in 1915 to impoverished Korean farmers in what is now North Korea, aspired to be a teacher. However, the lack of access to higher education seemed insurmountable. He fled home multiple times as a teenager, learning various trades through odd jobs. Despite his attempts, his father always brought him back to work on the family farm. In his final escapade, he sold his father's cow for a train ticket to Seoul. In Seoul, Chung started as a deliveryman at a rice store. His exceptional performance led to a promotion in just six months, handling the store's accounting and honing his business acumen. In 1937, the ailing store owner handed over ownership to Chung. Business prospered until 1939 when Japanese-imposed rice rationing forced him to close. After returning home disheartened, Chung soon found himself back in Seoul. He invested his savings in a small garage, entering the automobile repair industry. Within a few years, his garage employed 70 people and thrived. Yet, in 1943, Japanese forces coerced him to merge his garage with a steel plant to support the war effort, once again causing him to lose his business. Following Korea's liberation in 1946, Chung utilized his remaining savings to establish Hyundai, anticipating a significant opportunity for national reconstruction and industrialization. His gamble paid off, propelling him to become South Korea's wealthiest individual. In 1998, Chung sent 1,001 cows through the DMZ to North Korea as repayment for the single cow he had taken from his father to finance his journey south. A spokesperson noted, "He has always been thinking that he owes something to the cows." When asked about the key to his success, he responded, "Our people succeeded because they devoted their enterprising spirits. They used the forces of other mind. Conviction... creates indomitable efforts. This is the key to (true) miracles... Man's potential is limitless."

I remember seeing this at the time and thinking it was goofy. I’m not saying it’s all correct, but I’m definitely not laughing at it anymore.

For the record, I’m unconvinced that the MMR vaccine causes autism. I’m unconvinced that RFK is right about WiFi or cellphones. I think he’s absolutely right about the covid jab and after seeing the unbelievable amount of corruption, dishonestly and inaccurate stuff coming from the medical establishment over the last few years, I’m willing to consider that maybe he’s right about it all.
