- Recently, I watched Shukaworld content and it made me think again about the importance of family time. I emphasize that we should not neglect our family relationships, and I talk about the importance of living a life dedicated to our families.
- Through the story of Adam Laroche, who gave up a 15.5 billion won annual salary and chose retirement for his family, and the case of Justin Welsh, who chose a 4-day, 5-hour workweek, we see an attitude of life that values time with family over money.

Recently, I saw content related to family on Sookaworld and thought I needed to reaffirm my own values. While people may have different perspectives, I believe this is an aspect we shouldn't overlook.
It is said that Koreans consider even life at home a form of 'work'. That's why we call it 'housework'. Furthermore, Koreans don't seem to find high levels of satisfaction from building good relationships with family and spending time with them at home. Family-related matters have gradually become a source of exhaustion.
Adam Laroche, who played for the Chicago White Sox in the US MLB, announced his retirement with the hashtag #FamilyFirst after the team prohibited his son from entering the locker room where his father worked, due to his son's frequent visits. He was earning a salary of 15.5 billion won but chose his family over that income.
It makes me think again about the reason we earn money. I wonder if we're trying to appear impressive, extraordinary, or superior to others. Yes, in Korea, if you drive a Mercedes-Maybach and change lanes, most cars behind you will give way. Or, people passing by might look enviously at those cars. I do too.
But, if we lack family, which is essentially the most important aspect of our lives, how can it fill us with happiness and satisfaction? I believe that being able to live with loved ones, even if it means earning less money, is happiness. I believe we work hard today to spend precious time with them.
Justin Welsh, ranked first in LinkedIn brand reputation, said he has planned a routine of working 4 days a week, less than 5 hours a day. He says he spends all his time outside of work on his family and himself.
Yesterday, my father and brother's birthdays coincided, and I paid for all the lunch and cake expenses. I felt proud. I also gave up football commentary for my family, so I will continue to work hard for my family today.
