The Importance of Experience

Ultimately, what companies expect from talent is experience. It's like buying experience with money. And that experience includes the positive energy, culture, and networking that the person brings. If you haven't experienced it, you can't do it. My experience building a website with React and Redux shone through and enabled me to create HBH.

The Importance of Time

In most cases, there's no such thing as a bad experience. Because even bad experiences can serve as lessons of what not to do. However, if you have bad experiences too frequently, it can lead to poor outcomes, so you need to be careful.

Driving Lessons

I paid 600,000 won — a large sum — for driving lessons. It was worth every penny. Because as a beginner, it gives you the experience of actually going out on real roads, which is hard to get otherwise. And the instructor's value lies in passing on that experience to me. You can't learn to drive just by reading about it. The fastest way to improve is the experience of actually getting out on the road.

English and Coding

I think English and coding are similar to driving lessons. The experience of actually talking with foreigners is truly valuable. But since it's hard to secure time for conversation, we fill in the gaps with self-study and media like dramas and other content.

Good learning materials let the reader experience things, and good colleagues let you experience things.

Simple knowledge transfer is hard to build real depth. Let's use hands-on educational platforms like KodeKloud and DataSchool as much as possible. And the fastest way to grow is the experience of building something yourself.

Compressed Experience

If you can compress and experience knowledge despite time limitations, that's even better. That's exactly what books, lectures, and good articles are. Direct experience is great, but for efficiency, let's also learn through indirect experience.

Praise, Recognition, and the Character of Lifting Others Up

Social intelligence and humility are important.
