안중근 추모기념 에세이 콘테스트

Korea Times (한국일보 영자판) 에서 주최한 안중근 추모기념 에세이 콘테스트에서 수상을 했습니다 :)

 

요새 '아리랑'(님 웨이즈 지음)을 읽으면서 독립운동가들에 대한 존경심을 키우고 있는 동안,

안중근 의사님 100주념 추모 기념 에세이가 열린다기에...

크게 기대치 않고 적었던 것이 예상외로 결과가 좋았던 것 같습니다.

 

무엇보다 이번 수상으로 에세이에 대한 자신감이 부쩍 생겼네요!!!

 

GE-McKinsey Leadership Workshop 에 가서도 들었던,

사람은 실패가 아닌 성공을 통해 더 많은 것을 배운다. 는 말이...

뼈저리게 실감됩니다.

 

앞으로 더 큰 무대도 도전해 볼 용기가 생겼습니다!!!
