One of the key lessons I've learned in my career is the importance of change.

Quotes:
One of my favorite quotes is "Ask every day and answer every day." This phrase reflects both my working style and one of the core values of our company. The business environment is constantly changing, and asking questions is essential to understanding and adapting to it. The process of posing new questions daily and seeking answers is the foundation of innovation and growth.
This slogan also conveys an important message to our team members. When we openly ask questions and listen to each other's opinions, we can arrive at better solutions and ideas. "Ask every day and answer every day" is not just a simple motto; it is our commitment to growing together through continuous learning and communication.
