Personal – Youn Jung Chung

“You get up two and a half million dollars, any asshole in the world knows what to do.

You get a house with a 25 year roof, an indestructible Jap-economy shitbox, you put the rest into the system at three to five percent to pay your taxes and that’s your base, get me?

That’s your fortress of fucking solitude.
That puts you, for the rest of your life, at a level of fuck you.

Somebody wants you to do something, fuck you.
Boss pisses you off, fuck you!
Own your house. Have a couple bucks in the bank. Don’t drink.
That’s all I have to say to anybody on any social level. Did your grandfather take risks?

Jim Bennett: Yes.

Frank: I guarantee he did it from a position of fuck you.
A wise man’s life is based around fuck you.
The United States of America is based on fuck you.
You have a navy? Greatest army in the history of mankind?
Fuck you! Blow me. We’ll fuck it up ourselves.

About Sergeant Seung Hyun Chung

Last year my grandfather shared with me an essay he wrote. It was in Korean so I couldn’t read it. I wish I had read it earlier because this essay is his story and it explains so much.

I am sharing his story here.

What I Learned in 2019

*“A billion dollars.” – The Social Network (2010*)

This year has been another one of those years that is ending in a different place than I could have ever imagined.

Meditations on Emptiness

I meditated this morning and it helped me realize the stillness that I read about yesterday in Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holiday and saw in the documentary Free Solo.

Talent, Mastery, Esports, and Teamwork

I’ve never done cocaine but I used to play competitive esports before it was a thing and it was one of the most exhilarating times I’ve ever had in my life. The other exhilarating times in my life were the first months after starting my first business and also the first months after meeting the love of my life.

Maybe that paints a picture of how exhilarating it was. It was like a drug.

Cut the Bullshit

If you follow my blog or social media, you may have wondered, what has Youn been up to and been doing all these months?

To answer your question, I think I’ve spent the past two years mourning my grandma’s death. I wasn’t sad or crying during this whole time but I was emotionally and psychologically stuck.

If you’ve seen the TV show Dark, it was like I was making progress on moving forward but then I would hit an invisible roadblock of feelings that I could not overcome and that I was going through over and over again.

What I Learned in 2018

Last year I learned how to build a 7 figure Amazon business and then my grandmother passed away. It was a tough time for me. I asked myself a lot of questions in 2018. This year I learned that I could scale 7 figure businesses, found clarity, and more. Continue reading What I Learned in 2018

Lessons from my Grandfather

I spent most of my childhood running around on my own, prowling the neighborhood when I got older. I also spent a lot of time with my grandparents who piggybacked me as a baby or held my hand as we walked to the park. My grandparents are my superheroes. Continue reading Lessons from my Grandfather

Ethics in a Capitalist Society

Last year I figured out how to build my first 7 figure business but I never did because when I looked at what I was selling, I saw something else other than money. Continue reading Ethics in a Capitalist Society
