Law of three

A person crossing a road pointed at the sky
No passerby took the time to look at the sky
Two people looked and pointed at the sky.
Nobody looked at what the two people were pointing.
Three people looked up and pointed at sky
Surprisingly, people stopped walking and stared at the empty sky.
 
October 17th, 2005, Cheonho station
An old man who was getting on the subway got stuck in  the gap.
One man shouted, “Let’s push together!”

However, nobody moved
At that instance, another man shouted, “I’ll help!”
In the middle of the silence, another shouted, “I will help, too!”
Three people started to push the subway
Others who hadn’t said anything started to push the subway
33 tons of subway leaned, and the people saved the old man
 
This is the Law of three that changes the world
This is the story of South Korea that will move the world with the Law of 3
The Japanese government says:
Give up because 97% of the world maps marks East Sea as the Sea of Japan
 
However, young Koreans say:
We are just starting because 3% of maps are marking it as the East Sea
In  2000: 3% of the maps marked East Sea
In 2011: 29% of the maps marked East Sea
 
Their road has been reached, so they cannot go forward
But we are just starting
 
Japanese textbook says

Repeated lies become the truth, so give up

However, young Koreans say
Truth will always be revealed. We are just starting,
They reached the dead end so they cannot  move on
We are just starting

Lies in Japanese textbooks distributed aroundthe world are becoming revealed through passionate  Young Koreans. Great wisdom embedded in Korean history illuminates even under those lies

It is becoming the hope of 21st century world citizens

They tell us
[World history textbooks] China = 30 pages / Japan = 20 pages / Korea = only 1 page
“Foreign students don’t have to opportunity to learn more about Korea’s history.”

However, young Koreans reply:
10,000 Koreans who advocate the Cyber diplomatic organization, VANK are distributing informational Korean textsto classes worldwide
 
They are already at a dead end
This moment is our start. We are starting right at this moment
 
Millions of Korean promotional materials that were delivered to classes around the world by young Koreans. These are used everywhere in the world to learn about Korea
 
They tell us
7,000 Chinese diplomats / 5,000 Japanese diplomats / Korean diplomats, only 2,000
“Give up  promoting public relations”

However, young Koreans say
Ten million Koreans who go abroad every year
They can all become Korean honorary ambassadors. This is just the beginning.
 
They have already reached the end, but it is a new start for us. The Passion of Koreans helped create the Cyber diplomatic organization, VANK, which consists of 70,000 members.  They are building a public diplomatic worldwide network

They talk to world citizens like this:
Korea is a country near Japan and China and is adim country that does not have existence presence.
 
However, young Koreans say proudly. Soon, China and Japan will be known as  ‘Countries near Korea’
Young Asians will call Korea as the country of my proud friend. They have nowhere to go, but we are just starting. Korea is the third in the world to send the most passionate volunteers overseas. Korea is growing to become the country that sends the most volunteers in the world.
 
They say
[2010 National brand ranking] Japan – 6th out of 110 countries / Korea only 44th
National brand lagging will darken Korea’s future.

However, young Koreans say
In 1960s, Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world
It’s great potential made it grow to be the 10th strongest economy in the world in 2007

Korean National Brand starts now
They already reached the end
We are just starting
 
Through the efforts of passionate young Koreans, Korea, after OECD was established in 1961
Changed from a ‘Receiving country’ to a ‘Giving country’
Korea became the first country in the world to record such an economic change

They tell  us
In 2011, Korea ranked 21st out of 34 countries on the list of Pro-social behavior in OECD
Trust level was only 25th out of 30 countries.
There is no way that foreigners will love Korea, one of the unkindest countries in the world. 

However, young Koreans tell them. Korean’s ‘Jeong’ is shared with foreigners who visit Korea
Someday, Korean’s Jeong will touch 60 hundred million world citizens.  They no longer know how to advance, but we just started.  Passionate Koreans lend a hand toward ten million visitors sharing  Jeong of Koreans
 
They tell us
Oil output – 0% / 97% of energy relies on imports
Have only 3% of energy
 
The country’s future is dark. However young Koreans say The Korean peninsula connects the Asian continent and thePacific Ocean
It places on the world’s best geographical strategic point
Starting with a 3% possibility
It is developing to become the most international and talented country
 
They have nowhere to advance. This is our just the beginning.
Through young Korean’s passion Korea grew to become one of the ten countries with strong commerce
 
They say this  Koreans, who inhabit only1% of the world population, cannot change the world.
However, young Koreans  respond the reason why the ocean does not rot is because there is 3% of salinity
That 3% keeps 97% of the ocean waters clean. They cannot go forward because they have reached the end
 

We are just starting. Passionate Koreans only make up 1% of the world population
Poverty spreading worldwide, climatic change, Human rights problems
They are setting the foundation to become  world changers, dealing with universal problems
Koreans will move the hearts of 60 hundred million people worldwide+
 
What does 3% mean to you?
What is that 3% that boost your passion?
And what is the 97% barrierthat blocks your passion
 
The 3% passion that Koreans found
I will change and influence the other 97% that make the world go round. 97%
 
Cyber diplomatic organization, VANK, assembles the 3% of passion that Koreans have
To start the challenge of uniting 60 hundred million people worldwide with the Korean peninsula
 
The Passion of young Koreans today will become the hope of people worldwide.
