When my father walked with me to the train station, I saw many seagulls flying over the Hai River. It reminded me that when I was in middle school, I sat by the Hai River with my classmate, drinking beer and watching seagulls during the lunch break. At that time, there were not so many seagulls in our city, so they were very new to us. We talked about what they were. Normally, we called them seagulls, but it was a river. She said, "Then they are river gulls." When I was young, there was a very popular Korean drama called "Autumn in My Heart." The protagonist said that if she had another life, she wanted to be a tree, so she would not be separated from anything around her. If a tree had feelings, it would not have been so lush green.

One of the primary advantages of a family business is the strong sense of trust and loyalty that often exists between family members. This bond can lead to a cohesive team that works well together, with each member committed to the success of the business. Family members are typically more willing to go the extra mile to ensure the company’s growth because of their deep personal stake in its success. This trust also means that decisions can often be made more quickly, as family members tend to know each other well and can avoid lengthy approval processes. Another key advantage is the long-term focus that family businesses often have. Unlike publicly traded companies that may prioritize quarterly profits, family businesses tend to think in terms of generational sustainability. Family owners are typically interested in preserving the business for future generations, which encourages a longer-term perspective when making business decisions. However, despite these advantages, family businesses also face significant disadvantages. One of the most prominent challenges is the potential for family conflicts to impact the business. Disagreements between family members over business decisions, roles, or financial matters can lead to tension and division. Personal issues, such as sibling rivalries or generational differences, can spill over into the workplace, harming the company’s reputation and overall productivity. Resolving these conflicts can be more difficult than in non-family businesses, as emotions often play a bigger role in decision-making.
