2. 기억하고 싶은 문장

 

Everyone plays an important part, an essential part. : 모든 사람들이 중요한 역할, 핵심적 역할을 합니다.

 

The power doesn’t come from the title, the power come from trust, respect, vision, work and again collaboration. : 그 힘은 직책에서 나오지 않습니다. 그 힘은 신뢰, 존경, 비전, 작품, 그리고 협업에서 나옵니다.

 

You didn’t get that part, that’s my point, ‘Next’, you’ll get the next one, or the next one after that. : 여러분 배역을 얻지 못했나요? 제가 말하는 포인트가 바로 그겁니다. ‘다음!’ 여러분은 다음 기회를 얻을 것입니다. 그게 안 되면 또 다음이 있습니다.
