0 대표의 마음은 몇 번 바뀔까How many times does a boss's mind change?
From hiring someone to parting ways, how many times does a boss's mind turn? Every one of those turns is a 心 word — interest, doubt, resolve, relief, greed, change of heart.
- 관심 → 의심 → 결심 → 안심
- → 욕심 → 변심
1 만나기 전 — 관심, 의심, 결심Before: interest, doubt, resolve
關心 interest — the mind turns toward them. 疑心 doubt — 'unable to be sure, so unable to trust'. Not malice: you simply do not know yet. Then 決心 — the mind is settled.
2 함께 일하며 — 안심, 열심, 합심Together: relief, zeal, one mind
安心 relief — you can hand work over. On the staff side: 熱心 a hot mind, 合心 minds joined. When a company runs well, it runs on these three.
3 욕심이 나는 순간When greed enters
慾心 greed — the dictionary is blunt: 'to covet or want beyond one's measure'. That phrase, beyond one's measure, is where things start to slip. Then 勞心焦思: the mind worn and scorched.
4 의심은 두 번 온다Doubt comes twice
Doubt comes twice — once at the start from not knowing, once at the end from knowing. Then 變心, the mind turns; and 寒心, the mind goes cold. 熱心's opposite is 寒心 — and here that lands hard.
5 진심은 두 글자다There are two 진심
眞心 is a true mind; 盡心 is giving your whole mind. A boss owes the first, a worker gives the second. And 初心 — the mind you began with. If it can return there, it never reaches 變心.
- 眞心 참 진 ≠ 盡心 다할 진
- 초심 初心 — 처음에 먹은 마음
