Prosecutor general inauguration: Right prosecution, right responsibility

Greetings, family of prosecutors across the country.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the prosecutors’ families who have been fulfilling their duties under difficult conditions. Thanks to your steadfast defense of the law and justice in your respective positions, I have a new start in this position.
It is with great personal honor and human emotion that I assume the important position of Prosecutor General again after leaving the Prosecutor’s Office ○ months ago, but given the reality of our situation and the challenges we face, I am overwhelmed with a heavy sense of responsibility. To ensure that this position is not just a personal honor, I will do everything in my power to further develop the prosecution organization and regain the trust of the public.
The road is long and there is much work to be done, but I have a clear goal that I want to achieve together with you: to regain the trust of the public and restore the honor and dignity of the prosecutor’s office by becoming a “righteous, dignified, and humble prosecutor.” Our goal is not merely an internal transformation; we will have to make changes in the eyes of the public and live up to the true meaning of the law.
To renew our resolve, I would like to share with you my thoughts on “right prosecutors,” “dignified prosecutors,” and “humble prosecutors.
Dear family of prosecutors!
A prosecutor can only be called a “good prosecutor” if he or she is dedicated to the prosecutor’s primary mission of “investigating crimes” and performs it properly. The basic task and function of a prosecutor is to establish justice by realizing the right to national punishment for ‘crimes’. If we fail to fulfill this mission, the raison d’être of the prosecutor’s office will be blurred.
I will continue to firmly uphold the principle of ‘focusing the prosecution’s capabilities on the fundamental tasks that the people need.’ Above all, we must not lose sight of the need to defend the liberal democratic basic order and establish the rule of law. The liberal democratic basic order is the foundation that has enabled the existence and development of our country and is a core value of the Constitution that transcends political positions.
Prosecutors, in particular, must resolutely confront any attempts to undermine national security based on their sense of duty to be responsible for the security of the nation and their sober awareness of the reality of the division between the two Koreas. This is not just part of their job; it is their role as the last line of defense for our society and people.
We must also strive to establish a culture of fair elections, which is the foundation for the development of democracy. We must play our part in ensuring that fraud and illegalities do not take hold while fully guaranteeing the freedom of campaigning. Election cases should be handled fairly and impartially without any political considerations to establish an election culture that people can trust.
We must take decisive action in accordance with the law against illegal collective behavior that threatens the well-being of our communities, and hold those responsible accountable, especially for attempts to neutralize legitimate law enforcement. Let us respect the autonomous dialogue between labor and management as much as possible, but if the law is violated, let us respond strictly without distinction between labor and management, and contribute to the establishment of industrial peace.
Dear prosecution family!
Our mission as “good prosecutors” is not limited to fighting crime and establishing law and order. Another important virtue we must uphold is our morality and discipline as public prosecutors. We must be “dignified prosecutors” who uphold the honor and dignity of public office.
This dignity does not come from external authority or power, but from the morality and professional ethics of prosecutors. We must always think deeply about how our actions will be viewed by the public and apply strict standards to ourselves. We must also strictly uphold the political neutrality of the prosecution and maintain a fair and objective view of ourselves so that the public can trust the prosecution under all circumstances.
We must also renew our resolve to dispel any suggestion that the prosecutor’s political neutrality is compromised. Prosecutors are not on anyone’s side, only the people’s side. The political neutrality of the prosecutor’s office cannot be imposed from the outside, but can only be fully upheld by the determination of all members of the office.
Investigations must always be just, not only in terms of outcome, but also in terms of procedure and process. The more high-profile the case, the more we will create a transparent case handling system that gathers members’ attention and carefully considers the will of the people.
Dear family of prosecutors!
Let us all be more humble. It is our duty as public servants to listen to the will of the sovereign and reflect it in our work. Prosecutors, who must look at various aspects of people’s lives to identify faults, should not try to make decisions based solely on the law when handling cases, but should always be humble and consider the reasoning of the world and the organization of people’s lives. Let us be more protective and considerate of the socially disadvantaged who are having difficulty obtaining their rights, so that they can participate in national development as dignified members of society.
Finally, I would like to conclude my inaugural address by quoting a passage from Paulo Coelho’s novel The Alchemist, which I am sure many of you have read: “There is one great truth in this world. It is that if you want something with all your heart, you will have it, because the heart that wishes for something comes from the heart of the universe.”
Let us all move forward, one step at a time, with a fervent desire for a new prosecutor and a strong will. I look forward to the endless enthusiasm and dedication of the prosecution family.
Thank you for listening.

Prosecutor General’s Inauguration: Pledge to uphold justice and human rights for the people

Dear prosecutorial family,
The past month or so has been a time of turbulence and turmoil, which has been difficult and painful for all of us in the prosecutorial family. The departure of Mr. ○○○ served as a reminder of how precious the political neutrality of the Prosecutor’s Office is. We must take it to heart so that his noble intentions do not go in vain. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your hard work during these difficult times, for carrying out your duties as prosecutors with determination and dignity, without wavering in your commitment.
As I stand here today, I feel a great sense of responsibility, not for personal glory, but for how to properly lead the prosecution organization in this era so that it can truly become the people’s prosecutor. Once again, I prayerfully review the role of the Prosecutor General in my heart, one by one, and adjust my posture.
To my family of prosecutors across the country, even as the world is connected through the internet and the times change from analog to digital, there is one mission of the prosecutor general that will never change. The defense of human rights and the realization of justice is the reason for our existence and the marker of our work. Human rights and justice are values that may sometimes be in conflict with each other, but they are the two driving forces that guide our work. When we exercise our prosecutorial power without being biased in either direction and become a balanced prosecutor, the people will trust and love us.
We must pursue these human rights and justice simultaneously and move forward to protect the vulnerable and establish a just social order. The development of society is only possible through the fair enforcement of the law and the dedicated efforts of prosecutors to support it. Especially in today’s complex social structure, prosecutors must take the lead to solidify the roots of the rule of law. Playing their role properly will be the first step towards achieving social justice and equality.
When I was preparing for the personnel hearings for the Prosecutor General, I asked many people for their opinions on how I could balance the defense of “human rights and justice,” and they all said the same thing: “Be the right kind of prosecutor who truly serves the people while remaining politically neutral.
Their words deeply reminded me of the provision of the Code of Ethics for Prosecutors that states, “Since the power of a prosecutor’s office is entrusted to him or her by the people, he or she must serve the people in a humble manner.” Therefore, I have decided to set the policy of the Prosecutor General’s service as “Korean prosecutors for the people,” and I will work with you to achieve this goal.
As early as the late Dr. Dasan Jeong Weak-yong once said, “The people are in Mokmin-kwan for the sake of the people, not the people for the sake of Mokmin-kwan,” emphasizing that service to the people is the most important responsibility of public servants. This teaching is a fundamental principle and philosophy that we must never forget as public servants, especially as prosecutors.
Changes needed for the future of prosecution
We must not rest on our laurels and settle for existing practices or institutions. We must become ‘Korean prosecutors’ who truly serve the people. ‘Korea’ is an honorable and proud brand that has been recognized for excellence around the world. To be a proud Korean prosecutor, each and every member of the prosecution family must work tirelessly with a firm determination to become a prosecutor who serves the people.
To this end, I would like to make four requests to you.
First, the political neutrality and investigative independence of the prosecutor’s office must be realized. This is not a matter of self-interest for the prosecutor, but solely for the people. In order to achieve the political neutrality of the prosecutor’s office, which is the desire of our people and all members of the prosecutor’s office, we must handle cases impartially and in accordance with the law and principles, without being swayed by any external claims or influences.
Second, it is time to put into practice the advanced criminal justice and investigative systems of respect for human rights that we have studied so far. Respect for human rights cannot be achieved through slogans or slogans alone, but only through firm conviction and practical action in protecting people’s fundamental rights.
Third, we must become a just prosecution through fair and impartial law enforcement. Our people want laws that are strict for the strong and warm for the weak. In a world where truth is distorted by power and money, prosecutors can never be “prosecutors for the people” if they remain silent.
The challenge for prosecutors to innovate
Finally, we must not be afraid of change and innovation. Prosecution organizations must constantly evolve to meet the needs of a new era. The way we think and work today will not lead the prosecution of tomorrow. If we do not change and innovate now, we will miss the opportunity to build the best prosecution system for the 21st century.
Dear prosecutorial family, I will begin each day with hope, as if it were my first day as Attorney General, and end each day with no regrets, as if it were my last. Let’s move forward into the future together.
Thank you.

Prosecutor General’s Inauguration: Commitment to Justice and Reform

My dear family of prosecutors, the prosecutor’s office is rocked by turbulence in a sea of angry public sentiment. I stand here with the urgency of the captain of a ship(艦船) in those waters, feeling the weight and responsibility of this position, and I promise that from this moment on, I will sail with you, not just as the head of the prosecution organization, but as a colleague of the entire prosecution family, and as a member of the trusted judicial institution that upholds the law and justice of the people. I think back to the moment 400 years ago when Chungmugong returned to the battlefield after the end of the Hundred Kingdoms Army. At this moment, I dare to put myself in his shoes, and I feel a heavy sense of responsibility and an immense sense of mission.
Since last year, we have been drifting in the face of waves of public outrage and criticism due to scandals and scandals, large and small, and controversies over political neutrality. In the midst of this crisis, we are faced with the enormous task of regaining the public’s trust. The prosecutor’s office, once a symbol of honor and pride, has been greatly diminished and its hard-earned reputation has been rapidly eroded. The task ahead of us is by no means easy, but we must once again rally around the belief that we can overcome this challenge.
Fortunately, the past few months have brought some stability, thanks to the dedicated efforts of former Acting Prosecutor General ○○○, but normal sailing is far from assured. The current crisis is not the result of the mishandling of a few cases or the aberrations of a few members alone; it is the result of the combined and cumulative effects of our faulty practices, rituals and organizational culture. We need to take decisive action to put it right.
Dear prosecutorial family, the only way to overcome this crisis is through a fundamental transformation based on a thorough and sobering self-reflection on the past and present state of the prosecutor’s office. I emphasize self-reflection and innovation at the outset because I am honored to be sworn in as Prosecutor General, and I want you to share my determination that the era of corruption must come to an end. We must all take this opportunity to pledge to become trusted prosecutors once again.
The public’s expectations of us have grown cold, but we cannot and must not be discouraged. If we fail the people, we will be forced to face the fundamental question of what we exist for, because we have work to do without delay to regain their faith. The people always want justice, and we must prove that we are the ones who can deliver it.
The fastest way to regain people’s trust is to do what we are supposed to do: be a trusted guardian of law and order, the backbone of abstract affairs, and a strong bulwark of human rights, ensuring the peaceful and safe lives of our neighbors and communities.
Fighting Corruption and the Need for Special Investigations Above all, as the corruption index of Korean society remains high and state transparency falls far short of developed countries, there is an urgent need for a strong fight against corruption. There should be no sanctuaries and no hesitation in cracking down on the rampant corruption and irregularities in our society. Corruption weakens the roots of a nation and erodes public trust. We must stand up to it.
To do so, we need to reorganize the special investigation system in a way that is supported by the public, but carefully mapped out to ensure that there are no gaps in corruption investigations. Going forward, special investigations must be selective and focused to improve their effectiveness and avoid criticisms of “over-investigation” or “throwaway” investigations.
We need to focus our investigative efforts on areas that only prosecutors can do, such as power-type corruption, corporate crimes that distort market order and capital market disruption, and technology theft crimes that infringe on national competitiveness. All of these are the reason for the existence of prosecutors and the justice we must realize.
The importance of protecting human rights In ordinary criminal cases that touch people’s lives, we must strive for swift redress and final resolution of disputes, and severely punish violent crimes, including sexual violence, to eradicate the temptation for criminals to reoffend. However, while the efficiency and effectiveness of our investigations are important, we must never neglect the protection of human rights. The public expects us to be absolutely fair and to uphold human dignity.
We must clearly recognize that the reckless publication of a victim’s death is a serious crime that can lead to “character assassination” by public opinion, and we must thoroughly prevent it. Prosecutors’ investigations must be based on the trust of the public, and this must be evident in the process of protecting human rights.
To fulfill these roles, prosecutors must transform their organization and culture. This is why prosecutorial reform is necessary, and this is what the people want from their prosecutors. Without these changes, we will not be able to regain the trust of the people, and our raison d’être will be shaken.
The determination to create the prosecution the people want Transforming the prosecution is not just about institutional reform. It must involve a fundamental cultural transformation and a change in the direction that the people want. My promise to create a prosecutor’s office that the people want cannot be fulfilled without your dedication and hard work. There is a saying that the harder things get, the more you have to go back to basics. It means that the answers to our problems always lie in our principles and basics, and we cannot find them by abandoning them.
My dear family of prosecutors, a wise traveler is not lost in a starless desert, and courageous sailors are not scattered in a storm. If we pool our wisdom and work together, we can overcome any crisis, and we can overcome any trial.
Now, let’s return to Chungmugong’s words. On the eve of the Battle of Myeongnyang, the first battle after the Hundred Kingdoms, he said to his generals, “One man guarding the way can frighten a thousand men.” Let us take these words to heart and resolve to stand up as prosecutors who protect justice in Korea. Thank you.

Prosecutor General’s Inauguration Ceremony: Promise of Justice and Leap Forward

Dear prosecution family!
We are now standing on the threshold of a new era. It is a time to move beyond the negativity and frustration of the past to positivity and hope, and from stagnation to prosperity. The Republic of Korea is now one of the world’s leading economic powers and a cultural exporter represented by the Korean Wave.
In every aspect of politics, economy, society, and culture, we are surpassing North Korea and establishing ourselves as the center of Asia. The excellence of the Korean people and our liberal democratic system is spreading beyond our borders to the rest of the world, and all of us are doing our best to lay the foundation for prosperity and reunification.
We, the prosecutors, cannot be an exception to this change, and we too must play a leading role in safeguarding the glory of our country and paving the way for prosperity and reunification. By upholding the values of truth and justice, prosecutors will have to fulfill their national mission as guardians of the system.
Our goal is to clean up society, brighten the world, and create a blue Korea where justice flows like a river. To realize the ideal society where the rule of law is entrenched, we must fulfill the prosecutor’s mission entrusted to us by the people no matter what difficulties we face.
Dear colleagues, as I take office as Prosecutor General today, I would like to declare three wars: the first is the war against corruption, the second is the war against ○○, and the last is the war against the enemy within us.
First, we must fight corruption, which is deeply embedded in our society. We must eradicate entrenched corruption and nepotism in all sectors of politics, economy, and society. Without removing the soil of corruption and eliminating its hotbeds, we cannot move forward as a truly developed country.
Korea ranks ○ in the corruption index among OECD countries. This is a figure we can never be proud of, and it is a source of shame for both the people and the assessing authorities. It is the responsibility of all of us to realize that even after 60 years of prosecution history, we still have the image of a corrupt country. We must realize that responsibility and fight corruption with an unrelenting determination. The time has come to mobilize the full power of the prosecution to break the chain of corruption, rescue Korea from corruption, and make it a truly advanced powerhouse.
Second, we must root out the ○○. The superiority of liberal democracy has been proven long ago, but it is a national misfortune if there are still followers who cannot let go of the illusion of North Korea. It is a dereliction of duty for prosecutors to ignore forces that praise and benefit North Korea.
Prosecutors must punish and eliminate these forces, and that is the only way to lay the foundation for reunification. We must strengthen public security capabilities, build a thorough and resolute investigation system, and never back down from the fight against ○○.
Finally, we must also fight our internal enemies, the greatest of which is arrogance. Arrogance is just an expression of incompetence and fear. Competent people are never arrogant, and those who know the truth have no need to be arrogant.
It is arrogance to think that prosecutors can solve all problems. It is even greater arrogance to claim prosecutorial infallibility, or to know something is wrong and not correct it. Humility before the people is the only way we can be loved by the people.
Another enemy is irresponsibility. It is irresponsible to allow information to be leaked to the media during an investigation, distorting the truth and creating innocent victims. It’s equally irresponsible not to listen to the people or to treat them with formality.
We cannot earn the public’s trust by being irresponsible. We must be sincere in everything we do, and we can only earn the public’s trust and support by being accountable.
We must build a clean prosecutorial culture. We need to uphold the principle of zero tolerance for cronyism and eliminate cronyism through strong oversight. We need to increase organizational transparency and clean up our organization to make it stronger. The integrity of each of you will be the key to determining the future of the prosecutor’s office.
My dear prosecutorial family!
Crisis is opportunity, and the deeper the valley, the higher the mountain. The Prosecutor’s Office is an organization with unlimited possibilities. I believe in your capabilities and will.
Let us all put ourselves down, serve our country and our organization. From me, I will do my best to build a just and glorious prosecutor’s office. I look forward to your participation in our journey to become a world-class prosecutor’s office loved by the people.
Thank you.

Prosecutor General’s Inauguration Ceremony: A New Beginning with the People

I would like to begin by thanking all of you who have stood by the prosecution without wavering despite the unprecedented leadership vacuum. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all prosecutors and staff for their dedication and hard work in fulfilling their roles even under difficult circumstances.
It is with great emotion that I stand here today, having left the Prosecutor’s Office after serving as a prosecutor for ○ years. It was a short period of about a month, but it was a meaningful time for me to reflect on myself and look at the prosecution as a citizen, not as a prosecutor. Seeing the prosecutor’s office from the outside made me realize the urgency of our efforts to reach out to the people and serve them. I believe that the months following the sudden resignation of my predecessor as prosecutor general have also been an opportunity for the prosecutor’s office to reflect on itself and ponder how to move forward.
Korea has made remarkable progress in the world, but there is still a thick cloud of conflict and antagonism. I think it is time for us to trust each other and unite as one, where individuality and ideas are respected, and we must become ‘one’ through reconciliation, and our prosecutors must become one.
I am proud to say that we have been working hard and with all our might for the past ○ years, but the people’s gaze toward us has not always been warm. We cannot deny that there have been moments when we have disappointed them, contrary to their expectations. At this point, we must move forward to become a better prosecutor, a prosecutor who is more trusted by the people. To do so, we must go beyond the role of simply enforcing the law, and become a prosecutor who listens to the voices of the people and breathes with them. In the future, our prosecutors must be loved and supported by the people. We are at a turning point.
It’s time for the prosecutor’s office to be transformed, to be refreshed and elevated. Let prosecutors be prosecutors and prosecutors be prosecutors. We need to change the paradigm of investigations, and we need to make sure that it’s just and sophisticated, that it’s gentlemanly, that it’s fair, and that it values honor and consideration. It must uncover the truth, but it must constantly reflect to ensure that it does not violate human rights or abuse excessive power in the process.
We must also remain focused on the mission of the prosecution. Our mandate is to be the ‘national response to crime’. Through law enforcement, we must restore order in our society. Let’s establish law and order by responding strictly and forcefully to crime. Our opponent is the crime itself, not the status of the perpetrator, whether they are high or low, powerful or powerless. Corruption in public office and social irregularities are blights on our society that must be eradicated. There should be zero tolerance for corruption and misconduct.
However, strict law enforcement does not necessarily mean that it should be cold; it should have a warm heart that is willing to show leniency for minor offenses that ordinary people inevitably commit as they go about their daily lives. Let’s make it our mission to make sure that the law is not just a means of punishment, but a device to protect people and make society safe. We must not forget the warm side of law enforcement, so that people do not fear the law, but are protected by it.
And it’s time to break free from our inertia and boldly abandon the unnecessary. We must gather all the strength of the prosecution to fight crime and protect the innocent people.
The prosecutorial culture that we have taken for granted must change. The world is changing. We need to change too. We will need to communicate with each other within the prosecutor’s office and with the public outside of the prosecutor’s office. We will need to do away with the false culture of being divided into prosecutors and staff, gathering in silos and delays. Communication and oneness is the new prosecutorial culture we will create. When we respect and trust each other from within the prosecution organization, we can build trust with the public.
Let’s change our mindset to become the advanced, first-class prosecutors we want to be. We must be strict and dignified in the face of crime, but humble in front of the people. I believe that when we have the mindset and attitude of working with a “strict but warm heart,” “dignified but serving heart,” and “resolute but open heart,” we will become prosecutors who make the people feel comfortable.
I believe in you. Our efforts will be the cornerstone of building an advanced, first-class prosecutor’s office. Having been entrusted with the enormous responsibility of prosecutor general, I now have nothing but dedication to the country, responsibility to the people, and love for the prosecution.
I hope that when I leave the prosecutor’s office in ○ years, I will leave behind a great prosecutor general. When the winds blow and the waves crash, I will not be shaken; I will remain steadfast and firm, and I will uphold the mission and role of the prosecutor’s office.
I ask all of you to now return to your respective positions and be a beacon in your communities. Through the work you do, continue to shine a bright light that illuminates the darkness and provides direction. Let us never forget that the mission of the prosecutor’s office is to protect the people, and let us walk that path together.
I thank you for welcoming me back today, and I wish all of our prosecutorial family the best of health and happiness.
Thank you.

Prosecutor General’s Inauguration: A Pledge of Fairness and Innovation

Dear prosecutors across the country!
I would like to extend my deepest respect and gratitude to all of you for your dedication to the nation and its people under difficult conditions. I would also like to express my deepest respect to my predecessor, Prosecutor General ○○○, who worked long and hard to create the “Korean Prosecutor’s Office for the People. The passion and sense of responsibility shown by each and every one of you laid the foundation of the Korean public prosecutor’s office today. We must build on that history and tradition to open a new era.
I am deeply grateful to the many people who have led me to this point and to those who have placed their trust in me, and it is with a heavy sense of responsibility rather than honor that I assume this important position today. With the upcoming presidential election, the role of the prosecutor has never been more important. But as I stand here and look into your determined eyes, I am confident that we can overcome any difficulties and challenges together. From this day forward, I will once again build brick by brick with you, just as I did when I was sweating here as the head of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office ○○ years ago.
While the prosecution has made great contributions to the establishment of national law and order, the fight against corruption, and the protection of people’s human rights and crime victims, we must all recognize that there are still areas where we have fallen short of the public’s expectations. Doubts about the political neutrality of the prosecutor’s office, voices of criticism that it is weak where the strong are weak and strong where the weak are strong – these criticisms clearly show where we need to improve. We must respond to this challenge, and we must be proactive in making changes to restore the trust of prosecutors and build a fairer society.
Today, as we begin anew, we must all recommit ourselves to exercising our prosecutorial power in and with the people. To that end, I would like to take this opportunity to make a few pleas to you.
First, the political neutrality of prosecutors and the independence of prosecutors must be upheld.
The political neutrality of prosecutors and the independence of their investigations are values that cannot be compromised in order to gain the public’s trust in the prosecution. The moment we exercise our prosecutorial powers in accordance with the law and principles, only then will the people trust us and recognize our impartiality. This path may be difficult, and at times tempting and pressured, but it is not insurmountable with a strong will and a clear sense of mission.
It is our mandate from the people to defend our independence from outside, unwarranted pressures that sway the prosecution. The prosecution must exist solely for the people, unshaken by any external winds, and this presidential election is a crucial test for the prosecution to prove its impartiality and independence to the people and history. We will fairly and promptly handle the issues that are in the public eye and make judgments based solely on the truth.
Second, I ask you to do your best to fulfill your primary mission of establishing national legal order and combating corruption.
Firmly upholding the liberal democratic rule of law is one of the most important tasks of prosecutors. We must ensure that the rule of law is enforced so that all citizens are safe from crime and can live freely under the protection of the rule of law. At the same time, we must be even more vigilant in ensuring that lawlessness and violence are never allowed to infringe on the rights and freedoms of legitimate citizens.
Corruption is a poison that shakes the very foundations of society, and we must all act as light and salt in the fight against it. There can be no sanctuaries in the fight against corruption, even within the prosecutor’s office, and we will have to be tough on ourselves if necessary.
Third, I ask you to maintain a sense of restraint and dignity in the exercise of your prosecutorial powers, and to put human rights first.
The prosecutor’s office is for the people, and we must be careful to ensure that their human rights are not violated in the process. The process must be transparent and fair, not just the outcome. The last thing we need is for people to feel fearful or distrustful of the prosecutor’s office due to excessive investigations or the exercise of prosecutorial powers that are out of proportion.
Taking this a step further, we must maximize the power of prosecutors through advanced forensic investigations and avoid unnecessary controversy and accusations, especially when it comes to protecting human rights.
Fourth, we must be open-minded and boldly pursue change and innovation.
We need to transform the prosecutor’s office to meet the needs of the rapidly changing times. A new criminal justice system that meets people’s expectations will be fully implemented from next year, and we must do everything possible to ensure that it works on the ground and makes a positive difference in people’s daily lives. Furthermore, we need to restructure the prosecutor’s office to increase its efficiency. We must shed unnecessary tasks and focus our core competencies on serving the needs of the people.
Fifth, we must earn the trust of the people by being humble and cultivating virtue.
We must not forget the virtue of humility, which means that the higher we are, the lower we are. Just as water flows downward to form the ocean, we can only gain the trust of the people if we are humble and sincere in our approach to them.
