Laundry Love
Jun, who studied engineering in South Korea, used to run a gas station after first immigrating to the U.S. with his wife in 1980. “I got robbed about three times. Ah, it was bad,” recalled Jun, during an interview at last month’s Laundry Love event. “I thought to myself that I didn’t want to risk my life like this just to make a living. I thought I should do something safe. Instead of a lot of cash, maybe something to do with coins.”
The laundromat business has been good to him and his family for 20 years, and Jun is grateful.
“Instead of holding onto money, I thought it would be great to let go and give back from time to time,” he said. “As you get together with people by doing this, you learn how to live with people. What’s life? It’s just giving and receiving among people.
“When you’ve eaten much, you’ve got to let it out.”
Read the actual article to see what he does with his small business. I know it’s simple, but I love everything about this so much. I really hope that where ever I go in life, I never lose sight of things that matter, and do what I can to give.
