About the Author

The author, Dr. David Sohn refers to the Bible about how he was able to set and fulfil his lifetime vision and 10 milestones. At the age of 30, the author recognized God’s plan for him as a result of his earnest and fervent prayers. Dr. Sohn converted God’s plan for him to his own lifetime vision and achieved his vision through 10 milestones. Born into a poor farm family in South Korea, the author was interested in becoming a medical doctor. However, he could not afford to go to a medical school. He chose to attend the Korea Military Academy (KMA), mainly due to economic reasons. After graduating from KMA, he worked as a communications officer, and received a full scholarship to study at the U.S. Army School for one year from 1965. While studying in America, he witnessed many Americans who dreamed of and successfully achieved the American Dream. He returned to Korea in 1967. However, while working hard in the Korea Army Signal School, he suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis. As a result, he was forced to be discharged from the Korea Army in 1967, abandoning his previous dream to succeed in the military career. The author, who had been thrust out into a new civilian life at the age of 30, chose to forego his new professional life in the journalist profession. During the 1960’s, the Korean society was exposed to the mountains of corruption and injustice. Mainly because the author could not accept constant briberies illegally offered not only from the civilian organizations but also from the government agencies, he finally had to quit his journalist profession in May 1968. The author was confused and discouraged about a series of his unhappy life and failures for the past 30 years. After a series of sincere prayers, the author discovered and concluded that God’s plan for him was “to devote and dedicate his life to transforming not only the Korean society but also the world by providing the most innovative, effective and affordable education to the people around the world, especially to the people underprivileged financially, physically and/or socially.”
