“Addiction is the disease of our age. It is cunning and powerful. It proceeds from our chronic spiritual hunger and is nourished by our focus on getting and spending, and on news and gossip outside ourselves. Everything we need is happening within us. The focus on reports of others is only a distraction from the needs of our own spirit. Addiction grows fat from our chronic quashing of the inner life. We believe the spiritual does not exist because we have made insufficient space for it to manifest in our lives. A self-fulfilling tautology.”

Hmm..
"Action springs out of what we fundamentally desire... and the best piece of advice which can be given to would-be persuaders, whether in business, in the home, in the school, in politics, is: first, arouse in the other person an eager want. He who can do this has the world with him. He who cannot walks a lonely way!" - Harry A. Overstreet

The New Landscape
Farther ‡ fragmentation and diversification
Focus is on more pieces with greater variation
Faster ‡ hyperinnovation and computation
Knowledge is advancing at the speed of light
Deeper ‡ complexity and sophistication
Understanding the basics now requires expertise
Flatter ‡ globalization and collaboration
Business regularly spans borders and cultures
Wider ‡ imagination and inspiration
The information age has become the conceptual age
Tighter ‡ combination and integration
Intersectional thinking and mixing is the new norm

Fallen Angels (1995)
Directed by Wong Kar Wai90 min
Fallen Angels follows a professional killer and his partner in crime who he rarely sees. After 3 years of working together he wants out. He embarks on his last hit but first he has to overcome his affections for his cool, detached partner. Thinking it's dangerous and improper to become involved with a colleague he sets out to find a surrogate for his affections. Against the sordid and surreal urban nightscape set in contemporary Hong Kong, he crosses path with a strange drifter looking for her mysterious ex-boyfriend and an amusing mute trying to get the world's attention in his own unconventional ways. The mute (caused by eating expired cans of pineapples for a month when he was 5 years old) breaks into restaurants, cafés and ice-cream trucks at night and forces people to buy his goods!
Comedy and tragedy walking hand in hand into the horizon..
