Cultural hermit

Use to have too many "friends" just call and have coffee and talk about nothing, suddenly realized I don't have that much precious time to kill anymore. Every time when feeling standing in a xing or cornered, I go to my own temple, visiting a hermit mentor of mine, who hides inside, well right inside ritan park, very private person disguised as a publisher.

talking with S, the master of cultural comparison studies, almost like attending a lecture so you dont willingly do it too often. as one of those rare few in Beijing who value sanity and purity of the soul more than success, (perhaps thanks to his earlier success and later relative downfall) the very fact of he lives the way he lives now and it works out fine makes me happy and hopeful.

So of course I found out over the lunch why Italian coffee cant win starbucks in China, why doing less is doing more, if china- chain-reaction affecting the world is going to continue....but mostly we talked about physicis and public relation. "the purer certain material is, the stronger it become". Diamond is not meant to be decoration, also powerful cutting tool. so when so many people are playing you as a card in their networking conspiracies, as long as you stay clear of fleeting elusive and false attempt of scooping a quick share of wins, you see the intention and outcome much more clearly, saving you from the roller coaster ride right from the beginning, so it is only natural to concentrate on your own course all along.

Buddhist karma, Christian predestination, or business evaluation verse S's physics theory.

the question is not what you want to do, but why you do it. Answer that first, the tight knot turns tightknit.
