A banker was on the pier of a small coastal village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. His boat was full of beautiful yellow tuna. The banker complimented the fisherman on his catch, asking how long it took to catch.

The fisherman replied "only a short time."

The banker asked why not stay out and catch more.

The fisherman replied, "I've enough fish to feed my family."

The banker then asked what did the fisherman do with the rest of his time, he replied, "I will sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, stroll into the village each evening, sip wine with my friends, play my guitar, I have a full and busy life."

 

 

The banker was not impressed. "I have a Harvard MBA and could help you.
You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat and from those increased proceeds you could buy several boats and soon have a fleet. Instead of selling your fish to a middleman, you could control production, processing and distribution by building your own cannery.

You could leave this small coastal village and move to the city then to New York where you could run your expanding enterprise."

 

The fisherman asked, "How long will this take?"

The banker said, "Ten to 20 years."

"But what then?"

"Next you would announce an IPO and sell your stock to the public, making millions and millions. Then you could retire to a small coastal village where you could sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings, sip wine and play your guitar with your friends," said the banker smiling.

The fisherman looked puzzled, "I don't understand this, you are suggesting that I should go one big loop so as to end up where I am today, happily fishing on the cliff?"

Moral of the story:

Almost everyone is constantly working to achieve happiness. We all work hard, trying to earn more money. What is the point of all this when we are not happy? After all, we are forcing ourselves to work harder just to obtain happiness. Are we all trying to be like the man above, going a full circle to end up being at the same place?

What deeply affects every aspect of a man's experience of the world is his perception that things could be otherwise.

GOD跟奇華合作推出的「八月十五」月餅

大家都知道「住好o的」GOD一直以「本地好玩文化」為藍本，為生活每個細節創作出很多有趣點子，筆者每次行GOD都會發現很多得意家具家品，在「食」的環節中，當然不少得很多新派中國文化的產品，再加上銅鑼灣店內的著名食店「囍宴」，今年GOD竟然再推出非常過癮的食品﹕臀部月餅!

 

今次的月餅 crossover ，是由有七十年歷史的香港中式餅店老字號「奇華餅家」，夥拍十多年來以發揚香港本土文化為己任的「住好o的」GOD，以新穎搞笑方式攜手演繹。由於得到奇華給予大量的創作空間, 這個八月十五系列才能完整地突顯出住好o的的玩味風格。四款不同的月餅均以「PAT PAT」為主題，因為臀部的別號「八月十五」為本地文化的語言，感覺非常親切、地道。四款「八月十五」的命名亦很花心思，用上四種大家都耳熟能詳的「麻雀用語」﹕包括有全股上場的「清一色」、穿上T-Back的「單吊」、雙手拍股的「自摸」及露出半股的「爆棚」，貼切又生鬼。

 

住好o的月餅將於9月初登場，一套四款, 每盒內有一個月餅以密封式包裝, 盒面沒有表明內裡款式, 供隨意抽取, 為顧客帶來無限驚喜，一定會是今次最有趣的另類選擇。

Hold your tears
Put your worries behind
The time must come, to be with me, so you can feel

Show your smile
Put your worries behind
Now take my hand and feel my heart, so you can see

And I wanna feel this way
If I haven’t fall in love
Would you stay with me tonight
So there wanna more goodbyes

Can you ever understand, how you’re always on my heart
Put your arms around my soul till I get to you

Dance now (hold your breath)
Don’t you cry (don't you cry)
Take my hand, hold your breath, the night is young

Dance now (hold your breath)
Show your smile (show your smile)
Take my hand, hold your tears, the love is young

Hold your tears (hold your tears)
Put your worries behind
Take my hand and dance with me, so you can see

Dance now (hold your breath)
Don’t you cry (don't you cry)
Take my hand, hold your breath, the night is young

Dance now (hold your breath)
Show your smile (show your smile)
Take my hand, hold your tears, the love is young

When it’s time for us to part
Don’t cry for me my love
Our time together
Please remember forever

When your dream must come to end
I will be waiting for you
To be with me so you can finally see

Dance now (dance now)
Don’t you cry (don't you cry baby)
Take my hand, hold your breath, the night is young

Dance now (dance now)
Show your smile (let me see your smile baby)
Take my hand, hold you tears, the love is young
