The father’s job is to teach his children how to be warriors, to give them the confidence to get on the horse to ride into battle when it’s necessary to do so. If you don’t get that from your father, you have to teach yourself.
Such a beautiful quote from Wild by Cheryl Strayed
I think this is an incredible reminder for leaders and anyone who nurtures talent within a company as well.
I love this video series from Yili. It features the extraordinary stories of ordinary people, leading up to the Olympics. This video features husband and wife backpackers in their 60’s who have traveled to more than 46 countries together since the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and have been sharing their experiences on Sina.
Here’s a bit from the video: “For us, the biggest reward from traveling is love. Even if the path isn’t always smooth, there will always be a road that leads us forward with loved ones.This world is so beautiful!” http://t.cn/zOpOxZN

Today was a really good day.
If you want to build a ship, don’t herd people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
My interview with filmmaker Charles Lanceplaine for Paper Magazine is up.
Here’s a bit from our interview:
What’s the best thing about being a filmmaker in China at the moment?
In Shanghai I would say there are two scenes: the people who are at all events and pretending to be cool (those are mostly foreigners) and the others, the people who are actually not at every party and who are actually pushing the scene. There are so many of them: Nini & Gregor at Idlebeats; Chacha, the singer of AM 444; Benoit Florencon, a French photographer who has been extensively documenting the music scene; Ka Xiaoxi. a local photographer, Keflione and Dezio, who are both really good street artists, to name a few.
Shanghai is really a place where with very little means you can make things happen. There is a very do-it-yourself culture out here. There are no real barriers if you really want to do something.
Of course there always some touchy subjects you must avoid (if you do not want to get shut down) but as long as you don’t cross certain boundaries, it’s pretty safe.
“Icelandic contemporary composer Ólafur Arnalds created and released a new song, one per day for a whole week during the month of October 2011. The songs were recorded and filmed live in the living room of his Reykjavik apartment.”
