水則載舟 水亦覆舟

Samsung's internal memorandum

"History has shown there has yet to be a company
that has won the hearts and minds of consumers
and achieved continuous growth,
when its primary means to competition
has been the outright abuse of patent law,
not the pursuit of innovation."

...and then substitute those words with:
government  citizens  challenges  security  improvement

君者 舟也 庶人者 水也
水則載舟 水亦覆舟

热气球


One cold dawn it shall be..

that I'll dare to leave
fear and unfettered grief
my possessions oh so brief
untether the balloon, please..

..to let space arise under me

go where ye shall, cold breeze
dew on my cheeks, bones rickety
hey moon, that new sun silently east
up, up and away with me.. we are free!
