The Year of the Black Water Dragon
The Dragon sent its nine sons to help the first emperor of Ming Dynasty to conquer China. After completing the mission, nine dragons were preparing their journey to return to heaven. But the emperor wanted them to continue to help the Ming Dynasty. The nine dragons wouldn’t stay and the emperor couldn’t stop them. However, the emperor decided to play a trick on the most powerful dragon, the 6th son. He tricked the sixth dragon son to carry a magic stele with a carved inscription, which could suppress any ghost, spirit or evil creature. The 6th dragon couldn’t move under the magic stele, and all of his other brothers wouldn’t leave without him. However, they wouldn’t work for the emperor anymore. They decided to no longer show their dragon identities and turned themselves into evil creatures. Since then, the nine dragons have stayed in China.
Let ride the dragon with happiness

The Wall Street Journal reports:
The 307 national retailers tracked in the survey expanded to a total of 6,994 city stores this year, from 6,883 in 2010. About one-third of the chains had fewer city locations over the past 12 months, including American Apparel (seven stores in 2011 vs. 20 in 2010), Borders (which closed all nine of its stores), and Blockbuster (10 stores in 2011 vs. 30 in 2010).
Manhattan was the only borough which had a net drop in chain stores, with a loss of at least 10 stores in each of the Upper East Side, Midtown West and Greenwich Village/SoHo areas.
This have been my philosophy for many years “luxury of less”, but the video below explain very well and better than I could.
“Imagine you are editing the story of your life. What parts of the plot are essential? Which settings are necessary? Which characters are indispensable? And what could be left out? What parts of your life feel like filler?
Now stop imagining, because you are editing the story of your life. Every choice you make — the home you live in, the furniture you buy, the knickknacks on the mantle, the relationships you keep, the career you choose, the activities you engage in, the media you consume — shape your story.”

Its the end of the industrial age, where we are told what to do and trained from school system to office work. Are we really all racing to the bottom in the ‘forever recession’? provocative thought and ideal from The marketing guru and author Seth Godin.
