Hong Kong's social movement in 2019, global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, what lies ahead of us in 2022? Do our little lives count at all? Makes me think of the following lyrics:
Marius, you're no longer a child
I do not doubt you mean it well
But now there is a higher call.
Who cares about your lonely soul?
We strive towards a larger goal
Our little lives don't count at all!
Some of you may have known already that I had left the stationery industry almost 2 years ago. 17 years as a buyer to source from all over the world, it was a privilege! I got to know a lot of the brand owners and great people contributing to the industry's advancement in a growingly digital world. I've learned a lot of the brand value propositions they painstakingly crafted, meaningful projects and initiatives, campaigns to bring not just products but admirable concepts to the world. It was a really sad departure for me; there are things people no longer treasure, evil empires only seeking short term profits, cowards not being able to stand against adversaries, quick and dirty tricks always win over long term efforts to create sustainable values. At one point, I felt like I was the only one fighting, at the darkest corner where there's no hope of light or being the light of something greater. The stage was set, and I either shrank to nothingness or shone to a great death.
I'm a person believing in aesthetics, be it physical or more importantly conceptual, there are universal values just can't be measured by corporation greeds and personal gains. How to make better a world where evil brings profit and virtue none at all? Here we go Miguel de Cervantes' Man of La Mancha:
He ponders the problem
Of how to make better a world
Where evil brings profit and virtue none at all.
He lays down the melancholy burden of sanity
And conceives the strangest project ever imagined...
To become a knight-errant,.....
The strangest project ever imagined! To become a .... marketing manager.
Alright, back to reality. You will learn more about Chef Polar from my Instagram feed, but I'm still a stationery guy, a musical guy and a branding guy. Fighting.
Merry Christmas! Check out our initiative to support those in need for food.
