Louis Vuitton: Where will life take you?
Saw this advertisement for Louis Vuitton on TV. Liked it a lot. Life is a journey.
“What is a journey?
A journey is not a trip.
It’s not a vacation.
It’s a process. A discovery.
It’s a process of self-discovery.
A journey brings us face to face with ourselves.
A journey shows us not only the world,
but how we fit in it.
Does the person create the journey,
or does the journey create the person?
The journey is life itself.
Where will life take you?”

Be Lucky Or Good
The man who said “I’d rather be lucky than good” saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It’s scary to think so much is out of one’s control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn’t, and you lose.
The Ultimate Question
“I looked down. Descent was totally unappetizing … Too much labor, too many sleepless nights, and too many dreams had been inverted to bring us this far. We couldn’t come back for another try next weekend. To go down now, even if we could have, would be descending to a future marked by one huge question: what might have been?”
