Travel Log: Hong Kong part 2

ByMaurilio Amorim January 22, 2010

These are a few more pictures I took with my trusty iPhone. They are a bit random, but, again, so am I.

Beautiful Repulse Bay. Who calls a place this nice “Repulse”?

They call it the Chinese Riviera deservedly so.

So the beach is immaculately clean. That’s because according to the sign above, you cannot do anything but look at it.

Beautiful view atop Victoria’s Peak. Yep, iPhone.

Juxtaposition of old and new worlds.

Note the leopard print detail. . .

and to finish the ensemble: matching breathing mask. Love the fashion forward of Hong Kong

Travel Log: Hong Kong part 1

After a 16-hour flight from Newark I landed in Hong Kong where my body is still trying to deal with a 14-hour time zone difference. It’s been wreaking havoc with my sleep cycle but it has been worth it. My first two days were mostly spent with the friendly TWR.org staff here in Hong Kong….

Are We Affirming Children Into Failure?
ByMaurilio Amorim February 25, 2010

This is brilliant. To me this video is a commentary on a generation of pseudo-talent that has, against all common sense, been affirmed into failure by well-meaning parents. If these guys are for real, then, well, bless their hearts! http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9625670&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=1&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1 Can we go too far in affirming our children into an unhealthy, unrealistic place?

The New Yorker Features Faith Church and The Work of The A Group
ByMaurilio Amorim November 29, 2007

I’m often cautious when local media wants to feature one of our church clients because I never know the journalist’s intent and often hidden agenda. Needless to say, I was very concerned when I got a call early this summer from a writer for The New Yorker who was doing a feature story on Faith…

Expose Yourself Out of Business
ByMaurilio Amorim November 15, 2012

“We priced it low because we wanted the exposure.” Every young, and even some seasoned entrepreneur can fall on the trap of the “exposure” temptation. In the search for legitimacy and clout, entrepreneurs want to have the recognizable “big fish” names in our portfolios. After all, that means great PR and lots of new clients,…

ByMaurilio Amorim June 14, 2010

Singapore is a long way from my home in Tennessee. A very long way. After traveling more than 26 hours, I finally got here. Here’s some random thoughts and pictures.
