Playing Now

Image
Whether it scapes our attention or escapes our attention, we are always playing the "now". Maybe, we heavily host the past or lean to future, hence crowd out the  expansive "being" awareness.

Alibaba-wood to Commerce 4.0

Image
The current Alibaba IPO sparked another round of discussions amongst thinkers on the future of ecommerce.
