smartest country in the world的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

美國民主的根本是鼓勵分化，包攬擁戰和反戰，所以其本質是維穩的：

//This country was founded by some of the smartest thinkers the world has ever seen. And they knew one thing: that a truly great country can go to war, and at the same time, act like it doesn't want to. You people who are for the war, you need the protesters. Because they make the country look like it's made of sane, caring individuals. And you people who are anti-war, you need these flag-wavers, because, if our whole country was made up of nothing but soft pussy protesters, we'd get taken down in a second. That's why the founding fathers decided we should have both. It's called 'having your cake and eating it too.'//

香港民主派也有類似的世界仔特性，包攬淺藍和泛黃、和理與勇武、反共又投選港區人大、反小圈子又投選特首、贏功能組別又要全面直選——未試過又點知唔得呢？不分化！不割席！齊上齊落！光復議會！時代戰役！香港人加油！反抗！復仇！

符咒的力量，遠超於所有論據和理節的總和。我永遠不會忘記，2014年佔中時一大群年輕人將「我要真普選」的黃符貼在額頭排隊扮殭屍的畫面——找得對合適的符，你就鎮得住你要趕的絲，可以搖鈴任舞。

乜人都對你無符，你才算是自由的人。寫作是為了解咒。

Moral of the story: Respect woman👍🏾

An American airline plane was about to crash - there were 5 passengers aboard but only 4 parachutes

The 1st passenger-Angelina Jolie said ”I am a great Actress and said to be the most beautiful woman in the world! So Americans don’t want me to die” - So she took the first pack and jumped out of the plane

The 2nd passenger-John McCain said - “I’m a Senator and a decorated war hero of the USA” and he grabbed the second pack and jumped out of the plane

The 3rd passenger-Donald Trump said- “ I am going to be the next President of the USA, I am the smartest man in our country and I will make America great again” and so he grabbed the pack next to him and jumped out

The 4th passenger, Preacher,Billy Graham said to the 5th passenger, a ten year old schoolgirl - “ I have lived a full life and served my God the best I could - I will sacrifice my life and let you take the last parachute”

The little girl said-“ Thats O.K., Mr Graham - there's still a parachute left for you - the smartest man in America & who always bullies ladies ( Trump ) took my schoolbag !"

In many ways, building a global sports media property from scratch is like building a global hotel chain from scratch. First, you have to build all of the buildings in each country. During the investment phase, the focus must be 100% on world-class construction of the best buildings for the long term. A startup global hotel chain would have to invest billions for years before they could start charging guests to stay at peak room rates with maximum capacity utilization. However, once all of these buildings are completed and operating at full service levels across the globe, the monetization opportunities are significant.

The major twist to this analogy is that global sports media properties take far longer to build than real estate projects do, but the rewards and opportunities are far greater. Once construction is complete for a global sports media property, the monetization opportunities at scale are limitless - media rights, apparel, games, gyms, energy drinks, manga, movies, TV shows, merchandise, eSports, brand licensing, and much more. In this era of technology, global sports media properties are essentially tech media businesses; they can achieve global scale with minimal marginal cost. And for a tech media business like ONE Championship, revenues can easily skyrocket 10x or more in a single year. This global scaleability is one of the reasons why some of the world's smartest investors like Sequoia Capital, Temasek, Greenoaks, and other blue chip institutions invested in excess of US$250 million into ONE Championship, and gave it a valuation in the billion dollar range. And it is only the beginning.

Luckily, I spent almost a decade on Wall Street as a global hedge fund manager, buying, selling, and shorting companies all over the world. As a result, I knew what a good business model was, and what a bad business model was even before I started ONE Championship. At scale, global sports media properties rank among the best business models on the planet; they are super asset-light, IP-heavy businesses with huge scaleability, huge margins, huge returns on invested capital, and huge cashflows. The biggest global sports media properties also have massive economic moats; they have significant sustainable competitive advantages because they are platform businesses with a complex ecosystem that is entrenched into the fabric of society, culture, and business. Of course, the catch is that they are incredibly hard to build and that they take a long time to create.

In 7 years, ONE Championship has become the world's fastest growing global sports media property in history in terms of reach, frequency, and engagement metrics across traditional and digital media; these 3 pillars are the most important key success factors for any media property. 3 years ago, ONE Championship had an average of only 700,000 viewers per event. Our latest event, ONE: Kingdom of Heroes, drew 25 million viewers. While I am full of gratitude and appreciation for this extraordinary growth, I also know that it is only the beginning of our journey. Our sacred mission is to unleash real-life superheroes who ignite the world with hope, strength, dreams, and inspiration. I count my blessings every day for this precious opportunity to live the life of my dreams. #gratitude #WeAreONE
