Kelley School: Interesting Times

Nov 24, 2008 17:39



Meaning: We redefine "interesting" every day around these here parts.

And while we're quoting Serenity with its Mandarin expressions, consider the apocryphal "Chinese curse", "May you live in interesting times". The closest attested Mandarin proverb that means remotely the same thing is 寧為太平犬,不做亂世人 (níng wéi tàipíng quǎn, bù zuò luànshì rén, "It is preferable to be a dog in peace than a man in an age of chaos").

This is part of the David E. Kelley School of Advising series.
