Zara and I are back from our honeymoon in Japan. We highly recommend a visit. It's a magically crowded island. There were so many good things about the trip, I can't even begin to list. Well, maybe just 2 things.

One of the sites we saw was a hilltop temple in Kyoto. In itself, this is not out of the ordinary. Anyone who's ever been to Kyoto will tell you there's a temple around every turn. What made this temple stand out was a fountain.

As you can see, this fountain has 3 channels you could drink from. Each of the 3 channels represented one of the following: health, longevity and romance. Pretty cool. But here's the Buddhist twist, you can only drink from 2. Drinking from all 3 would deem one too greedy. To me, this is a trick question. Health, longevity and romance are interconnected. These 3 channels came from the same water source, after all, didn't they? I think if you chose the right 2 spiritually, you'll get the 3rd regardless. So which 2 channels would you drink from? Yeah, me too.

Let's see if this trick applies to advertising as well. But instead of water from a fountain, we can chose from 3 gold pencils. Here are their categories: the glory, the craft, and the relationships. Now pick 2 things. Yeah, I think it applies here too. If you pick the right 2, you'll definitely get a taste of all 3.
