The breeze was brushing through my limp body when my phone registered a gentle chime. Being roused by many of my fan 席 is workaday and I would usually not be too bothered, but it was the message that was not.
Getting out from my bed, I read the message that instantly froze my heart and my mind became clear-headed in an instant..... for the message portends that the world's stiffest competition could potentially start.
It read, "Yo bro, did you pose for NUS fusion poster?"
Out of courtesy, I replied no, that wasn't me.. maybe it was someone else.....
The unnerving realization that there is actually someone out there who could possess a face that has a proximity to my 名模's prepossessive countenance and mien sank in. As the proverbial Michael Porter from Harvard Business School describes and which many business theories still continue to refer to it, there are five key forces that determine (including threatening) business competitiveness. One of them is product substitutes. Of course Forest Rienhardt, another HBS fella suggests a way to fend off competition from substitutes and that is to making systemic changes that re-characterize market competition.
Though such ideas would take some time, I shudder to think of how my mini-me lookalikes would use my face, or rather his face but ten times cheaper. Of course, I wouldn't mind posing for NUS fusion poster even for free since it's my alma mater after all, and knowing how desperate they can be in looking for fusion faces.
After all, under different lightning.... my countenance can easily morph from pan-Asian, to pan-Pacific, to distintly Oriental...just by changing the angle and lightning intensity.
I must find out who this fella is in the interest of my career.
