Slow Days·말로만 듣던 마흔

, somehow my taste

Pork over beef
Sweet over sour
Coke over soju

Time over money
Self-likeness over adult-likeness

Youthful spirit over youth
Different over better
Empty space over spare time

Nachos over macho
A hero in turbulent times - not so much; I'd rather be the cherished-wife guy beside a powerhouse woman

Long-distance over short-distance
Midfielder over striker

Advisor over monarch
Internal governance over conquest
Heartfelt devotion over loyalty

Vocation over workplace

Startup over big company
New business over vendor work

Value-add over thin-margin high-volume
Long tail over Pareto's law

, somehow my taste
