A cartoon about aspiration, achievement and happiness. A “Chinese proverb” about the moon

by

Aspirational cartoon. Aim for the moon

A cartoon about aspiration, achievement and happiness.
Proverbs about the moon.

This aspirational cartoon is titled “A Chinese Proverb” although I actually thought it up myself.
The saying is: “Aim at the moon and you will harpoon a fish. Aim at a fish and you will harpoon a fish. So you may as well aim at the moon.”

The cartoon is suggesting that it might be a good idea to set your sights on something higher than you expect to achieve in order to achieve the lesser goal. The important thing is not to be disappointed when you don’t achieve that higher goal.
A cartoon about aspiration, drive, ambition, foresight, optimism.

Rene Magritte cartoon parody

by

Rene Magritte parody of the Son of Man

Magritte pastiche
Rene Magritte cartoon parody of The Son of Man (French: Le fils de l’homme)
The image shows a banker with a coin in front of his face based on the Magritte image of a man with an apple in front of his face

The idea behind this image is that bankers (and others in the finance industry) see only money and profit. This is implied by the coin that is floating in front of the face of the banker, blocking his perception of anything else but money

A comment on finance, capitalism, priorities

The £ sign on the coin can be changed to any other currency
