“Don't worry about people stealing your idea. If it's any good, everyone will dismiss it” — @bchesky

Laojun Mountain, also known as Mount Emei, is a sacred site in China with a rich history in Taoism. It is located in the northwest part of Yunnan Province and is part of the Laojun Mountain region, which includes an area of 1,085 square kilometers with elevations ranging from 2,100 to 4,513 meters. The region includes four counties: Yulong, Jianchuan, Lanping, and Weixi. The western part of the region adjoins the Lancang River, while the eastern part is contiguous with the Jinsha River. Laojun Mountain is a biodiversity hotspot and a popular tourist destination due to its cooler temperatures in the summer. The mountain's highest peak is 2,217 meters, and it is one of the main peaks of the Funiu Mountains, a branch range of the Qinling Mountains. The mountain owes its name to the famous philosopher Laozi, the founder of Taoism, who is believed to have resided on the mountain as a hermit. Laojun Mountain is known for its natural landscapes and Taoist culture, with temples that have drawn swells of pilgrims since the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534). The mountain offers various attractions, including the Laojun Mountain Scenic Spot, which is a national natural reserve and geological park. The scenic spot has six sightseeing areas with 179 scenic spots, including a pavilion with a painted golden roof that sits atop one of the peaks of Laojun Mountain.

The latest on Signature Block is about VC branding and positioning. This was a fun one. Here are some landing pages that stood out to us...

“The intellect is a great danger to creativity because you begin to rationalize and make up reasons for things instead of staying with your own basic truth — who you are, what you are, what you want to be. I've had a sign over my typewriter for 25 years now which reads: ‘Don't think.’ You must never think at the typewriter. You must feel. Your intellect is always buried in that feeling anyway. You collect a lot of data. You do a lot of thinking away from your typewriter. But at the typewriter, you should be living. The worst thing you do when you think is lie. You can make up reasons that are not true for the things you did. And what you're trying to do as a creative person is surprise yourself. Find out who you really are and try not to lie. Try to tell the truth all the time. The only way to do this is by being very active and very emotional.” — Ray Bradbury (Credit to @bfcarlson for finding this gem)
