"The more you look at the world, the more you recognise how people value things differently." ~HSBC ad

I absolutely loved this HSBC advertisement that littered the London Heathrow airport. One ad had this same quote and then 2 pictures of the same piece of artwork, but one was labeled "ART" and the other one "RUBBISH".

Another ad featured this same quote about valuing things differently and had 3 different pictures of people each with the word "ACCOMPLISHMENT" as the title; someone winning a gold metal, another of someone graduating, and the third was a picture of someone moving the lawn.

So what should be considered "art"? And what is the definition of an 'accomplishment'?

I was reminded once again that this depends on a person's perspective and where they are coming from. The idea of embracing differences in cultures is something that I know and believe, but it was good to re-learn it before I began my trip. It definitely set the tone for my time in Africa.
