“One of life’s great pleasures is to be pampered and Cathay Pacific’s new First Class, which is being progressively introduced on the carrier’s long-haul aircraft, offering just the right amount of personal attention, interaction and privacy. First Class suites include a passenger seat providing 4-way lumbar support and massage function plus a guest ottoman for in-suite conversations. When rest summons, the seat converts into an 81-inch-long, fully flat bed.

Cathay Pacific’s new Business Class, which is being progressively rolled out across its long-haul and medium-haul fleets, features new seats that convert into 78-inch-long, fully flat beds at the touch of a button. Inflight entertainment is provided on a 15-inch widescreen TV with audio and video on demand via a noise-canceling headset to enhance your listening experience”. – Flyerwiki

“Personal growth and genuine transformation isn’t about the theoretical, it’s about the practical – and the practical is all about YOU. If you read, understand and remember every single word I ever write, but never apply any of it, you will see absolutely zero benefit or positive change in your world. So apply it. Do it. Consistently. And get uncomfortable. Consistently. There are far too many personal development junkies who are great at talking the talk – they even use all the self-help jargon (I know, I talk to them) – but in reality they are full of crap because they don’t actually live any of it. They tell others what to do, while not actually doing it themselves. The Pseudo Gurus, I call them. Reading does not equal transformation. Reading equals reading. Even knowing doesn’t equal transformation. There is an abundance of educated and knowledgeable failures.” – Graig Harper

In 1983, he published his autobiography entitled “jungle fever” and directed the movie “el flamenco” using the concept “shake me” invented in 1972 by Georges Petit and designed the new visual graphic design for Kodak: “sprites escaping from a slide”. Since 2001, he is art director of Galeries Lafayettes advertising campaign, about which he sayed:”I wanted to go against the general trend, everything one could see at this time”.
