jugular core of business acumen and ethics

The given words:
able breeze scattered gaze plain 
bent  splendor gathering rattle 
harvest skin secular 

Looking at the illusion and to be able to 
breeze through a scattered gaze is plain 
to the eye but difficult  to fathom

Won the Korean currency is bent to gain 
international splendor upon a gathering
of strength befitting the hardy and hard-
working fervor of its people

It is beginning to rattle other growing 
economies through its ability to harness
and harvest the benefits of international 
commerce.They penetrate right through
the skin to lodge in to the secular and
jugular core of business acumen and ethics. 

They got over the stigma of inferior quality 
of products and are now worthy  successors 
to the Japanese who have lately sagged and 
lagged behind in their competitive advantage 
and are instead trailing from the rear

  3. The economy is a dynamic phenomena, and what lags behind may come forth anytime to lead. An interesting read. And I also liked the thought as depicted in the image. :-)

  4. Life is an illusion and dreams are the perfect example of such an illusion but of course we should never lose touch with reality.

  6. those on top will soon find the bottom...the economy has a mind of its own...all it takes is one invention and it will flip...of course oil always dictates as well...and water may soon....

  14. If we really stop to consider all the illusions to which we subscribe, I think we would be destroyed. But they must be acknowledged--one at a time--for us to become really whole. Thought-provoking, Hank.

  17. I found several definitions of won, yuan being one. I like how you took the strength of the word in a completely different direction.

    Nicely done.
