在這之前，琳並不去特別注意瓷器，只知道家裡用的康寧餐具很耐，以及百貨公司的瓷器專櫃很高『貴』。
演講中，王先生分析創立『八方心氣』所遭遇到的困難，包括品牌、通路、產品、團隊，相較於外國百年品牌，每一項都像是銅牆鐵壁，擋在前方。
本著『與其最好，不如唯一』的精神，王先生突破重重障礙，創作出一件件富有中華文化、生活情趣的日常用品。看著投影片上令人賞心悅目的瓷器，才發現，原來瓷器可以與人互動，生活可以這麼豐富，它就藏在每日微不足道的細節當中，這就是大師之所以為大師的心思啊！
可能是談論到仿品的問題吧！王先生提到一句『只有外象，沒有內涵』，這八個字，讓琳很認真的把它寫下來，並細細琢磨、省思。
最後，王先生採用Robert Frost的詩句，為演講作個總論：
『I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.』
今年四月，『八方新氣』會進駐新竹SOGO，到時候，就算買不起，也一定要去參觀。
Road Not Taken
一條未走的路
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
黃葉林中有路雙岔，
可惜我不能兩條都走，
我這位旅者，佇立良久，
極目遠望，
有條彎路沒入草叢。
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
而我選擇他路，同樣秀麗，
或許它更加值得，
因為路上雜草叢生，正待君來踩踏；
即便此地往來行旅，
已把雙徑蹂躪得難分上下。
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
而當日早晨，同樣落葉覆蓋的兩條路，
未遭足跡污染踐踏。
啊，我留下第一條改天再走！
卻覺路走過一條接一條，
遲疑是否該走回頭。
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
他日他地，歲歲年年之後，
這段往事我將邊嘆息邊說：
林中有路雙岔；而我——
選了乏人行走的一條，
從此一切都大不相同。
