I got a text message a 5pm with this message today.Quotable quotes of today:Go Big: Don’t just risk your company, risk the entire world of Finance. Modest incompetence is insufficient — if you merely destroy your own company, you won’t get rescued. You have to threaten to bring down the entire global financial system. The ...

I think my experience with Biology scarred me for life.5 years later, I’m stuck here doing almost the same thing, studying for a module in Bioinorganics, ...
Let me show you more power from our neighbors.A Malaysian friend showed this to me.What the hell’s the MINISTER saying? God. I would raise a ruckus if this happened to one of MY ministers.
