78. Win a fantasy league of 10 people or more
Bow down. I conquered a group of 11 friends, then grinded a 50-strong group of Fantasy Football aficionados into pulp. I’m a recent Fantasy convert. As a student in Melbourne, someone asked me to join a Yahoo! UK Premier League Fantasy Football league. In a 6-friend league, I came up on top. But I wanted more. I wanted glory in true competition. I almost nearly achieved No.78 last year...

Soundtrack for May
Soundtrack for May What a packed AprilMay. Thankfully, I’m intact. Barely. I made my stage debut last month. The journey was tiring, and boy, I still remember the fear. The memories of that first night - standing behind a black curtain, my heart bursting, closing my eyes in fervent prayer I wouldn’t trip and fall - are so fresh. I felt like escaping. Hiding. Unseen, never...

“I know starting your careers in troubled times is a challenge. But it is also a privilege. Because it is moments like these that force us to try harder, to dig deeper, to discover gifts we never knew we had - to find the greatness that lies within each of us.

“Bear Stearns didn’t fail because the employees were incompetent, because they weren’t good at what they do. They failed because they were good at what they do. They were so successful for so long that they grew overconfident and arrogant and complacent. The biggest obstacle to success is success.”

"You know, in high school, I had the biggest crush...
It came out. After 12 years. And yeah, I was nervous. She was sitting opposite me. A simple blue dress. That English accent. A smile that melted all that was hard within. We had just spent the last 2 hours talking about Wall-E, fancy restaurants, Hong Kong, the economy and our high school years. That last one was key. She was, after all, my high-school crush. From the moment I saw her in Form...

Stephen Fry's letter to his 16-year-old self →
“Oh, lord love you, Stephen. How I admire your arrogance and rage and misery. How pure and righteous they are and how passionately storm-drenched was your adolescence. How filled with true feeling, fury, despair, joy, anxiety, shame, pride and above all, supremely above all, how overpowered it was by love. My eyes fill with tears just to think of you. Of me.”
