“…I advocate passionate dedication to the pursuit of short-term goals. Be micro-ambitious. Put your head

down and work with pride on whatever is in front of you… you never know where you might end up. Just be

aware that the next worthy pursuit will probably appear in your periphery. … If you focus too far in front of

you, you won’t see the shiny thing out the corner of your eye” -Tim Minchin (from his 9 life lessons speech)
