“Class of 2018. Don’t be afraid to fail. Be terrified. Some of
you haven't got what it takes. Today, you are in cap and gown—tomorrow you will
go cap-in-hand. Failure is only charming in retrospect; temping as a
cardboard-box folder on the UPS production line is only romantic once it is
your TED-talk anecdote. Visualise yourself in five years, dressed as Santa's
elf, serving champagne to your college valedictorian at its law firm's Christmas.
Take it from someone who once worked at a shopping mall in Brockley dressed as
an air hostess.”— Jenny Lee, “Let Me Do the Honours,” The Financial Times, May 19-20, 2018
