A story is at its best when it’s not intrusive, when it brings value to a platform’s consumers, and when it fits in as a natural step along the customer’s path to making a purchase.

It’s lonely at the top. Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for ‘realistic’ goals, paradoxically making them the most time and energy-consuming.

To say that there are no secrets left today would mean that we live in a society with no hidden injustices.

This is no war of chieftains or of princes, of dynasties or national ambition; it is a war of peoples and of causes.
