I (naively) thought university training would make you better in following what happens in the world.

Most people are not updated. 50 years ago 1 in 5 children died before age 5, now only 1 in 20!

It seems the public in Europe has not yet learnt that most girls in India today go to school.

The number of children is not growing any longer in the world. We are still debating peak oil, but we have definitely reached peak child.

I have a motto: it's never too late to give up. It's never too late to give up what you are doing, and start doing what you realise you love.

When I have an argument with someone, even with someone I am not very close with, I can't sleep at night thinking about it. It's terrible. But I still manage speak out frankly because I have also been gifted with the ability to read people. I can sense when they start to get irritated with me, and then, I shift.

Good analysis is very useful when you want to convert a political decision into an investment. It can also go the other way and drive policy
