I'm always pre-occupied with what it is that I'm doing at the moment.

Firms are a bit concerned about things like oil prices and US growth but actually the change (in firms expectations) is quite small so I think broadly theyre looking for more of the same.

If you're growing up in times of peace and live in a country where there's plenty of food and good healthcare, you grow up without any relationship with death.

If you have distance from the events, then your story can work as an analogy or parable, rather than its literal narrative.

You can only do the best you can in the minute that you're doing it.

As we go through life our relationship with our own mortality and our inevitable demise increases.

We give each other a wide berth even if we have the flu, let alone... So, I think that's part of the stigma that people who have diseases suffer. It's almost infectious... if somebody is closer to death, they're almost a bad omen and I think that's terrible.
