Bull Market - Companies that can help you make something happen
I actually don’t thinkmuch of Consulting. That’s sort of funny, because when I was leaving business school, all I wanted to do was be a Consultant. After spending many hours studying the little booklet the University Consulting Club (yes, it really existed) had put together, I was sure that I wanted to work at Pittiglio, Rabin, Todd &McGrath. There was no second choice. I was going to be a Consultant and this was the place for me. Well, long story short, they refused to even grantme an interview

Nick Hornby Juliet, Naked
In this novel of aging, love, and regret, Annie lives in a decaying seaside town in England, where her partner of convenience, Duncan, immerses himself in the esoterica of an obscure American singer-songwriter, Tucker Crowe, who quit the business twenty years earlier and hasn’t been heard from since. When Tucker releases a demo version of his most famous album, “Juliet,” Duncan’s and Annie’s divergent reactions (he loves it, she hates it) pull them apart.
Mercury is one of the more difficult objects for amateur astronomers to observe because of its close proximity to the Sun. For the same reason, it is also one of the most fascinating and strange planets. Mercury is not much larger that our Moon, but orbits the Sun at an average distance of only 58 million km, compared to the Earth’s 150 million km. On its sunlit side, Mercury’s surface temperature can exceed 450C while the night side freezes at –180C.

“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.” It’s a story of what it’s like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie’s letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates, family dramas, and new friends.
