Iā€™m amazed we havenā€™t had a ā€œbut itā€™s the learning / journey that countsā€ post yet!

I think my list would be something as follows:

  • Able to drive a car properly quickly
  • Proper product design skills
  • Sense of smell / taste of Joel Robuchon
  • Ability to completely butcher any animal
  • Able to program in a couple of different programming languages (Ruby, Javascript, Lisp probably)
  • A working knowledge of electronics / electrical engineering

  • Gastronomy (Beyond Michelin)

  • Mind reading (Mr. MWs is convinced he may once have had the opportunity for actual sex)

  • Bell Labs download.

He stood up and theatrically exclaimed and announced himself as the worlds only true polymath. He was completely insane,

Strangely in all my 12 odd years travelling the world recruiting students, I was only ever offered money once - and that was in the office of the Bangladesh Embassy in London
