Liar’s Poker

The following phase stays in my mind for a long long time…

“…A chaired professor of the London School of Economics, who took a keen interest in material affairs, stared at me bug-eyed and gurgled when he heard that what I was to be paid. It was twice what he earned. He was in his mid-forties and at the top of his profession. I was twenty-four years old and at the bottom of mine. There was no justice in the world, and thanks goodness for that."

Life is tough, probably more tough than you can ever imagine.
