I know that in areas where I have had to work really, really hard to do well, it is aggravating to me to see someone with so much talent just jack off. That said, one of my closest friends in Helsinki is a brilliant girl (fluent in 7 languages) who chooses to be a lowly secretary in London. She simply wants to go out to clubs and have fun. Between you and me, she could be running the institute, but she has no desire.

I still adore her. :)
