"Jack and Coke. Simple drink. There's nothing to it." the bartender said.

It must feel bitter for a CEO to be dismissed from his or her job. Given that CEOs get sacked quite often, why do so many people want to climb the corporate ladder and become a CEO or something? :-)

To go and work / study in a better place, be it Canada, the U.S., Harvard U., Princeton U., Stanford U., Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, or Google Inc., doesn't automatically turn a person into a successful one.

Thinking that it would automatically happen is a pious hope, or even a pipe dream.

Sometimes knaves are fools because they think others are fools.

Faye / Fay is an interesting name.
