SHORT-TERMISM MEETS LONG-TERMISM
In not-too-distant past, short-termism was smiling, while long-termism was weeping. In not-too-distant future, short-termism will be weeping, and long-termism smiling. Moral: nothing under the sun is cost-free.

After a week of handover, I have plenty of everything except time to rest or time to do the things I wanted to do. Fascinating.

AT OUR HANDOVER CEREMONY TODAY
I encouraged incoming Vice Chancellor, Professor Deng, to be a multidisciplinary manager. Borrowing words of Philosopher Isaiah Berlin, I said: “don’t be a hedgehog, be a fox. The hedgehog knows one big thing. The fox knows many small things.”
