My application letter to howies to attend their DO lectures event. Each ‘cut-out’ word represents the feelings and flavour I get from this great company:

• CHALLENGE
• ETHICAL
• INSPIRATION
• GOOD
• KNOWLEDGE

“What’s New?” is an interesting and broadening eternal question, but one which, if pursued exclusively, results only in an endless parade of trivia and fashion, the silt of tomorrow.
