RANDOM:
I ran a marathon on my birthday on a whim without prior training.
I helped to capture animal poachers in the bush of Zimbabwe.
I once sent 39 emails to a prominent entrepreneur I wanted to talk to (I told him in the first email that I would send them daily) before he finally responded.
There is nothing in the world I hate more than losing.
