100 Naked Words — Day 46
Open For Business
Reflections, Ripples and Ramblings of a Restless Mind
I’m in awe of intelligence. Because I feel at a loss for words in its presence. Always a little inadequate. It’s like I know the words but not the tune.
Today we were in rooms with some of the best and the brightest that the UK has to offer.
We heard from people with a global reach and were fortunate enough to see some examples of the incredible research that has real world applications and solves real world problems developed by students of one of the most hallowed universities in the world.
By Chinese, French, German, Jamaican, Indian, American students (and professors) as well as Brit Cits.
And those are just the ones I met.
Britain has always kept its doors open because it could attract the best, because of its proud heritage of letting people in (begrudgingly at first, for sure) but then making this their home, assimilating them till whether it’s a Scotsman with a turban, a Bao with a brummie accent, or a POM from Pakistan, they’ll all proudly proclaim themselves as British.
In these insular, populist, nationalistic, tribal times, let’s remember that innovation happens when the greatest minds from around the globe come together.
Let’s make sure the party’s still happening here in the UK, let’s make sure we don’t close the doors.
Because then we may as well shut up shop too.
