Only by living in other cultures amid other languages can we fully understand how much we are formed and influenced by the place in which we grew up.

Mathew Hayman on Luck:

I just played the game and got lucky

via Myth Busters: the Mathew Hayman Paris-Roubaix edition by SBS.

We were in Port Augusta overnight on our from Adelaide to Wilpena in the Flinders Ranges. Always try to watch Paris-Roubaix and it was great to see Mathew win on the final lap in velodrome. Saw Stuart O'Grady's win back in 2008 and so glad that I stayed up and watched him play the game and create his own special bit of luck.
