Dinner last week was with two crazy Italians, Giuseppe Caiazza and Domenico Siniscalco. Giuseppe cut his teeth at Club Med, Ford and Toyota and is now going to Milan to run Saatchi & Saatchi. Domenico is an incredible guy who has had three careers. A leading academic at Cambridge, the Minister of Finance for Italy for five years, and now a banker with Morgan Stanley. The three of us are in different decades in age terms and I had just read a great article from Tony Parsons talking about the various decades of man. Discussion ranged over 2001 Chateau Haut Brion and we concluded that Tony was pretty much on the button. What do you think?
At ten years old he wants to be tough.
At twenty he wants to be cool.
At 30 he wants to be free.
At 40 he wants to belong.
At 50 he wants to be fit.
At 60 he wants to be rich.
At 70 he wants to be healthy.
At 80 he wants to be alive.
