The way your face looks is one of those weird, lottery-type aspects of life — you have no control if it’s good or bad. Similar to the country you’re born in, the name you’re given, and how tall you stand, you have no influence over these.

Some are more, or less, fortunate than others. For instance, I listened to a podcast the other day and nearly spit coffee all over the place when I heard about this guy, Tuur Demeester. Go ahead, say his name.
