Nice work (if you can create it)

Article Abstract:

Student Pages, a services directory with money-off vouchers for students, was initially merely a money-making venture, according to Andrew Needham, who set it up with Jan Levy and some friends at university in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1989. There are now 26 city editions of Student Pages, and the venture has become Student Marketing, a student-specific marketing concern. It was purchased by Hobsons Publishing in Sep 1997. Student business ventures can often be regarded negatively, according to Needham, and he wanted to prove to sceptics that he could make Student Pages a success.

What a nice man - what a very nice man

Article Abstract:

The Design Museum in London, UK, is currently holding a tribute exhibition of the works of designer Paul Smith. He is highly respected, and attracts almost no criticism at all. He comes from a modest background, but has worked very hard and now has an international presence, owning 146 shops in Japan. He has a strong air of self-deprecation, almost as if he cannot believe his own success.
