00:00I only made two or three decisions my whole working life.
00:02One of them was to come to Standard Chartered.
00:04One of them was to go into that derivative business that I talked about earlier, which
00:06was 30 years earlier.
00:08And those are two of the best decisions I took because they were reckless, actually.
00:12It was reckless for me to give up my cozy life in asset management and go work for this
00:15struggling emerging markets trade bank.
00:18But it's worked out really well for me.
00:20And I did it because I thought it would be a great challenge.
00:22And I quite enjoy risk.
