My time at Shell was a most valuable experience because it taught

My time at Shell was a most valuable experience because it taught me to look at the world in a long-term way. Shell takes a 20-year view on events and plans for different scenarios. It makes you see the world as a kind of large matrix. – Vince Cable

I dont often eat in them, though, as Im usually on the run. – Vince Cable
