How To Talk about Anything Confidently

Bonjour ma vie

Et vous mes désespoirs.
Me revoici aux fossés
Où naquit ma misère !
Toi mon vieux guignon,
Je te rapporte un peu de cœur
Bonjour, bonjour à tous
Bonjour mes vieux copains ;
Je vous reviens avec ma gueule
De paladin solitaire,
Et je sais que ce soir
Monteront des chants infernaux…
Voici le coin de boue
Où dormait mon front fier,
Aux hurlements des vents,
Par les cris de Décembre ;
Voici ma vie à moi,
Rassemblée en poussière…
Bonjour, toutes mes choses,
J’ai suivi l’oiseau des tropiques
Aux randonnées sublimes
Et me voici sanglant
Avec des meurtrissures
Dans mon cœur en rictus !…
Bonjour mes horizons lourds,
Mes vieilles vaches de chimères :
Ainsi fleurit l’espoir
Et mon jardin pourri !
- Ridicule tortue,
J’ai ouvert le bec
Pour tomber sur des ronces
Bonjour mes poèmes sans raison…

Tonight, hundreds of thousands of snowflakes are floating above a cute village. 

Among these snowflakes there’s one the size of a small pot plant. It’s twirling and spinning like a beautiful ballet dancer. This snowflake’s name is Lola. She has just been joined by her rich green fairy friend named Fairy. 

“Lola, I’m sorry to disturb you right before sleep... But I had to come see you. The wedding date has been moved. We must have it in one week’s time. Do you think the dress will be ready?” 

“One week? Sure thing,” says Lola. “I’ll work on it during the (yawn) weekend. You have nothing to worry about.” 

“Oh Lola, you’re the best! Thank you! Here, let me take you to the ground—you’re tired—I can take you there in a few minutes.” 

Fairy takes Lola in her arms to flies towards the village. But something isn’t right. The wind is becoming stronger and colder. Fairy is trying her best to fly straight, but the wind is pushing her to the left and to the right. The little green light is struggling against the wind.  

A storm is coming.

Luke Littler became the youngest world champion in darts history on January 3 when the 17-year-old Englishman beat three-time champion Michael van Gerwen 7-3 in the final.

"Everyone dreams of lifting this trophy," Littler said after beating van Gerwen. "I can't believe it."

The teenager has also become a sporting sensation. He's an ordinary English teenager who enjoys fast food and video games but has an extraordinary talent for throwing darts.

That talent has earned him fame and fortune. He made $1.28 million in prize money during 2024 and he added another $620,000 to that when he won the 2025 World Championship.

He has become one of the most talked about sports stars in the UK since finishing as the World Championship runner-up in 2024.

According to Google, he was the most searched sportsperson in the UK in December, and the third-most searched celebrity, behind only Donald Trump and Kate Middleton.

Littler's success has also helped bring darts back into the mainstream.

Although Littler is young, he's been working at his game for more than a decade. There are videos of him throwing magnetic darts while still wearing a diaper.

Van Gerwen was previously the youngest world champion in the elite Professional Darts Corporation competition, winning the 2014 final at age 24.

Van Gerwen said losing his record "hurt" but was full of praise for Littler.

"Every 17 years a star gets born," Van Gerwen said, "and he is one of them."

Many were already wondering if Littler can reach Phil Taylor's record of 16 world titles. Claiming a first title at age 17 will now supercharge that conversation.
