Book winners step up to the podium

It’s time to announce who has won Guru’s tremendous competition to give away copies of self-development marvel, The Five Minute Failure.

The question was from the Induction to the College of Failure and was: ‘What are the finest virtues a human being can possess?’

Of course, none of you really needed to visit the website (www.collegeoffailure.com) to know that the answer was: “Ignorance, arrogance, fear and, of course, a smattering of good old bigotry.”

This competition proved particularly popular so Guru apologises if you are not on the winners’ podium.
