Twenty years ago, I was told a story of Little Brother at a party which has delighted and inspired me ever since.

Little Brother, who was an ambitious painter and trying to be an artist, went to France to __36__ himself with beauty and inspiration. One afternoon, he __37__ a conversation in a cafe with a group of charming young people. They took a liking to Little Brother and invited him to a party that weekend in a __38__ in the Loire Valley. It would be __39__ by the rich and famous and by several crowned heads of Europe. Best of all, it was a masquerade ball(假面舞会)．

__40__， Little Brother worked all week on a costume and held back on neither the details nor the craziness of this creation. Then he rented a car and drove three hours to the castle. Little Brother entered the ballroom, head __41__ high.

Upon which he immediately realized his __42__．

This was __43__ a costume party but he had missed one detail in __44__： This was a themed costume party. The theme was “a medieval court” __45__ Little Brother was dressed as a lobster(龙虾)．

He stood at the top of the steps for one long, horrible moment. Running away in __46__ seemed like the most dignified response. But he didn't run. __47__， he found his resolve. He'd come this far, after all. He'd worked tremendously hard to make this costume, and he was __48__ of it. He took a deep breath and walked onto the dance floor.

As he moved into the crowd, a silence __49__. The other guests gathered around Little Brother. Finally someone asked him what on earth he was.

Little Brother bowed deeply and __50__，“I am the court lobster.”

Then: laughter.

Not ridicule —just __51__. They loved him. They loved his sweetness, his weirdness, his giant red claws, his skinny legs in his bright tights. He was the trickster among them, and he __52__ the party. Little Brother even ended up dancing with the queen of Belgium.

I have never created anything in my life that did not make me feel like I was the guy who just walked into a fancy ball wearing a homemade lobster costume. But you must __53__ walk into that room, and you must hold your head high. Never __54__ for it, never explain it away, and never be ashamed of it. You did your best with what you knew, and you worked with what you had, in the time you were given.

Sometimes it's like that. What you absolutely must not do is walk out. Otherwise you will miss the party, and that would be a pity __55__ we did not come all this great distance, and make all this great effort, only to miss the party at the last moment.

The British Council seeks an inspirational Chair to head the UK's leading international cultural relations charity. The Chair leads a talented Board of Trustees with bold ambitions for the British Council and represents it at the highest levels in UK and across the world.

The British Council builds engagement and trust for the UK through the exchange of knowledge and ideas between people worldwide. 85% of its income is derived from services it provides, and the remainder from government grants. The British Council plans to extend its reach and impact and strengthen its partnerships.

The new Chair will succeed Sir Vernon Ellis whose successful tenure(任期) ends in August 2016.

Energy, dynamism and adaptability must be combined with excellent leadership skills and a track record of achievement that provides a platform from which to deal reliably with government and the international community at the most senior level.

The post is unrewarded, and likely to require 80 to 100 days per year, including extensive travel.

Closing date: Noon 8 June 2016; final interviews, 23 July 2016.
