I present a concise review of where we stand in particle physics today.
First, I will discuss QCD, then the electroweak sector and finally the
motivations and the avenues for new physics beyond the Standard Model.Comment: 17 pages. Concluding talk given at the XXIV International Symposium
on Lepton Photon Interactions at High Energies (Lepton Photon 2009), Hamburg,
Germany, 17-22 August 200
