But sometimes God does things in mysterious ways. The world has changed considerably, and I was fortunate to be brought into a loving family that stood behind me and taught me right from wrong and how to give more than to take; it’s a better feeling. I wasn’t the smartest kid in school, but my mother showed me how to work and get what you want and try to learn from your mistakes. I made a lot of friends and some enemies but always tried to maintain a sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh, regardless of how bad the situation was.
If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t change anything except that you should look before you leap and shouldn’t take things for granted. When I was younger, money was very important, but as I aged, knowledge and health were more satisfying. The ’50s and ’60s were an innocent time. Then came the Vietnam War, and people became reckless with sex, drugs, and demonstrations, saying it was not their war, and the government was lying to them. Then came the ’70s and ’80s. We were sending astronauts to the moon on a space shuttle, people were spending money because of low interest rates, and the economy was very strong, with everyone driving big gas-guzzling cars creating smog in large cities. Then the AIDS virus arrived with no cure. The ’90s were the beginning of computers, and the elite were walking around with large cell phones that weighed a pound or two. In 2000, Tiger Woods was a golf sensation, and we started fighting other country’s wars in Somalia, Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan. No wonder we had so many enemies.visualizza meno
