I also ate ramen noodles for a year. I balanced it out with cocoa Cheerios, which had just hit the shelves at my local CVS. They were pricey too, but I loved them and splurged. But back to the ramen noodles, I remember being sick and wanting some chicken soup; all I had was chicken-flavored ramen. Ate it anyway, and then, surprisingly, felt better and recovered magnificently. Which made me realize something so profound that , for a moment there , I thought the world was about to end simply because it no longer needed an explanation…of course, I prevented myself from fully comprehending so that we can all live to see another day. You’re welcome. But yeah, ramen.

Hi James,
I wonder, how a shy guy like you interviewed a governor and even tried to interview the US president (all that as a young kid..)?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!

This is such an awesome post. 1) I’m glad that I (age 48) am not alone in having these same thoughts and struggles. Thank you. (2) It also occures to me that many mega-successful athletes, movie stars, and singers ALSO have these same thoughts and struggles, in spite of fame and fortune. I once knew a Trust Fund Baby on Park Avenue in NYC, who was married to a Corporate Raider, who ALSO had these same thoughts and struggles. And that is what I find so humbling and thought-provoking–the fact that people share the EXACT same fears and struggles whether they have achieved wealth and greatness, or whether they are tirelessly trying to figure out their purpose.

From age 3 to 17 my purpose was to be a good student, son and athlete. Age 17 to 30 I was very selfish and was the most fit body at any pool in Las vegas. The best or 2nd best runner in my USMC unit. But after age 32 I realized this was not a good “purpose in Life”. I got married to a very good woman, German citizen, we had 2 fine kids now grown. Age 33 to 61 now, my purpose was to be a good dad, husband, try to be unselfish. Very blessed by God. I am still one of the most fit 61 yr olds at the pool in Vegas. Ha, Now retired DWP Hydrographer

Happy Birthday! And happy Father’s day to all the dads out there. Our kids won’t think we’re cool, but I think you are.

I saw a documentary on Colonel Sanders that said when he headed off to sell his fried chicken recipe he “took to the road in a battered car”. I still think that’s funny.
