Читать книгу The Errant Child - Ozzie Logozzo - Страница 6

Do you recall some of your childhood fantasies? I do. Playing hockey in the NHL, running the mara- thon, piloting a plane; skydiving, traveling around the world, becoming a movie actor, writing a best seller; and endless more flights of fancy.

These imagined experiences are a part of growing up, despite age, and greatly gratifying. I have indeed, through persistence, good fortune, and craziness, re- alized some of my dreams.

Where I haven’t, I remain thankful of the endeavor. It is just as exhilarating in working hard and prepar- ing for a task as it is accomplishing it. Philosophers contend that true pleasure resides in the ride not the ultimate destination. The value of a coin remains constant no matter which side you are previewing.

Approaching the half-century milestone in my pro- fessional careers, as an instructor, education admin- istrator, a real estate broker, and executive director, I admit to a wonderful ride. In my new endeavor as an author, I appreciate all the folks I have encoun- tered: The good, the bad, and the ugly have provided tremendous kindle for my storytelling.
