[Bob Zelin] “These
things mean little in their lives. Well, let them go play golf, or whatever they do. THIS IS WHAT I DO, and I intend to be good at it until I kick the bucket. When I had knee surgery back in NY City and could not take the subway to work (I was living in Queens at the time) – I hobbled onto the bus with my backpack the NEXT DAY and went to work, and took care of my clients. If I was paralyzed in a car crash, or lost limbs, I would still be doing this. I look at people who are paralyzed, and they are at the gym, or playing in basketball tournaments in their wheel chairs, or “jogging” in their wheel chairs down a long block to keep in shape – these people are HEROS. You don’t give up. You don’t say “whoa is me”. You keep going, you keep pushing, you keep fighting, you keep learning.
I don’t live in the glory days of Quad and 1″ VTR’s. I need to compete with that 30 year old IT guy that knows more than I do – but soon, I will know more than him, and take his clients.
That’s my mindset. And it won’t change, even if I get sick. “
Yes, lots of us feel like this, but NONE of those things you mentioned can end up killing other people can they?
