My Fortune Cookie It said: “Your entrepreneurial spirit will take you far.” Hey wait, I’m 78. Last time I was entrepreneurial was loooong ago, almost antediluvial. If I would embark on something so primordial, I first would need to travel again the river of life, and dig into my life’s fluvial. What has been deposited in this river, its bountiful sediments, That has helped me to cause my benefit and betterment? It’s this: an interest in others, in his or her story, A dip into their rivers, their pain and their glory. This has been a strong point for long a priority: To help navigate their voyage down life’s tricky fluidity. To be a beacon of light to others in their plight. If this is what the cookie says will take me far, It’s right, it’s been my good fortune to help others be a star.
