Download - Struck by Lightning
This is my story …
From age 9, I wanted to be an artist..
But I didn’t draw well.
I practiced. I took countless lessons with many different teachers.
I didn’t really improve.
My art teachers threatened to hurt me if I didn’t stop.
So I became an accountant because
I could…
Subtract
Add
I wasn’t happy
I tried not to think about it.
Then at the age of 33 …
while taking shelter in the top of the 5th inning of my daughter’s rain-delayed softball game…
I was struck by lightning.
Several days, a few burns, and one doctor visit later…
I noticed during a death-by-ppt meeting that my doodling was quite good!
I became obsessed -- drawing, painting, sculpting, creating during every free moment.
Friends and strangers said that I was talented. I went back to my former art teachers…
...they cried.
They wanted to shoot themselves.
I quit my job and began selling my work.
I made a fortune!
Unfortunately, my
spouse left me.
Get over it!
Today my daughter and I live in a Manhattan penthouse with a maid, driver, and a Mercedes.
We spend summers in our Tuscany villa.
See. Dreams do come true!
But then …
…sometimes they’re just dreams.
Bob, go back to bed.
The End
