Most people sold it the company way. I did it my way, and at that time, I was the best. As the years passed, that approach became the only real way to help a young person figure out which direction they should go in life. I’m glad I remembered all of this today. (5/5)

Years later, when I started in sales, my associates were always amazed that I could walk into a white man’s home and sell him a home study course. It wasn’t easy. The job required a negative sales approach, and not everyone could do it. (4/5)

The young man kept saying he was sorry and that it wouldn’t happen again. I was shocked when the man walked away and I realized it was Milton Berle. That moment stuck with me forever. It taught me that everyone is equal, and you should treat everyone the same. (3/5)

I watched the way he talked to celebrities like they were just regular people. He never bowed to anyone because of who they were. One day, when he was managing a health club (I think this was around 1949 or 1950), I saw him chewing out a white man about something that had happened there. (2/5)

He then shared that his brother, who was also a doctor, had just passed away at 59. It hit me as a reminder that you never know when or where life is going to throw something unexpected at you. Stay healthy and take care of yourselves, everyone.

The civil rights movement also started small and was scoffed at in the beginning, but it kept getting bigger and stronger. So will this. The president has to act fast, because if he doesn’t, this could mark the beginning of the end for his ugly self and everything he stands for.

So I started shining shoes for men getting off the subway in NYC. Two months later, I had enough to buy extra gear and rent it to my friends for $10 a day. Looking back, I never thanked my dad for that tough love — the “no” that pushed me to grow up and build something on my own.

What really got me was one team had two men on with nobody out for three straight innings and still could not score. I have never seen that before. Seattle finally pushed one across in the 15th inning and I dragged myself to bed. What a game. #Mariners #Baseball

Things were orderly, contained, and polite on the surface. But times have changed. People with mental health struggles now see violence as the only way to force change. Ironically, more young people, both Black and white, voted for the mess we are in today, throwing away their futures.

Thanks when you have seen a lot nothing surprises you not even mr stupid in the White House

I will follow up in 4 weeks so far so good . Thanks for your support

They were eventually canceled despite good ratings, and later won damages in court. It also brings to mind Nat King Cole’s show in the 1950s, one of the finest ever. It ended after just a year because no national sponsor would back a Black host. Prejudice kept it off the air, not lack of talent.

Thank you. I'm still alive and the procedure went well. Blurry eyed but I'm ok.

I can't see very well today but back at you.
