In this fast pace world we all now live in, do you find you still do not have time to do all the things you always wanted to do? Strange or What?

I remember as a kid I was always dreaming of being a Cowboy, because Cowboys always won the battle on the T.V shows that I watched.

But as I become a teenager, I changed my dream to wanting to become a Rcok’n'Roll singer, like Elvis, Cliff Richards, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc, but that was short lived, as I found out pretty soon, into my dream, that I couldn’t sing to save my life.  So I did the next best thing, and that was I managed good singers, and entertainers, and that got me into Clubs, Hotels, and I always had plenty of good woman around me, not necessarily with me, but around my space!

As I got a little older, I wanted to become a more professional type person, like an Accountant, did the first semester, and quickly realised it was to damm difficult and boring!! Maybe a Real Estate Agent, exciting, but frustrating on waiting for people to make up their minds, etc, and then waiting to see if their finances were coming through, etc, etc.

So I packed all of those dreams away, and decided to run my own business, What type of business, as I really didn’t know much about anything but Music, Dancing and a little about Accounting, and Real Estate??  As my parents were in the Fruit and Vegetable Business, I decided that I would go into the family business as it was the quickest and the cheapest way to get into business and make a dollar or two!!   Good idea as far as money was concerned, Very Bad Idea as far as lifestyle, and keeping the marriage together!! as I got involved in the business I found I was working up to 15 hours + to earn this good money, but always felt to tired to do anything worthwhile with my wife and family, so of course my marriage came to a crushing halt!!  Because the money was pretty good, we stuck it out in the Fruit business for some 16 years, in hindsight, about at least 10 years to long!! and it really again, in hindsight was a wasted period apart from accumulating money, that was all going out, to educate and give the children as much as we possibly could, never taking time out to give our marriage relationship a bit of time to enjoy and develop, so it all ended amicably, thank god for that.
