I only met with the client a couple of times nearly two years ago but he impressed me with his gregarious and friendly nature. He was certainly one of my more memorable clients.
The thing those of us can take from events like the foregoing is that there really is no time like the present to pursue you dreams and ambitions whether that is starting a business, commercializing your invention, or traveling around the world. As long as your are breathing, it is never too early or too late to begin. And realize that tomorrow, which may never come, may be too late. In other words, for those things and actions that are really important to you, such as your life goals, you may not be able to wait for another day.
As they say in a long dead language: Carpe Diem!
