Life is out of our hands. Recently I spoke with a college student, who is graduating this spring from a prestigious university. He reached out to me to get a reality check on the entertainment business. I was honest and passionate about the ways of the business. He wrote me back an elegant email saying that while he appreciated my candor, he was disillusioned. I started thinking about all of the wonderful people I met at the Natural Products Show last week, and the samples I ate. All were selling their own “secret sauce.� No matter what they were selling, they believed that they had the best products. Maybe they did, and maybe they did not. Life is about context. The university student thought he was very important (in college) and now realizes that his competition is just beginning. The food vendors have to convince buyers that what they are selling is good, but then the customer will eventually decide the product’s fate. Television networks, studios, and, ultimately the consumer will determine the student’s fate. Life, in most instances, is out of our hands, but you can embrace it everyday and make it a good life.
