All my life I have been a great advisor. I made a good living at it, but I was also good at it on a personal level.
I can’t tell you how many times people have quoted things I said to them that helped them enormously and my immediate reaction was “Damn, that was great stuff. Why didn’t **I** listen to me?”
My life has been a mess, and I cannot deny that I knew better.
About 1950 Walt Disney made a movie called “Alice in Wonderland.” One song from that movie has haunted me ever since.
The refrain of that song was:
“I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it.”
And that, ladies and gentleman, is Bob’s biography in a nutshell.
