Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 3/26/18
Over the last week, I had dinner with my wife and two others in Nobu in New York, which cost about $1,600. I also had a $3 hot dog, with mustard and sauerkraut from my favorite vendor on Madison and 50th. I hosted 16 Hall of Fame members at “Come From Away,” the raging hit Broadway musical and Tony winner. And yesterday, at the Stadium Theater in Woonsocket, RI, we saw the ageless rock group, Jay and the Americans.
We go to Nantucket but also the Jersey Shore. We love caviar, and also pizza. I have hired help around the house but will also wash my own car. We attend the ballet and also binge on things like The Walking Dead and Ray Donovan.
This is the diversity of life. Money can buy happiness, don’t let anyone kid you. But it can’t buy meaning. You shouldn’t relegate yourself to some arbitrary tier. I’ve sipped fine wine in London theaters and guzzled beer at Patriot games. There shouldn’t be an interregnum in your experiences in life, but there should be a diversity.
I’ve attended fundraisers for the governor and then played Frisbee with my dog. On any given day, don’t ask me which was more fulfilling.
Don’t worry about writing a book or getting famous or making money. Just lead an interesting life. —Michael Morpurgo
