Loosing my acquired nest egg was a terrible blow not only to my way of life but to my ego. How was as ever so stupid to lose it all on a rotten real-estate deal?
I won’t even go into details about the deal, it is unimportant. What is important is how to survive such a blow, and still look at life with a joyful spirit and humor.
I was lucky, at this worst moment an angel dropped by my studio where I had retrieved to keep away from people. Solitude in those worst moments is never a good advisor to solve problems.
My angel Stella dropped in at the most importune moment. “While money can disappear, You have not lost your skills: Experience, Knowledge, and Abilities to Manage a successful business.” She pulled the bed sheets out, and said: “Get up…, let’s go for dinner to this new Chinese restaurant, just opened.”
That sentence still resonate in my mind, after many years passed. The sentence that saved my life.
