Howard Moskowitz taught us that a person doesn’t always know
what they want and sometimes you have to tell them. This is why
we now have endless varieties of spaghetti sauce. I just wish I would have
dreamt of spaghetti as a kid…
No child dreams of being a Shift Supervisor, Middle
Management or even Vice President. They dream of changing the world or better
yet being the world.
As a child; like most, I dreamt of being the cliché when I
grew up. However none was more exciting than that of being a professional
athlete, specifically a Football Player. I didn’t want to be a professional athlete
for the star power, glamour or money. I was a kid that was as foreign as the
opposite sex. I did however understand at an early age the saying if you find
something you love you will never have to work a day in your life.
That dream never came true. I even had some built in
advantages; I would have good size, I would have good athleticism and what I
lacked in speed I made up in awareness. I even had some genes with experience.
The only thing that stopped this dream from coming to fruition was in fact my
inability to dream. Though I had a good perspective on life at a young age I
was limited by my own imagination.
…As children we dream of being one of the Skilled Players.
But what if I could have let my mind wonder outside the tackle box? Moskowitz showed
us our path to happiness when it comes to spaghetti sauce. Imagine if he would
have shown me my imagination.
LONG SNAPPER
