I'm doing 22 things
I met him last year at a book signing in Indianapolis. I had to get up at about 3 in the morning and stand in line a long time, but it was worth every minute. I shook his hand and asked him what advice he’d give a young man. He thought for a minute, then told me how it was so important to never stop learning. He talked about how fast the world was changing and how it would change even faster in the future. This remains one of my best memories ever, just behind getting married and the birth of my daughter. Definately, definately worth it.
