SO glad you can see through it all and used your experiences to make a better life.

A 'flip' to the cartoon:

Leonard Bernstein's father wanted Lennie to be a businessman just like he was and encouraged Lennie to study 'business' and follow in his own footsteps. As we know, Lennie went on to be one of America's greatest composers/musicians.
When Lennie's father was asked later about how he had encouraged his son to be a businessman instead of becoming one of America's greatest musicians, the father said, "Hey, how could I know he was going to become Leonard Bernstein!"
