This is my autobiographical memoirs: Born in China, I grew up in the Chinese ghetto of Saigon, a back water community of the world. This is the story of how I was educated and gradually grew to realize that there was a wide world outside, learned to love writing, found a chance to go to college in Taiwan, discovered a way to come to America, got a graduate education in journalism here, built a career, grew a family and finally enjoying my retirement while continued to learn now things . I like to share my life's story with others, especially today's young people, as a cautionary tale if not a case study on how to look at and plan their future life.

This romance autobiography is an accumulation of over 15 years of writings. I'm 72 and have experienced many wonderful, beautiful, educational, and enlightening moments. I've also endured the dark night of the soul where nothing means anything, all hope is gone, unrelenting loneliness and extremely deep re-occurring depressions. Flip sides of the same coin we call life. I've survived impossible accidents that should have killed me. I've filed bankruptcy twice, loosing half a million dollars of real estate. I haven't had a car in 10 years, rent a furnished apartment and all I own is a cellphone, television, and computer. I've had 20 different careers. Naming a few, I've been a foreman in a steel foundry, automobile salesman, district manager overseeing a 15-million-dollar territory, owner of a television/appliance retail company, store manager responsible for 80 employees, retail manager in the cellular industry, and a dealer for one of the largest casinos in the nation. Some of the wise decisions I thought I was making turned out to be really ridiculous. When writing these down, I wondered how on earth could I have possibly been that stupid. You'll find many that are quite hilarious. I started jotting down thoughts on a cell phone memo pad over 15 years ago. These writings have turned into eighteen manuscripts. An author has the natural talent to paint pictures with words; I do not possess that skill set. Quite by accident, I've developed into a writer. We are entering into an era of magnificent beauty, perfect harmony, perpetual joy, growing wisdom, pure truth, unending peace and unconditional love. You'll read of miracles that I and others have personally witnessed. There are no other logical explanations for what occurred. I've documented everything as accurately as memory permits. Read with an open mind and develop your own conclusions. Our awakening transcendence is occurring now. Bob
