Rudolph Giuliani did what everyone thought was impossible: He closed the parks at midnight.
You can’t do that! tabloid headlines cried.
But it turned out that – um – yes he could.
That singular act taught the young 20-something me a very powerful lesson: I control my own status quo. I then started looking at everything differently:
“You have to work for a company – 9 to 5, Monday through Friday.” Not so.
“You have to know what you want and act quickly.” Not so.
“If you don’t like the way something is, you just have to live with it.” Not so.
Not so, Not so, Not so about a whole host of things!
When Giuliani locked the park at night, he opened me to the idea that I could do anything.
