I have always been fascinated by people, especially those who have achieved greatness in their respective fields. The way they accomplish extraordinary things and the circumstances that contribute to their success never cease to captivate me. Unfortunately, in today’s society, one can gain fame and wealth simply by posting pictures of themselves on social media. This reality is a sad reflection of our society as a whole. I believe that these social media platforms hinder achievement and distract us from becoming the best versions of ourselves.
I have named this blog “Close Encounters” because that’s precisely what these experiences are—special moments with some of history’s greatest influencers and innovators. This website allows me to expand upon what I had previously shared on my Facebook wall, as it provides an opportunity for unexpected details, which have faded in my aging memory, to resurface. Feel free to read these random posts at your leisure. If you enjoy them, please let me know, as your feedback motivates me to continue documenting these episodes and brief encounters that have enriched my life.
