Ken Fritz article

I watched the YouTube video. So impressive.

After the enthusiasm for a million dollar hifi system the deeper, sadder story is  one of obsession, selfishness, alienation and loneliness. A sad tale of a one track, laser focused mind. But you’ve got to tip your hat for one fulfilling his life long dream. An accomplishment not often realized. 

Thanks @hilde45 for the links....and the object lesson of OCD/obsession allowed to become a kudzu that smothers all, including its’ owner.

Most have an obsession of some sort at some level. As pointed out, the successful illustrate that in their varied ways, and sometimes get to share the minus issues it bears when others about them just can’t deal with it anymore.....the current example our X-POTUS, who seems destined to spend the remainder of his life in courtrooms.

Unlike Ken, I don’t feel sorry for him at all....or his family.

Kens’ family? "Woulda’, coulda’, shouda’"...allowed his obsession to dominate their lives as well as his....

Goats like to eat kudzu. If this was realized and put to practice earlier, it might not have become ’the weed that ate the South.’

(An absurdovation to yours unruly to share: Put ’jit’ after Ken, no space....
sound familiar? 12" concrete walls....can’t/won’t share details about his equipment/space....). One can wonder about these things....

I’m a bit ADD/OCD...it has some benefits....and its’ drawbacks.

Fortunately, I have too many things that keep me preoccupied, and enough prodding by those about me to not allow me to get stuck on any one item or task.

I trust I’m not alone...here, there, and most anywhere else...to suffer to the degree of the late Mr.Fritz.....and, if there be an afterlife beyond this realm of reality....

Don’t seek Ken out...he’ll try to commandeer you to help in tuning the cosmos.

RIP, Ken....it may be heaven, but it could also be yet another version of hell.

I don't know about obcession.every other night on being at the hospital in a 6 year surgical residency has served me and my patients well.but it has been at at a price to me and my family.corporate has been a determination of medicine when we have the best technology but it ties our hands and won't let us use it .too many deniels by insurance and too much paperwork not just by physicians but by nurses most dislike it. The interview by the jet blue owner was asked why he didn't take meds for his ocd.simply stated would not haVe got much done.our image guided machine to fix brain fluid leaks has revolutionized skull base and sinus surgery.enjoy the music keep healthy.

@carlsbad2 and @p05129 I knew there would likely be those that would respond as the two of you did with personal attacks because you likely see yourselves in what is being presented in the article. I feel sorry for you too.You have no idea my level of success in life; my profession or my athletic/musical abilities for that matter. Life is about balance something the two of you seem to not be able to grasp. I don’t need to brag about my level of income to me that is not what matters most having the love and respect of my wife and children is my most cherished achievement. I put four kids through college, 2 with masters degrees with no student debt attached to any of them, own my home outright. My wife and I take all our kids and grandkids on vacation for 1 week every year without fail to ensure connection remains in tact.When folks quote from how to be successful books I know they probably are not. I’ve never found much use in them other than to enrich the author. A mench is born not made,sorry.But I don’t put down those who did get a Phd I had to grind for mine (building a successful business),thats my story again no need to brag. My words of wisdom are cited from the book of my own life experience and hard work. To some my perspective may present as that of a mediocre loser, I’m ok with that.
