NEW COMMENT: This is the man from the UK totally shocked but humbled by your gracious words which depsite the lateness of the hour last Thursday are pretty accurate. To fill in the blanks . . .

The UK man in Colombia was not in either of those countries last week. He was in New York’s Midtown with a bunch of businessmen from a boutique investment firm. He asked what I did, and I told my story of looking for jobs, along with now nearly 5% of the American workforce.
Then comes the part when people offer their philosophies on life and how to make it through a hard time. They usually end with, “You’ll find something!” (And some New Yorkers are a tad bit more pessimistic.)
I don’t remember if this guy said that, and, to be honest, I don’t even remember his name. But I remember his story.
“Luck!” was how he got his job, he said.
“Wasn’t it just taking advantage of the right opportunities?” I asked.
“No.”
