A Life's Journey: Choice and Circumstance

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The writings in my life's journey are an examination of events with some of the people, places, and experiences I remembered, fitting them together and appreciating how they influenced who I was. So much time, choices - good and bad, mistakes, failures, and achievements.

I had difficulty concentrating and retaining data in school, until I started taking private music lessons my first year in high school. I was learning to study and memorize music, which started to carry over into my high school classes. My life through graduation was disjointed, but I was making progress and retaining minimal data to enter engineering studies. I struggled through college and upon graduation with my BSEE, was on to a 50-year professional career. My career gave me freedom of choice in engineering and marketing, both domestic and international.

As you follow my path, I essentially learned to make choices based on data and conditions, void of impulse. Many times, I had no choice, confronted with unanticipated events. But even then, I would stop, analyze, and attempt some acceptable outcome. My decision to study engineering and complete my degree lacked any preparation or plan. I was strapped with financial burdens and changing work conditions which I did not manage well. On top of this ... I need to live and grow personally with a philosophy for life, continued music studies, art and culture, and social development ... plus there was the added pressures of the selective service to be considered.
