Four Bits of Wisdom from Tony Bourdain
My wife bought us a couple of tickets to go see Tony Bourdain at Bass Concert Hall. I’ve always respected Mr. Bourdain’s treatment of cultures around the world (in way similar to Michael Palin). A couple of interesting thoughts:
- On Partners: At 11 o’clock at night when your partner calls how will you feel about taking that call? Do you really want to be partners with someone whose call you won’t take at night?
- On Picking what you do: A year from now when I look back, will I hate myself for doing this?
- On Gluten: I travel a lot, I don’t see people having problems with Gluten in India….they simply can’t afford to be allergic to gluten.
- On Taking What’s Offered: When someone offers you food or alcohol in their home accept it. They’re offering their culture, their history. Your relationship with them won’t go further if you don’t.
- On Raising his Daughter: She will know she’s loved. She will not have problems with self esteem and will certainly know martial arts
