This week marks the 15th anniversary of the death of Nathan Birnbaum. I shared the January 20th. Birthday with Mr. Birnbaum although he was born in 1896 a few years before my arrival in 1963. As a young child and early in my adult life I watched Nathan on television and was actually honored to see him perform live in late 1985 at the Resorts Casino in Atlantic City.
Many great people over the years have been quoted with lasting remarks. None in my life have ever had more influence that the great Nathan Birnbaum’s.
“I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.”
Friends, find something you love to do and excel at it. If you fail try again. Nelson Birnbaum never gave up. I love the work I do today and can only say that I am blessed to work for the company I do. Don’t ever give up on your dreams. If Nathan Birnbaum had ever given up…you will agree that the world would be a different place today. Nelson was that important to the world and SO ARE YOU!!!
Nathan Birnbaum lived to be 100 years and 45 days old and he touched the hearts and lives of many folks in those years. I can only hope that I live to touch just a few of the number of lives that he was able to change.
Have a blessed day…see you soon.
Nathan Birnbaum (January 20, 1896 – March 9, 1996), Better known to the world as George Burns
