Two weeks ago,… I was disappointed, United Airlines had no more stand by seats. But instead of moaning and groaning, I kept my head held high.
At the baggage terminal, I ran into Tracy Morgan, comedian starring as “Tracy Jordan” in hit NBC show 30 Rock. “Tracy, people in China love you!” That’s my line for getting photos.
During that afternoon, the airport was not crowded. A few fans requested photos, but it was rather a quiet scene.
While Twittering on my laptop “Tracy Morgan at SFO” in that stainless steel telephone booth, he happen to sit in the both next to me with his girlfriend. Not wanting to waste this opportunity, I picked his brains.
“Tracy, how do you deal with struggles in life?”
In a more stern cautious face, Tracy reminded me to embrace struggles. He commented that comedian such as Martin Lawrence and a host of others struggle. He taught me that struggles are what make life worth living. All of the sudden, the comic genius in him broke out. He did a short monologue.
I’m paraphrasing, but to the extent that he mentioned that struggle is when my dad’s sperm attempts to reach my mom’s egg. Struggle is trying to get into heaven, and seeing if we’re on the list.
Tracy agreed with me, that comedians are one of the smartest people. He reminded me that the court jester was one of the most coveted people during the times of the kings. I told him that I wanted to bring more comedy to Hong Kong. He looked at me and just encouraged me to just do it.
Honestly, my passion is running Campusfork Inc. + also in the food industry, but I find that comedy just lightens the spirit, and just make people laugh. In India, I learn that there are laughing clubs since studies show that it is healthy.
More. When I met Seth Rogen
It’s amazing how you just go up to people and talk to them, no intimidation. You’ve got “it” I know you’ll go far.
Steph,
You’re one of the few people who encourage me constantly, for this I thank you.
