@WhiteWhaleLabs @WhiteWhaleLabs why don't you make an unexpected move and pump $Deadwhale ?

It was with great sadness that I learned earlier today of the unexpected passing of the legendary Chuck Norris. I wanted to share a personal story about getting to spend a weekend with one of my childhood heroes, and the life lessons it taught me.
Several years ago, I participated in a charity auction. One of the items up for bid was “A Weekend at the Chuck Norris Ranch.”
The first lesson I learned: auctioneers do not know blackjack hand signals.
As I mentioned, Chuck Norris was a childhood hero of mine, so naturally I was very interested in winning the auction. I bid aggressively, but once the price climbed to $60,000, I decided I was probably out. Every time the auctioneer came back to me, I waved him off using the same hand gesture you’d use at a blackjack table to tell the dealer you don’t want another card.
Apparently, the auctioneer interpreted that as another bid.
So, almost $100,000 later, I found myself the accidental winner of the auction. Thankfully, it was for a good cause, so I didn’t lose too much sleep over it.
When the time finally came to enjoy my weekend at the Norris ranch, I traveled to Texas.
After being buzzed in at the gate, I drove up the long driveway to the ranch house, which struck me as surprisingly modest considering all Chuck had accomplished in life.
I parked, stepped out of the rental car, and was greeted by his lovely wife, Gina.
After exchanging pleasantries, she said, “Carlos will be up in a minute. He’s just down at the pond killing a water moccasin.”
Without missing a beat, I replied, “Did he kill a water moccasin, or did a water moccasin see Chuck Norris and commit suicide?”
Once I got settled into one of the guest cabins out back, I began what turned into a very memorable weekend - one that taught me a couple of valuable life lessons.
Lesson #1: Never judge a book by its cover.
Before spending time with them, I made the easy assumption - one I’m sure many people might have made - that his much younger wife was simply arm candy. The benefit, perhaps, of being a successful man. Nothing particularly remarkable.
Boy, was I wrong.
Not only was it obvious that she absolutely adored him, she was brilliant.
Many years ago, they discovered an ancient aquifer on their ranch and decided to build a bottled water company, CForce. As it turned out, she ran the company. When I was taken on a tour of the bottling plant directly across the road from the ranch, it was obvious this was her baby. She knew every part of the operation, and she ran the company day to day. As someone who spent much of my life in consumer packaged goods, I naturally had a lot of questions, and she answered every one of them. Even Chuck freely admitted she was the brains behind the operation.
Young arm candy? Not even close. Brilliant businesswoman is more like it.
I was embarrassed that I had privately prejudged her.
Lesson #2: Live a life so full that you forget your own résumé.
As an act of love, Gina had turned one of the outbuildings on the ranch into a museum of Chuck’s accomplishments.
The most interesting part of the museum tour was that Chuck himself didn’t remember half of it.
Watching his amazement and excitement as he was reminded of different things he had done - things that had escaped even his own memory - I found myself reflecting on what that really meant.
What a life.
In that moment, I realized that if you could accomplish so much in your lifetime that you couldn’t even remember the full extent of your own résumé, that was an accomplishment all by itself.
That weekend gave me more than a story about meeting a childhood hero. It gave me perspective. Don’t underestimate people. Don’t reduce them to appearances. And above all, live so fully, build so boldly, and do so much good that one day even you can’t quite account for all of it.
Rest in peace, Chuck. And thank you for the memories.
