4 will gtf yi ra r. For Dr. Ralph Bunche, Under Secretary General of the United Nations and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, the turning point was even more prosaic. As a small boy in Detroit, where he was orphaned at 13, Bunche dreamed of being captain of one of the steamers he could watch from the banks of the Detroit River. But when he took a job as a petty officer and messman on a coastal line plying between Los Angeles and Seattle, he discovered that he became violently seasick in rough water.

So he exchanged a life at sea for a career in diplomacy. Die cast early Some of the great names in the world today admit that they were preordained by birth and parentage to be what they are today, and that they really wouldn't want it any other way. Says India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, daughter of the late Jawaharlal Nehru: "From earliest childhood I have been too enmeshed with the political situation in my country to think of anything else. Equally candid is auto magnate Henry Ford who cheerfully acknowledges: "I never had a chance to have any youthful dreams because I knew I was going into the automobile business." However, New York Governor Rockefeller says that if he had succeeded as a painter or a sculptor he never would have tried his hand at politics. "I don't happen to have those talents," he confesses.

However, he gives vent to his artistic instincts by stocking the Executive Mansion in Albany with fine paintings and by being active in museum affairs. Many celebrities say that they decided early what they wanted to do and mapped their careers accordingly. Richard Rodgers always wanted to be a composer, Ingrid Bergman an actress, Norman Rockwell an illustrator. Artist Salvador Dali remembers finishing two paintings, of Helen of Troy and of loseph and his Brethren, by the age of 10. Wernher von Braun, the rocket authority, recalls attaching firecrackers to his little wagon at the age of 8 and scattering pedestrians out for a stroll on the Tiergarten Allee in Berlin.

Judging by the way he answers questions. Bob Hope was a born comedian, although he encountered several detours along the way. To the question of whether he would prefer any other career, he breezily answers: "Sure, I'd like to be an agent handling me. Or maybe an astronaut going to the moon because I can't find a parking place. I've tried lots of things in my life.

I sold newspapers and pulled taffy, then moved up to delivery boy, soda fountain clerk and shoe salesman. I taught tap dancing and even did some amateur boxing, though I was on the canvas so much they called me Renoir. I even tried newspaper reporting, but I finally found out that jokes were the thing. They made the Internal Revenue people happy, so I stayed with that I've been luckier there than anything else I tried." Cary a failure? Another Hollywood personage, actor Cary Grant, says: "All of us, depending on circumstances, make our own paths. We do the best we can in the light of what we know.

From what we leam, we sometimes think we should have done something different That's where the conflict arises. So looking back with too much dissatisfaction on what we might have done can be a waste of time. I often think my life has been a failure. But whenever I drop into a theater and hear women laughing at one of my films, I think, well, if I brightened their day before they went home and did the dishes, maybe my. life wasn't wasted, after all." Sums up cellist-conductor Pablo Casals, now 92 and a musician since earliest childhood: "If I had my life to live over again, I would do the same thing if I had the same gift" In other words: use and be happy with whatever gifts God gave vou.
