Look for joy in your life; it's not always easy to find.

Now that I look back on it, having retired from being a reporter, it was kind of romantic. It was a wonderful way to live one's life, just as I imagined it would be when I was 6 or 7.

I recognize that I had a good deal of good luck in my life. I came along at a time when it was pretty easy to get a job in journalism. I went to work at CBS News when I was about 22, and within a year or so was reporting on the air.

We always take credit for the good and attribute the bad to fortune.

I don't think I had a reputation as a hard worker, but inside I was always being eaten up by the pressures.

I would like to explore some side roads in life while I am still in good health and good spirits.
