Dr. Shadé Zahrai

We're replacing you with a different drummer.

And he wasn't even really given an explanation.

Just like that, his dreams of working with this band and taking them to stardom had just crumbled.

And he didn't even understand why.

And they said, we're replacing you with a drummer by the name of Ringo.

This band was the Beatles.

Right before their global mega stardom, they replaced their drummer.

Now, Peter Best goes through a depression.

He starts spiraling.

He becomes resentful.

He becomes suicidal.

He's loading bread in the back of a delivery van while he's seeing the band that he worked with for two years on a global tour becoming icons.

Wow.

But today he tells a different story.

He says, everything I've been through, happy and sad, good and bad, have made me who I am today.

I wouldn't change any of it.

He acknowledges that life would have been very different, but he chooses to tell a story that is centered around ownership.

And he chooses to focus on what he has, his beautiful wife, his wonderful kids, his grandchildren.

And he even says, he goes, if you dwell on all the bad things in your life, and if you have a regret or resentment, you will become a twisted and bitter old git, which is a very English thing to say.

But it's so true.
