The Cup Noodle inventor was so smart!

Momofuku Ando (who invented cup noodles) is a real inspiration to me because he only made real progress in his late 40's. Same with Rex Stout, the author. He only  became well-established as in author when he was in his middle age too. These men worked hard but didn't really seem to get the results they wanted immediately which inspires me because these days it seems like if you don't have instant talent, you're never going to be successful. That is untrue. And I'm glad to have these two guys (and many other people's lives too) to remind me of that.
