R.A. is back and he tells a couple stories about a couple desperate times. Once, he felt like it would be better if he were not alive and another that he risked his life to make a name for himself.  We do talk about life lessons that R.A. learned while he endured so much failure and ultimately became a knuckleball artist.  Lessons: -Let it Go -Control What I Can Control -Live the Next 5 minutes well -Ichiro and Ichiro's translator explanation of the Japanese tradition of "Kaizen".
