[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1522239, member: 17843"] I’ve spent the last 24 years of my life trying to better the lives of students with disabilities. I couldn’t begin to explain what all has went into that. I recently saw one of the first students I ever had who has held a steady job for the last 20 years, which is often tough for people with his disability. He hugged me the moment he saw me and we chatted for about half an hour. He told me how I helped him so much and believed in him. I don’t think I need to hang my head and feel like I haven’t tried to accomplish anything in my life. You mention all the overachievers who lead the world in whatever they do. Is that what people who are busy all the time tell themselves? That’s probably a good feeling to believe you are busy all the time because you are in the same league as Thomas Edison or Louis Pasteur. I mentioned that I like to have time to spend with my aging parents and my daughter at college. Does that not make any sense to you? I wonder when they lower my dad in the ground if I’ll be thinking, “Crap, I wish I hadn’t wasted all that time with him; heck, I could have been working my butt off instead.” [/QUOTE]
