[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1388267, member: 4362"] I think its very important to learn HOW to work and how to manage your time and I think this is best learned at an early age. When you meld these skills together I think it helps one learn responsibility. Responsibility is what seems lacking in many people today. I'm a firm believer that you make your own reality and the american dream is open to anyone willing to pursue it with diligence. When I was a boy I would have made for a wonderful snowflake myself. Pretty sure my mother would have enabled me to do this however my dad saw things different and the day I graduated high school he complimented me and informed me I had two weeks to get the he77 out of the house and make my way. Suffice it to say, this was never in my plans and while I thought WE were pretty well off I suddenly learned I was not. I won't say it was easy but I've done alright because I had been taught how to work and that is what I did. A few years ago my mother apologized for how I was treated and said she should have stood up for me. I told her that this "mistreatment" was the best thing that ever could have happened to me. One of my children was nearing graduation from high school made the comment that we were wealthy. Without missing a beat I told them that their mother and I were wealthy but they were poor as shyt and they didn't have a high school diploma or any job prospects. A peaceful silence came over cab of the truck but I could hear the faint drip of a melting snowflake. :nod: [/QUOTE]
