Well, this kid had me fooled. Sorry I got in on this late, but this is is
remarkable. All this time he's been talking like he knows something and he
hasn't been alive long enough to learn table manners. I thought he was just
an arrogant old SOB and here he's a mere child, albeit one who needs to be
taken out behind the shed and taught how to behave with people.
Robert Frost was giving a lecture once at an college and when he got up to
the podium he made a comment, a sorta of joke about being over 40 I think.
Sorry, I can't remember what he said, but the students began to laugh. He
was solumn, looked at them in astonishment, and said,
"Why are you laughing? You couldn't possibility understand what that means,
you haven't been alive long enough."
One of the things about the Internet is, you can be anyone you want and who
will know the difference? Well, Junior, it's a whole lot easier to laugh at
your ignorance now that I know you're just a snot-nosed kid. Get out and
get your hands dirty, bale hay, dig a ditch with guys who can't read, don a
tux and mingle with the county club set, sell a car or real estate, fight a
war in a jungle on the other side of the world, raise a family and deal with
kids, let yourself go flat broke and then pull yourself up again, lose the
people you love to death or divorce. And after you've really had some
experience, come back and we'll see if you've learned the meaning of
humility and empathy. Then we can talk about careers and experience.
