Thank you for your mature response... its a breath of fresh air " On this Forum "... Its hard to find some real gown ups on this forum.,.. ON another note.. one that you touched on... my parents were very moral and ethical, they wondered how I would make in a world so ripe for turmoil... But when I decided to leave College, became an Army officer and volunteered to go to Vietnam. My parents worried, but supported my decision..
MY family was always at my side... when I left the military, ( disable combat veteran ) I continued my education finished my Degree in engineering, and went on to GM where I retired 14 years ago...my parent worried about me, just like I worried about my children, and their future in an ever evolving world.... both of my kids were able to put their priorities in order, follow my oen work ethic and never compromise their on integrity. MY son followed me into the engineering arena, with his Own B.S.M.E. and my daughter holds a Doctorate in Pharmaceutical Science. The kids today, have to work as hard as we did, and as hard as my kids did.. Todays kids, that are successful in life follow these same morals and ethical and have their priorities in order.... The failures in today world are those kids. who disrespect, Seniors citizens, think they know it all, look for the fun factor, getting high, getting over, want something for nothing and demand the government do more so they can do less.. I see lots of low life scum bags in the news .. I see lots of disrespectful kids.. but the good news is there are thousands and thousands of kids who know its hard to be successful, and that it takes a lot of hard work to get there.. respect wisdom that come at the hands of their professors and those seniors who have been successful in life. drugs and partying is not the right road, the dummies of our society follow this road.. I get pissed off here when people ( young kids and immature adults ) do not respect those of us who have made an impact on the people we touch in a positive way./.. Even in an internet forum its easy to see who the low life's and scum bags are, no matter how hard they try to cloak their personality.
It was nice to see a civil post from an obvious gentleman. One who is now seeing all the pieces fall together, as they look back on their life... If you did your life in a positive way, your retired years will be highly rewarding be they 10 years or 40 years...
