While I agree with what you say here (especially the taking 40 years to learn
part <g>), I don't share your perception of the quote. For me it says, "Take
responsibility for your own life, don't expect to be coddled by anyone, get off
your a** and get with it". It's a message that doesn't get out to young folk
much.

Ben,

I might add that when I was young, my grandfather used to relate that I was the laziest one man he had ever seen, not worth the powder and lead to blow me up. Only reason I spent all of that dayum money on computers was so I didn't have to work so hard <g> Work is what we make it, and the younger generation is ALWAYS lazier, because we had to walk 10 miles to school uphill both ways, through 30 foot snow drifts. <g>

I've found that youth always live up to, or down to, our expectations. I'd even bet Michale Angelo's father thought he was a lazy lout <g>

Give them the imagination, and hunger is a powerful motivator. As Razzak always says, if you can dream it, you can do it!!

Just my $.02 worth <g>
