Well this thread is kind of an "explanation" of sorts, I guess..
My dad was a success in his endeavors, and did not understand my lack
of "drive", to put it simply...
I studied in high school and college, for the ministry, as I thought I had it all figured out.
My last sermon to the church we were active in, was more or less, a
surrender.
The church I belonged to was chock full of old folks, and I more or less
said I had no reason to be on the pulpit, as they had been on the planet for 30 plus years more than me, and I have nothing to "tell" anyone.......
In a nutshell, I think when all is said in done, if you have hated all the time
you have invested in a job, and you have done it for a long time, that is a
bigger shame than not meeting your supposed "potential"........
I feel that enjoying what little time on this planet outshines any legacy
of "greatness", but I may be way wrong, and the only real mark we may
make on this planet is the impact our children make.
Sorry I am rambling, but that is kinda why I started this thread.
Would rather sweat, cuss, and itch working on a combine any day!!!
