I Will Not…or Will I?
Well, the holiday season is officially over. The Winter is in full swing, the football season is almost over AND America will begin a brand-new Governmental leadership time! (Yeah yeah, I know some like the man, some hate the man.) Just for his name! I will NOT talk politics, there are too many hate-filled people around that will not see, as in “None are so blind, as those who WILL NOT SEE”. Great quote, that.
I have great faith in America, if you really look at this land- our whole country, you will SEE that in truth freedom does incredibly ring from every mountainside. Every forest, every valley/plain/wild river running free! This land we call home, no matter where you are from yells FREEDOM all around us. Sometimes it takes a while for our people to wake up, but when they do, they will work together to make a difference. These wild lands will never be subjugated, or enslaved. Many city folks think that they are above it all, because they have money and position. HOWEVER: they still call a Plumber or an Electrician, when things go wrong with their homes. If their businesses are having problems, they will call on some lower-wage technician to fix the problem. Gee, why don’t they call another one of their executive buddies? Because for common, everyday problems they are Incompetent!
One BIG problem with the way things have changed, is IF you need a heart surgeon you do not look for a person of a specific gender or race. NO, you want someone who can DO THE JOB! Someone “qualified” who actually knows what they are doing! In the Army (you knew this was coming, didn’t you?) we had a phrase that cut through all the crap, it was: “They really know their…STUFF!" (Hey it’s a family newspaper; I can’t swear on here.) The old “apprenticeship programs” that used to be everywhere. Young folks working WITH a company or business to completely LEARN their trade is a great idea as it puts the people in real life situations to learn their way, so they can earn their way!
There are so many jobs wanting people to work, but some people seem to think flipping burgers is beneath them. They are too good to do a job like that! I have known several folks over the years, that started working at so called, "beginning” jobs. Many of them actually became managers, even district managers who moved up to become executives in the multi-million-dollar companies. Hmm all from flipping burgers, guess they did alright for themselves. Who knew? EVERYBODY! Life can be hard, to make a life for yourself, YOU need to work hard.
Young folks, “Get a Clue!” End of rant. Stay well and warm.
