WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

I grew up in the long haired hippie, dope smoking, free love, rebelling, never will amount to anything generation. The way some of you look down on these young people, is nothing compared to what we went through. All in all, I think we turned out pretty good. I have friends that complain about their kids leaching on them. Who raised them? My son got his first job at 16, and since has yet to ask me for a dime. He goes to work everyday, some of which may be 12-14 hours. I taught him work ethics, just like my Father did me. Some of you may have already given up on these young people, but not me. In my 50 years, most of which was in management, I had several young people work for me. Some didn’t make the cut, but most I taught those same type of ethics. Some of those hated me at the time, but now come back and thank me because that guidance helped to make them successful. The most pride I took in my job was to help those working for me to be the best they could be. Not just at their job, but life in general. I was pretty successful in my career, but I couldn’t have done that if my crew wasn’t successful also.
