Of course, that probably just displays my own mental shallowness.<br />I'm going to blame it on the school system wherein we have to keep forging on for whatever cause and are not ever allowed to think of changing course. You're stuck with what you got and that's that! Kudos to the under grad [?] who changed really fast. But sometimes I think there is just this danglingness about not finishing a book, which is interesting because I don't see that same thing manifest in anything else.<br />Well, food maybe. We always had to eat everything and "clean up our plates." I don't think anyone in your generation thinks much about that as a rule to follow. But we had to abide by it, for sure. Quiting seems to be easier for people now. Things aren't so stringent<br />As for JoAnna, she has all the best reasons to give up her job and I'm pleased that she made that choice. Sometimes you just turn down a different road, that's all.mudderbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537045078065798116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266975.post-47255793671762839952009-07-22T13:04:25.270-06:002009-07-22T13:04:25.270-06:00Never give up... Never surrender. I think that yo...Never give up... Never surrender. I think that you make a very valid point, but I think in other perspectives some people are quitting too easily. I often wonder how many people give up on important things in life just because it's hard and they miss out on the rewards of having accomplished something great!Mac Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10299099443253837423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8266975.post-89179966001672279162009-07-22T11:06:30.312-06:002009-07-22T11:06:30.312-06:00Ben, you are so awesome.
