My thoughts only
My daughter has two sons and they are as different as night and day.
The oldest grandson is shy and withdrawn a lot like I was as a young person and knows all there is to know about tech equipment shy and few friends
The younger grandson is mister personality with lots of friends like his dad.
I observe people a lot, I ran printing presses for 26 years and in my eyes was one of the best in my area in ( N. C. ) My employers recognized my ability, GOD given to me. One manager knew it was a God given talent and told me so. He was Catholic by the way.
I worked at that plant just shy of 20 years before it merged with Avery and became Avery Dennison. Some people up North think people from the south crawled from under a rock and can't tie their shoes. Well I was sent to Philly Pa. with another guy to train on presses Pa. had worn out and wanted to send back to N.C. A write off that eventually ended up in Mexico plant. Lots of big corp. high productivity management stuff. I went from A.D. to a place in Charlotte called Jordan Graphics in 93. I worked there three years and thought it was a nice place to work. That factory was started by a local guy that built the business on his own into a thriving business.
He ran it all his working career.
When he retired either he or his family wanted it sold. Another local family the Dixons bought the printing company. Their company was known as Ruddick Co. and they own the grocery stores in the area know as Harris Teeter. and also A and E. sewing plants in the area.
I said all that to say this. I worked with a supervisor that even in my eyes was the best I had ever seen. One heck of a nice man too.
As I said before I observe people, and watched him like a hawk to see what I could learn from him. He did it with very little effort.
I watched the people that were not good press people also and learned from them as well. The Bible says you can learn from a fool.
Heres the thing. The young grandson is in to all the gaming stuff. I was at their house and he wanted be to watch him play a game where you pick a fast car and try to beat a set time limit.
He was crashing it into trees , buildings, and any thing to beat another person he played againsst. My thought is thats how young people think they can do out on the real highway. Nascar type stuff back in my early days. I told him that would never work in the real world. So maybe you know where I'm coming from.
Did this in a rush, must go to rehab, the guy is waiting on me as I do this. God Bless you all
