that is correct... except I dont put up with any bs at all... so its a
pure
pleasure, none wasted on assuagements. when you get older you see
that it never paid at any point to put up with any crap at all... it
ruins a person.
a while back I sold my business and went on the road consulting, so I
could see
the inside of the heavy stuff, nuc plants, heavy industry. large
systems etc and
knock elbows with all the engineering genius out there.
well there was damn little of the latter... and wall to wall eye
watering levels of completely
insane corruption and incompetence...and while I didnt cater to it
much at all, in fact
I blew the whistle on some of the nuclear issues.. it still decimated
my abilities as
an entrepreneur...it took me 10 years out of that loop to recover and
get some of my
entrepreneurial moxie back.
it is my current view that a person is better off starving to death
under a bridge than putting
up with any crap.... I see those that have catered to it, then become
part of the mess.
the bulk of cor****ate america... and govt... These become diseased
human beings...
the disease itself to a large extent. some exceptions of course. but
not the rule.
these become pathogens
