Menial labor in uncomfortable circumstances, great motivation to study hard and do well, again, just as you say Paul.


funny stuff. very similar situation as myself. i actually quit school. had a decent job installing outdoor signs. had to install a marquis, and the boss didnt work it out with the electricians, on who had to dig the conduit trench. mark and i started digging a huge trench by hand...he stopped, and put his head in his hands...i asked, "what's up?", he replied, "cliff, look at us, we are effen ditch diggers!"

mark now owns a successful graphic design company. anyone that plays games at home by EA sports has seen his work. we moved on from the physical work, happily.

A friend of mine is over 40 and he still mows yards for extra money. He realized one day as he was paying his dues at the gym that we was paying to work out. He decided to go back to mowing for exercise and cash.
