Dear Rolli. Your essay, Honest Work, resonated. Your tribulations in the different occupations you participated to earn a living reminds of my life as I worked my way through university. You were a grave digger, I was a gravestone sales person. You were a charicturist, I was the waiter serving the martinis. You were a roofer, I was a real estate agent, so forth and so on. Of course, I became a hopeless failure at everything, but for the time I peformed the service, there was a badly needed paycheck. For me, it all ended at the wall of my service in Vietnam. After leading a special ops team and facing mortality with every step, my survival created a different trajecteory to my focus and success. I no longer failed, or beleived myself incompetent. To the contrary, I considered failure was not an option. It was this change in my attitude that reversed all hesitation to succeed. I liked you article. Well written, humorous, and fun to read. Thanks. Regards
