Yeah, i don't have much pity for people not ready to work hard and sacrifice and to give it all for what they want. I love hard work and work ethic and have no sympathy for anyone not ready to bust their assess. I spent much of my life in Alaska and my summers all through childhood through my 20's in the Bering Sea. I remember coming home one time and working with this same person doing construction and all I could think of was "wow, i can eat when i want... i get to sleep 8hrs in my own bed... i don't have ice freezing to my face, driven by 60 knot winds in january" and it started to drizzle a little and he was instantly saying "well, we can't really work now.. .time to go". Was a very funny wake up call to peoples varying and overly subjective ideas of work ethic and sacrifice.
