If I’m ever in need of employment again, I’ll look you up. Thankfully, I just received an offer letter for my “dream job.” Good thing I didn’t give up trying...

I've been where you are. You can tell a lot about a man by the way he handles adversity.

The best workers, in my opinion, are those who have struggled in the past and understand that employment is a privelege and not a right. They work hard and seldom complain.

I paid my own way through two college degrees by working full-time at some not-so-pleasent jobs. Once, I didn't have enough money to repair my car and hoofed it to work for 6 months. I lived on peanut butter, mac-and-cheese, and spaghetti for 6 years. I lived in cockroach-infested efficiency apartments.

Even if I could go back in time and make my early life more comfortable, I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to take the chance that I would someday end up whining about being mistreated by good people trying to help me grow up.
