Connections mean shit unless you can produce no matter where you live. Can you agree that I have quite a few connections in town??? The answer is yes. Does it have anything to do with real world work, NO! At the same time, I can't just get my way into Zimmer becuase I had one bad experiance at Depuy. You are looking for a cop out. Hard work goes farther then knowing anyone in this town, or any other. Even if you know someone, if you don't work hard, you will be standing in line for unemployment regardless. Being a coach for the last 5 years, I have seen a growning number of parents blaming everyoen else but their kids on thier faults. It's the same way in the work force. If you don't work hard, every 6 months, you are going to be back to ground zero. My last job was granted by someone who didn't know who the hell I was. At the same time, I couldn't accept a 2nd shift full time postion. I have goals, and coaching basketball is goal number 1. I will take eating Roman Noodles and do whatever it takes to coach the sport of basketball and make a living. Regardless of who you know, if you have a goal, and you follow that goal for the most part, you will be successful. Plenty of people on this board have done just that. Maybe we are just a bit late Niger, but we can still achieve the same goal, but it is up to us, and not anyone else! | |

![]() The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them. ![]() |
