As I might have already mentioned, I once had a career in hi-tech. My parents were hard working Polish immigrants. They worked hard their whole adult life to send me to college, so I could experience a better life via a good career. However, my career never really went the way I would have liked. I felt as though I was always respected, a good engineer. But, it seems I was always in a rut, doing the same old thing. After a while, I pretty much lost interest in computer science, and no longer got excited about going to work. In fact, most of our working population doesn't get excited about running out the door, and heading off to work. They do it to pay the mortgage, make that car payment, send the kids to pre-school, and save a little for retirement. Pretty soon retirement is here, and they're too tired to enjoy it. They were often lured by stock options, bonuses, and rewarded themselves with that new SUV, that big screen TV, etc.. They're sentenced to life of "success". A couple years ago, I took this photo, as my comment on this topic. One mistake I made was I hung it up in my office. Bruce, the CEO of our company, a really nice guy, saw it one day. I brought it home. If you happen to read this, I'm sorry Bruce, I didn't mean any disrespect.
