Greetings
Hello Thomas,
Welcome to our community. I suspect you have both good and bad news for us. As I am exhausted by discussions regarding my immediate future, please give us the good news first.
I do have one question for you in two parts. First, if you were to choose just one emotion that motivates you most, which would it be? You may only pick one. And be as blatantly honest as I know you are. Would that emotion be Shame, Anger, or Anxiety?
Then, can you describe an event in your early childhood that might be responsible for said motivating emotion? And we love longer answers here as we are quite fond of words. Thank you!
cerial,
I think as you do. Students of the Industrial Revolution have an interesting way of explaining the impact of the socio- and technological advances of the mid-19th century. If you were to take an individual living in 1820 and send him back to 1320 he might have a little difficulty with the language but no more than idiom and accent--he would thrive in the society and find his way very well.
You take that same man and put him 50 years in the future and he is lost beyond recovery. He cannot find comparable work for his skills and he would be overwhelmed by the changes most of the new technologies had placed on daily life.
You and I are probably in a similar stretch of history. Imagine a grandparent at the age of 20 in 1950 being sent here to 2004. Imagine just the adjustment for credit cards/debit cards alone? I am getting off topic. Sorry.
