[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4814120, member: 77939"] Here we go.... My parents didn't have a whole lot......don't get me wrong....I never missed a meal or didn't have clothes on my back or have a hand me down car. Actually, never "wanted" for anything. Ok. I played football and that took a lot of time in high school. So, I didn't work much except summers. I worked 2-3 jobs and worked at least 12 hours a day in the summer. That said, to show that I've always worked long hard hours.....lawns, lifeguard etc. Football taught me that we have way more left to give inside us......Pkg car was really a breeze physically. It was dealing with the intellectually dishonest mgt. folks I had to work under......in other words much more of a mental game than physical. Excellent pay and benefits kept me coming back..... I don't think I'm really any different than most folks. What I described above can fit the average person. What I finally realized was that in my life, nothing was going to be given to me and I had to work to eat. My parents gave me the education and tools to go out and figure life out. It worked. I've been through 40 Peaks.....How? To borrow a phrase.....just do it. I made $120,000 this year. I don't think this needs any comment. We have free insurance that is saving my Wife's life.....this is also self-explanatory. Remember, you don't have to work here......Most of 8 billion people don't work at UPS. They get up every day and carry on. I believe you have to be flexible in many ways to have a long and profitable career at UPS. Get up angry every day and fight the man....will just burn you up inside and I believe kill you in the end. As in die literally the day after you retire....I've seen it personally. To survive until retirement....you can get up nasty and angry and hateful....or find a way to adapt.....being resourceful and finding paths around life's and UPS's roadblocks....will get you through your day. Working at UPS, gave me a better lifestyle than a lot of folks I know. It's kept my family safe and secure. It's let us do many, many things others can only dream about.....has it been a cakewalk? Hardly. Worth it? You bet. [/QUOTE]
