What Have We Done?????

Ms. O'Hare!

42 years later and I can still see her face. Much much love and appreciation to that woman.

And I fear that the generations to come will never know that life instilled experience.

The most amazing thing about my first grade teacher is that she had the amazing skill to be able to make you think that everything you did, you did well because it was natural, not because you were special.

Looking back, it is not unusual that so many of us did well in life.

I am embarrassed with how much I achieved in life, when I look at so many others, and how they excelled. I could name names, I won't. They would be quite familiar to some of us old folk, and very easy to look up.

I hate to think about how much the future generations will lose, when human teachers are erased and AI takes over.

I know what you mean. I grew up side by side to some very successful individuals. Hell, even "power couples" from school who went on to be very high achievers. Some are even millionaire's. I grew up with a dude that runs one of the most infamous jui jitsu dojos in Hawaii. 

Like you, I'm embarrassed when I think of comparison, and think, 'weren't you the dude that always ate your crayons? No you're a billionaire, you say?'

And vastly different types of successes.

No lie,  even our damn druggie friends, some of them are doing things that are mind blowing; with honest businesses. A guy I use to get weed for runs one of the biggest fishing equipment companies in the world. 
I won't name names either.
But we can build, create, survive. Gen X$
