Great observation. 👍

Thank you Chyna, for your visit and your observation...
appreciate your take away of the situation at hand... Ely

You're welcome, Friend.  Its truly sadden me that more and more people are looking for that quick fix and not willing to pay the price of sweat and tears to enjoy the fruit of labor that lasts forever. You're right on track with this one.

sweat equity is indeed value earned
and more appreciated by the owner of it.

most astute you are MizT
I feel the same way you do

appreciating what you've earned
is so much sweeter...
than for that... dropped in your lap   hugs, Ely

That's what retirement is all about, sweets...
first we learn to work... then we gotta learn not to...
it's harder than you think...
that ingrained work ethic can be a pain-in-the-arse... Ely

I love this offering, no handouts...an honest days work....

Thanks for stopping by, Tim...and the comment...work...
whatever that may be...  
it being relative, and all...  
the point being to participate in our own life...  
don't let life happen to you  
go live it...Ely

Loved it.  Especially the format and structure.

Thank you very much, Snuggles...
I appreciate your perspective
and thanks so much for dropping in
good to see you...stop by for a nice cuppa... Hugs, Ely

Yep, the 12 hour shifts x 6 days/week economy in China is not nice - and worse in other parts of the world.

Words of wonderful wisdom Ely.
Cheers...Harry
