I spent a lot of my youthful and young adult years skating through life. For those of you who don’t know what that means, skating through life is a euphemism for doing the easy stuff which takes little effort while seeking to avoid the harder road with greater rewards. I don’t know if it came from my upbringing hanging around with members of the sixties generation or not. Whatever the reason I am here to tell you life is hard and takes work. If you want to succeed get to the task of working do not try to skate by because before you know it the years are gone and you’re not where you like to be in life.
