Thanks for sharing. There's a certain "thing" I've found in some people. This thing is an abiding, unquestioning (or nearly so) drive. They are very matter-of-fact and don't appear to spend a lot of time questioning "why me?" or reaffirming to themselves that life is difficult. They just...do. And they keep on doing. Whatever needs to be done. I'm not saying that it's easy for them. But, they seem to naturally possess a certain focus and efficiency about life and their objectives. In so approaching life, I think they tend to manifest more. This may run somewhat along cultural lines, but I've seen it in various people, including my own family members in previous generations. They put their noses to the grindstone through very difficult times and never looked up until they achieved their goals. I sincerely do not recall hearing them complain. Ever. I've often thought that I would do well to be more like them; spending less time in "meta"-mode engaged in a running mental commentary about what I'm doing, and more time just doing.
