RE: Motivation
NR,

You are to be applauded for your efforts and I appreciate being mentioned with those guys.

I'm with you in principle but I look at it a different way. I'm willing to share what I know and will go out of my way to do so. However I am not concerned that people don't listen. You can only do so much. I look at it as i will do what I can for anyone who is prepared to listen. I also try and simplify it to stop people getting concerned about what needs to be done.

I look at it as if I am a teacher. I'm talking but you can't make sure they learn. So don't get disheartened. Talk to who is willing to learn. If they don't then move on to the next, the more that learn the better and don't waste your time on those that don't. It's a hard world and they could find out the hard way.

You can then feel comfortable that you did what you could. That is how I feel. You can't do any more than you are doing.

I can also understand it from the other side as well. It is an immense task and can be disheartening to them starting now. We need to make it sound easier as even those that only prepare a little though are better prepared than most so even then your efforts are not wasted.

I asked a school teacher a long time ago how he felt about the failures coming out of school. He said he doesn't worry about them. He taught everyone the same, some listened, some didn't. Some even asked for extra help which he did and he was pleased about those that did well and sorry for those that didn't and had worked at it. The others he dismissed. Some people are not interested in learning and he had tried with everyone. That is my view as well.

You have done your bit. You can't be faulted because someone doesn't listen and balances the risks differently. After all they may be right. No one knows yet.
