My friend from college just died.
He was 57.
He had an Engineering degree.
He worked REAL HARD to get it.
I know, because I was there.
He was a smart guy.
He could learn anything.
He got a GOOD JOB
With a BIG CORPORATION.
He worked hard
Many hours every day
And it was DIFFICULT WORK.
He bought a big house
and had lots of nice stuff
to fill that house.
And he went back to school
and he learned more things
and he stayed current
and he got a new job
and he worked real hard
and spent many hours.
He never married;
never had any real hobbies
and was frequently lonely in his free time.
He ate too much
He drank too much
He got cancer
and he died.
TOO BAD that he never learned how to live.
TOO BAD that College never taught him how to have a happy life.
TOO BAD he was so honest and he worked so hard for so many hours
WHO CARES NOW?
