Great story.. but look at the big picture:
- Money in what ever form runs the world, and we need to just to survive in our current environment
- Look at the other students whom you taught and showed their appreciate to you
- I am a mentor for many young adults and kids... many times, I worry too much about them and many of them don't even appreciate it. This is just life and how we probably were when we were younger
True to point one. but money drives a system, but doesn't necessarily make it better. Talents and good people do. It's like doing a business whether you're doing it just for the money, or adding value altogether. To me, i choose money AND TO ADD value :) so if I can't produce decent students, I have failed someway or the other @orangila
