“While most of todays jobs do not require great intelligence, they do require greater frustration tolerance, personal discipline, organization, management, and interpersonal skills than were required two decades and more ago.

Some of the strongest people I know grew up taking care of inept, invalid, or psychotic parentsbut they know the parents werent normal, healthy, or whole.”

—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
