Actually man lives in frustration due to his inability to understand women.

The man lives in frustration because he is unable to adapt to the other stuff. Once a man can adapt to the other stuff noting can’t be over taken. Once out of the frustration the man can see there is not limit to his abilities.

Part of the problem is, the older you get the harder it is for you to change and still support the typical burden you have acquired and to maintian the lifestyle to which you have become accustomed.
 
Still ya need to try though!

If you change nothing is a normal burden you have became accustomed too,correct? not changing keeps you where you are at and in the things you are in.
 
if you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep getting what your are getting.

   Up until recently a person didn't have to worry about that burden.  Barring personal problems (health,divorce,laziness,etc.) if you needed more money you just went out and made it. 
    BUT now adays.........................................................................?!?!

There are 9 Electronic Technicians here all currently searching for new work without success in the last 6 months.  Only 2 offers have been fielded in the time and both were for jobs paying $10K+ less cause they were manufuacturing production test technician positions.  Troubleshooting the same thing all day every day.....boring!!!
 
Sorry, my mind wandered....Embarrased

Used to service Biomedical lab equipment under the table for private labs.  That stopped about 4 years ago.  all the labs were in the philly area 2-3 hours away.  Used to be able to make a thousand to fifteen hundred dollars on a weekend!!!  All thue equipment I worked on went obsolete and was replaced unfortunately.

Change is inevitable and like time can't be stopped. We live on a changing planet, the only thing that makes it look the same is time, and the time it takes to change. The only constant in time, is change. With no change comes stagnation, with stagnation comes death, with death comes change.
Bud can't change addresses. Bud can't change jobs. Bud can't change his situation, because Bud won't change. If there is no change, there is no life, if there is no life there is no change.
Why do you ask?
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
