At the age of five, I was tall for my age.
They used to ask me, what I would like to do. I said, I wanted to be a doctor. They thought, I was tall enough to be at school, so they asked me if I wanted to study. I said, “No,” upon which the old lady told me that in that case, all I could ever become is a janitor. I looked at her and said, “Okay, in that case, I will be a janitor.” It looks like I still am.
got my sense of empathy from my grandfather, who was a gentle and wise GP, and ended up not a janitor but working with "difficult" children. intuition, no training and many, many good experiences. and I was always good friends with the janitors, so many of whom could perform magic :-))
morale of the story: everyone should have the opportunity to do what one's good at.
We're all janitors now...we'll be cleaning up this mess forever...from now on...
