The military taught me to be judgmental. Most people are OK. Some you can tell are going to be successful. You can just see the drive in them! Others are ambitious. There is a difference. The driven person is going to latch onto something and do their best to succeed. The ambitious person may lack the drive to be successful and they are the ones who will suck up to the boss, take credit for others work and such. So they are hit and miss. Still others are going to be OK, easy to see they have standards but are neither driven or ambitious. Earn enough to be happy and that's it. Others are there because they have to have an income. Some are too lazy to do anything like hold a job and some are just criminals.
The fact that the young man in question was going to join the military and apply for OCS should have told you he had ambition. Achieving it proves he was driven to succeed. One of our super achievers in my class is driving a truck. Another is a school teacher. Another a construction worker. Retired cop in there. Small school. Only 33 young men graduated that year. I was the only one who made a career of the military. Of the ones who were going to stay on the farm all failed during the 80's. One I know for sure is a drunk. Some that did OK were from the wrong side of the tracks too. Some who were from the right side of those tracks are now on the other side.
Basically attitude, not aptitude determines altitude!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
