However, I took my newly minted driver's license to apply for a job driving an ice cream truck in San Diego. I got it, and had the best summer of my teens going into neighborhoods the guys thought were "too dangerous" (translation: black and Mexican) and outselling them 2 to 1 most days. I learned a lot from that experience: break new territory, give everybody good service and you'll be rewarded, be self-sufficient (I had to be, particularly when the clutch on the old International Harvester tranny acted up, and the one time I was robbed). I, too, learned to love work young. There's nothing like doing something, and having someone find value in it and rewarding you for that value. Happy Labor Day!

I got it when I was a student but I haven't read it in years. That poem reads a lot differently now that I've been working. Thanks for sharing it :) I have The Prophet sitting on my shelf.

If everyone would just take 15 minutes every Labor Day to consider what "labor" would bring the greatest joy, the world would be a much better place. Cheers to that!
