The Marines and Jesuits can instill the first two qualities. And hard work is hard.<BR/><BR/>When one is wise, one realizes that life is a paradox. One of the paradoxes of life is that if you want peace, you have to fight for it. The Marines and the U.S. military in general, far from being the speakers of the language of the fist (a superficial conflation of the Marines and violence on your part), in fact have done more for world peace than any pacifists ever have.<BR/><BR/>The marines wouldn't be such a bad thing for Tony. Only problem is, he is a Canadian citizen. The first thing they teach one in the Army is be a part of a team. I don't understand your implying that all Marine-trained people are non-cooperative. Of course, they may be asked to do incredibly stupid things. Hopefully, I don't cooperate either if put in such situations. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I should also add that this Trudeau character whose bio I am reading now was educated in Jesuit schools, and took the lessons he learned towards bad ends. It says nothing bad about the Jesuits and says lots about Trudeau. <BR/><BR/>I know that in trying to raise Tony, I can only try to do my best. Whatever personality and abilities he has, I will have to pray that these qualities are superior and good. But it is a big bad world out there, and the forces are stronger than this parent can ever hope to be.wuxi andishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726482489913497129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460763765741478786.post-86718948487137210132009-04-05T02:24:00.000-07:002009-04-05T02:24:00.000-07:00Have you ever thought of why you want your son to ...Have you ever thought of why you want your son to join yhe marines?<BR/>To go through tough things are certainly maybe hardening them, maybe developing them, but in many cases making them into impossible bastards, impossible to have in any position in a company, or in any situation where cooperations is needed.I have worked long with development of people. Success is not equalling hardness. It's rather equalling wisdom.The language of the fist should be the last thing to use, not the first. Good luck for the future.
