I know some people who have never truly embraced this philosophy. They still blame outside forces for their failures to achieve and their failures to even try. Most of their energy is spent on rationalizing their failings instead of reentering the fray and crying, "Once more unto the breach!"

So so true !!! I'm a perfect example of it - I made a choice to make a better life- at the time I had no idea how or what. I'm now married and live in a formerly communist controlled country. A more or less home steader. I made a choice to make a better life . And the bonus was I got to make a better life for my new family also !!!

John has been my partner for Lower Columbia College Diesel Program for a couple weeks now. He is a straight outgoing guy and he is funny. He recommended me this video to let me know more about him and I would of never realized what john has been through if I have never watched. I will be his partner till December and we are off to a great start and will be a great team together. Being around him and watching this video shows me that he has the potential to do anything.

Trucker Daddy - AKA John in Québec I don’t know how things are in Canada, I can only speak to the trucking industry in the US that has been my experience. Trucking not something I would advise someone to do without a laundry list of caveats and warnings. The predatory nature of some companies with debt inducing leasing programs, the fickle nature of dispatched miles, the adversary nature of shippers and receivers have against drivers, the lack of available services for drivers on the road and so on. There is a lot more to being a successful truck driver than getting behind the wheel and putting the hammer down. It takes planning, knowledge, patience, and a thick skin. Everything is working against you, there is no quarter, day in and day out you have to be on your game. Having said that, I’ve made a good living and own a very nice home because of it. But it took years of struggle and near death experiences. Literally.

im 62 years old and just retired from the fire sprinkler trade. one day i stopped worrying about all the problems and focused on how to fix them. Attitude is the key. I was second generation sprinkler fitter, and at the time, the last thing i wanted to do was follow in my fathers footsteps. after all the low paying jobs got old, i decided to give it a chance, not thinking it would be for me. Its not what i would really want as a dream job, but in my case knowing my work would save lives made it worth it. Im not where id really like to be money wise, but im pretty happy and accept my past decisions both good and bad. Its all about positive thinking, accepting your decisions as yours, and try to change things you dont like.

Thanks for doing this program Mike. John proves the truth: when the fix is the guy's idea, the chances of success improve exponentially. When the fix is forced onto the guy by others, recidivism flourishes. Great thing is, others like him are noticing. Let's hope his example trends.

Where I work my shift partner was fired in January because he couldn't understand that he shouldn't wear his clothes that smell like pot to work. (It's not legal here) I would welcome anyone who is willing to show up to work every day they are supposed to and put in an effort to at least make it look like they are doing the job. Why can't people seem to understand that you have to at least give management plausible deniability. People can't give you the benefit of the doubt if you leave no doubt.

Second chances can happen, John, but they happen because people like you see that you need the chance, ask for it, and take the opportunity when it presents. I personally wish you the best - let your passion for work and achievement drive you every day. Get a cell phone and start a KZbin channel describing your life, your goals, and how you are accomplishing the challenges you face - I'll subscribe and keep encouraging you along with thousands of others that want nothing but the best for and from you! Also - what empty person is voting a video like this down? Shame on y'all.
