Message: [QUOTE="RegisteredUconn, post: 2413608, member: 1477"] Bags, thanks for taking a second bite of this apple. The article itself is a good one but you're right about the importance of Geno's work ethic to this program. One thing though. Hard work is one thing when survival is the reward. Hard work is something else entirely when hard work [B]IS[/B] the reward. When I was working for my survival hard work was often drudgery. When I decided to retire (the first time), it felt like I was liberated. Hard work was no longer drudgery. I enjoyed it. Suddenly it was the work I found liberating. I was brought back by my former employer for several projects. I was even re-hired. I did much the same things I had before with many of the same people. The difference was I never experienced drudgery again. Software firms have gone through periods where so many essential personnel are "Microsoft millionaires" that the company has to treat them as if they were volunteers. Work has an entirely different feel to it when you volunteer. I suspect Geno has entered a phase in his life where, in reality, he is a volunteer coach of the Huskies. He doesn't see his job the same way you early/mid career folks do. [/QUOTE]
