When I was growing up I remember many young people interviewed on the platform at assemblies. The ones who really stood out are the talented ones who gave up amazing lives to pioneer.
I remember specifically when I was a boy in the 70s and 80s some who were very good at sport or something. Their teachers begged them to get professional training use their talents to the full. They sat there on the stage so proud that they turned it all down to pioneer and got a cleaning job or similar.
sure this was the case all over the world.
now these ones are approaching later life they wasted their best years as pioneers. They will be a burden on other as they are broke.
They must be wondering what if they used their best years to the full, then took early retirement and then pioneered?
