There were at least a dozen people working there who could have done the same thing. They just chose not to, didn't want to, whatever. They had the aptitude, but just didn't. I don't know why.

Nice story. In case you hadn't noticed, few people care.

As for those who didn't follow in your golden footsteps; It's because most people are happy to keep the bills paid, their kids fed and a roof over their heads. No, this doesn't mean they're "losers" or too lazy to "improve themselves", they just have no desire to be the big man in charge. Or maybe some of them are just not cut out for it? Or maybe they just don't want any more responsibility than it takes to load a truck? I don't know and I don't believe it really matters anyways. At any rate, they still have to eat.
