Every morning it is the same routine. I wake up, take a big yawn, and head downstairs in the same old uniform. Not a glamorous job at all. Others might think that being a ‘professional IT wizard’ to be the perfect job or career. Scratch brains, stretch and ‘create’ others to follow and stretch their imaginations.
Remarkable man, however, does the same old thing but to him it always appears to be somehow new - each and every single day.
Don't get me wrong as he has his moments like I suppose we all do. He gets frustrated over the little stuff/colleagues. Seems the biggest difference between this young man and others that I have observed is the way he takes life in stride. In a nutshell, he just doesn't let anything or anyone break his stride.
Can I ask you a question?
Don't mean to be nosey or anything, but what uniform do you put on everyday?
Whether a ‘wizard IT’st’ or waiter uniform, I suppose any position can lose its once highly esteemed luster after a bit.

Don't get me wrong because as we all know way too well, no one is perfect and he (such aplies to ‘she’ too) will be the first to admit it. He says, "I'm sorry" with more sincerity than most I've met six times his age.
Sometimes I can't help but think that as soon as this or that change occurs in my life, all will be just a tad bit better. I think that he has learned a powerful lesson and it has to do with perception. The way he has chosen to perceive things, is the way he receives things.
He just hasn't allowed himself to see too many rainy days and Mondays, and the ones he has, clearly haven't ever ruined his morning, afternoon, or evening routine. Those 40 years elder might be creating some chaos around her, but again, it doesn't seem to break his stride. He just keeps on ‘sucking’ nonetheless.
In talking to him recently, he spoke of his plans for the future but even as he did he kept some semblance of his ‘hunk’ going. If reminded of a mistake he made yesterday, he will just give me a demure little smile as though I'm purposefully trying to be a kill-joy. Hmmmmmm.
I hadn't given that much thought until now, but why do I or any of us rehash another past? Good question and this wise person seems to know most of the answers. I guess longevity doesn't always equate to legitimacy.
I hope that he will keep his job as a ‘cranky wizard’ (this generally applies to all or any IT ‘crackpot’ !!!) for many years to come so that I can keep learning simple life lessons from him. But I doubt that he will, if I look at the big picture or project way into the future like I too often tend to do. Nothing I could say or anything any of his other best friends could say could break his stride. He is destined for great things. Even if he some day changes from his professional line to a waiter uniform, I kind of think he will keep his bright attitude, fresh perspective, and unsophisticated purity.

I wish I could take such moments and put them in a jar. I wish I could stop the world from turning and keep things just the way they are. I know that I can't, but I can always wish I could ......
