Whatever you do , do it and do it well

 My generation of Australians are confused . They aim naturally , like most human and their families ,  to find economic security, but find themselves with two houses and their children with none . 

It's a form of madness ( denial?) to focus on the obvious  yet thats all the wannabes ever seem to do ; that  house prices are unaffordable; that's mere economics and we can fix that if we want to . As Sorell reminds us, its only when we accept there are only tradeoffs and not solutions  on the housing issue , we can find a way through there . Its predictable machinery . 

Not so with good work - envisioning that takes wisdom - and not the trite nonsense that says being a lawyer will bring you home . This is is more of the bread that never satisfies.  

Its a form of denial to get distracted and name call when the problem is in the too hard basket for all the rabbits assembled in parliament .
The problem is not housing but homing and the deeper problem is the lack of community commitment to careers . Even teachers talk carelessly for decades about having  3 jobs is a lifetime as if that is the reality or the  desirable outcome.
The fear ridden rabbits are afraid to even mention the word career  when it's blatantly obvious we need doctors and people to help them manage the huge work load.

Something is still wrong when we now in 2024 are no longer producing credible doctors of the environment credible doctors of the environment .
When instead of offering solutions our leaders are offering fear  fear 


I will finish here for now cause while the need for doctors is my thing , we let our kids fall into a deep pit by NOT talking and finding out worthwhile work and NOT getting them ready for the variety by teaching them how to anticipate it ---- and cope with it when it comes along .

As one who has also  spent decades dealing with poor attitudes to any work by tens of young people in my care, I will leave the next chapter  of my  "Do whatever you do and do it well" talk      because it is the most inspiring one of all.
None of us will be happy with just a house or three, but a job well done CAN really help everyone of us find home.   find home.  


You know even rabbits are adaptable .Why aren't we?
These rabbits don't need a warren. There mobile home is under the cars at our depot  ,They have more exists and entries than an earth warren and no preditor can touch them . provided they dont go deaf and blind they won't get rained on , flooded or dug out, 


Why are so many of us living in the richest country in the world BUT without a home
