Exactly! That’s why America is America - the spirit of your grandfather was the same spirit of every immigrant who came here from the Puritans to the immigrants of today whose skin may be a shade darker. They think of a good job as an opportunity but never an entitlement.
The greatest story I ever heard about this kind of spirit was a telemarketer whose job was “outsourced” to India when that was common practice. Did he complain about losing his job? Nope, he started a business printing shirts that said “My job went to India and all I got was this lousy shirt!”. I think he later expanded the business and made enough in a few years to retire. I think that’s the proper uniquely American response to progress.
