Are you a lifelong learner?

What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?
I had a LOT of “hard years-” my childhood and adolescence, my holdover period in the Army, and my 11-month unemployment before working for the City. What got me through? The idea, “something better is on the way for me.”
