Thank for properly quoting the movie. As you can see in my post, I did not do so well in recalling it by memory. I think the movie was great because it had such a profound effect on my current thoughts. The movie spoke to me.

If I had to do it over, there is no way I would have taken that 4.25hr job. In fact, if memory serves me right, the hourly wage was less than that amount (circa 1992 -what was minimum wage at that time?). If I did it over, I would have taken every ounce of effort I had to make it self made, to prosper in my dreams. Sad I gave it up so easily for what seemed in my youth… To be the answer to many issues. Live those dreams! Time truly is short. Thank you for the mention.
