My husband asked our son Justin if he wants to work for him, with pay. (My eldest son worked for my husband before and he received wages). However, my second son didn't say yes or no, just didn't say anything, he was just quiet not telling anyone, anybody what he thinks. I think I know Justin better than his Dad. He likes working on computers. He likes computer animation, programming, graphics and 3D designing and moduling. It has something to do with computers. He doesn't like working at restaurant, department stores or those retail outlets. He 's into ARTS. He likes photography and drawings. He had a scholarship for it. Scholarship has its limits.
Children or young adults who have artistic talents are moody and tend to do things their way. They are the masters of their own mind. You probably knew some biographies of talented artists like Van Gogh, Michael Angelo, Rembrandt, Picasso, Amorsolo, Benjamin Chee chee, Leonardo Da Vinci and other famous or not so famous artists/painters they are mostly indulged in their own world. They are not sociable and they are always drawn to their own artistry or their own way of dealing with their work or whatever that keep them busy. No famous painter is having another work to master that's for sure. They are not multitasker.
In fairness, let me reveal a story at one time when my computer was acting up or going haywire and my dear son Justin fixed it. It was the same sort of situation that happened with my computer long time ago and I had a technician looked over it, he tried to fix it for 2 days and the technician told me to just buy a new computer because he can't fix it. Well, same kind of problem when my son saw it and analyzed the problem, he fixed my computer in less than an hour. In less than an hour!!!! I have brothers who are in the same way very technical and mechanical. One younger brother was a television and radio technician and the older brother is an air con technician and he also repairs refrigerators, electric fans and other electronics. My dear father repairs anything from radio, electric fans, stove, fridge, typewriters, anything... he is a soldier (retired). My husband also do some kind of repairs too with his truck and boat, lawnmower, vacuum machine, etcheterra aside from being a manager for townhouses/apartments.
I had problem with the digital wristwatch I bought from Walmart and my son fixed it for me. The other day, his Dad asked help with his printing machine and he fixed it too. I told my husband that maybe our son would rather work at Staples instead of doing carpentry work or house painting. Part of the problem is my son Justin is shy and timid. He is a very handsome son of mine. I'm not saying that because he is my son. He is good looking and he doesn't want to shine. He's not taller than his Dad but look at Tom Cruise he's not that tall, he's probably just 5'5 or ? what could be his height?
Sometimes it's the self-confidence is what is lacking with some people we know about. I don't know where and when my son who is very smart could finally get out of the house and be a part of the workplace and let his talent and ability shines. It's a matter of time. ?
It takes a lot of time to persuade certain persons, to motivate them, give them good advice. It's hard to be a Mother. It's hard to tell kids the truth that children have the moral obligation to be not a burden to their parents and they should find work so that they can be of help to themselves. When you are over 24 years of age, you are not a child anymore and it's time to move on and be a part of the community and it's time to WORK. It can't be all video games and play. Work or occupation is something that you will value your whole life to support yourself.
