Default RE: Bordem? How long for you?

On my way to and from the flying field today, I thought about your post that I read yesterday and decided to respond. It’s hard for me to understand “bored”. The word that keeps coming up in the responses is “Passion”. I think there are at least a couple of things here and neither will be fixed for long by trying new stunts.

First, you may have gotten into radio control for the wrong reasons. Maybe to do something with your brother, or some of your friends are in it, or you just thought it would be cool. If that is the case, do a little introspection to see if there is anything else that resembles a passion in your life then go follow it.

Second, you don’t say your age but you sound as if you may belong to that younger generation that has been entertained from birth. They grew up with TV, movies, computer games, and all manner of complex and wonderful toys. There has always been some new thing to catch their fancy and it was always superseded by the next new thing. With that kind of background it’s not unusual to have a short attention span that is never satisfied with anything for very long. To such a one life itself eventually becomes boring. If that is your case I can only offer you my pity.

I have been many things over the past seventy two years, but “bored” was not one of them.
