The rest of the novel Growing A Farmer has showed me the value of our American farming system in our world today. They work so hard and yet there are so many factors that need to be considered while doing their job. Kurt portrayed the value of being efficient in the book. He has proved time after time that in order to run a successful farm you need to put all your heart and soul into the business. When you truly feel love and passion for what you do, it is only then you will work your heart out to run and improve the business the best way you possible can.
The novel implemented the theme of always improving. The farm, even though runs well from any fruit like raspberries to onions, seems like it can always be improved. This is somewhat of the greed that comes from our corporate world but adjusted into the farm. As well and efficient the farm can run there is always room for improvement just like the greed of money from business owners and politicians.
Timmermeister's story really left an impression on me. As someone who enjoys pushing himself to the limits in every aspect of my life, I admire the determination from Kurt and to keep his harvest going. It made me realize that the sky is the limit and I can go above and beyond in every aspect of my life. Coming from someone who wishes to get into Real Estate, the most important thing is persistence. Being able to have the will power to constantly call brokers and not give up is essential. Even after a good deal goes through, the motivation to keep the business expanding and take more risks is the epitome of successful expansion. I came into this book with an empty mind, and leaving with sheer determination to keep improving myself.
Your article is very interesting. Even though I sometimes use the Sequential mode on my car, still it doesn't provide the same experience as the manual shift. I think manual shift is more interesting to drive :)
