But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don’t have the abilities that motorheads have.

My son ,with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts(零件） from a junkyard, nontoasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbours and coworkers trust their car repair to him.

D When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier. These are the findings of a 40year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston.
