  So many have been raised thinking they are the most important person in
the world, the world revolves around them, etc.  They have difficulty with
the real world.

  I would be behind people on campus dressed that way and would think "Pull
up your pants!"
  One time I thought that and the guy in front of me actually did.  I then
thought "I didn't know my thoughts carried that far?"
  One time this guy I knew was dressed that way and I said that to him. 
People stopped and looked (not knowing I knew him) wondering how I could say
something like that.  He just laughed and pulled them up.

  True.

  I attended only one.
  The woman who ran it was very shy and didn't show up.  (She had
everything planned, all we had to do was meet and eat).
  After it was over I wrote how sorry she wasn't there, everyone missed
her, etc. 
  She wrote back she was there, just that no one knew it was her.  
  Then some wag wrote saying he wondered who the woman in the trench coat,
dark glasses and slouch hat sitting in a darkened corner was.

  I think I'll pass.  I prefer real meat in a burger.

work involved.

  Ain't that the truth.
  There's on saying: Success has many parents, but failure is an orphan.
