I grew up with guys like Gene. Quick to talk shit about people they don’t know. Then best friends with them once they actually meet. Two faced.

To be fair, everyone in the mafia is and was like that. The exception was actual real dudes , the rule was fake. It’s your best friend who takes you into a room and whacks you. That’s the mafia life

I respect anyone who has the guts to look in the mirror and say "how can I change myself deep enough and really be better?". It takes a lot for some people. For me it took many years of study and adapting to my work environments as I went. I got thrashed by the NYC Construction business for so long. I'm ready to succeed and I'm glad my road was a long hard haul. I was forced through even hard academic subjects like basic civil engineering and architecture. The character and skill set I built is entirely my making. I sacrificed a lot to do this. I worked with a Land Surveying crew when I was 20 and my father was a GC in the 1980's. I knew work since a child. I am proud of my 25 years of academic study and my career as a Construction Manager here in NYC. It has been so adventurous. I am so happy I took the road less traveled. I could have pushed myself into law school, but I told my parents I needed more education, that I was not done yet and needed some graduate work. My father disowned me briefly. Sound Italian? 🤣🤣 I switched to Pratt Institute for Construction Management in 2007 after working for a few years. I've been a Construction Superintendent in NYC since. I have tremendous knowledge. I could have messed up a lot when I was young. So I believe everyone worthy gets a second and third chance to make it. We're a tolerant society by creed. My father blew a few times and we had to forgive him. We can forgive a brother or a sister in Christ. So long as they are willing to atone.
