“Hank, why do you think we did not rise as fast the current generation does?” Tom spoke in a pensive mood as he patted his lips gently with the napkin.
“Our biggest mistake was that we let the grass grow under our feet.” Hank had always regretted remaining at the same company for three decades.
“And along with it, the weeds too…”
