72 - The Legacy of Success

"Hello SANDMAN, I enjoy your videos and would like for you to cover a topic. I'm naming it "the legacy of success." First a little bit about my background. I'm an electronics technician and work for a large company. I've been working there for several years and would say that 98% of the people that do my job are men. Of the 2% that are women they are mostly Asian females that have relatives who started work at the company before them. It is extremely rare to have females doing the type of work that I do. That is to say I think that they have the capability but not the interest. My entire time at the company I have seen about maybe four females that completely defeat certain stereotypes and demographics when it comes to what they do, and even then there are "special" things about them. a rare event occurred in the lab; a new worker arrived and SHE was a blond haired blue eyed large breasted female. although she was starting out as a tech she in fact had just graduated from school (after 5 years) as an engineer. It was like watching a unicorn run past me. In the months that i got to know her i found out that her dad was an engineer and that he primarily raised her. I honestly wanted to know what her life would have been like if she had been raised by a single mom in the U.S. would she still have chosen to become an engineer? One of our highly accomplished laser technicians is a black female and I would consider this to be extremely rare. But one of the reasons why she is different from the average female, especially black females is that she is actually African, not African-american. her mindset is quite different from black females in the united states. she is more geared towards success. She has also encouraged her three kids (by the same man that she divorced) to go to college and to seek higher education. In effect she created a legacy and I'm not talking about just having kids. SHE GUIDES HER KIDS TOWARDS A

PRODUCTIVE FUTURE. about a month ago i read an internet story about this half Filipino girl that invented a flashlight that is powered by the heat of the human hand (via the use of something called a peltier junction). As a tech myself i knew exactly how the thing worked but i never would have came up with the idea. Sheer genius. if you look closer into her family you will see that her dad is an engineer. now where do you think these ideas came from? or

at least the seed of curiosity with science? It seems that the average female does not guide or groom their children for success; this guidance and drive I think comes from a man usually. Men pass on their knowledge and skills to their sons, in the absence of a son it may be the daughter that receives this. There is no way for me to prove my theory but here it is...
