Our minds aren't really that special as engineers, we were typically shown a path to engineering from our parents or environment that lead us here. It was a real privilege to receive that pathway. That isn't so say there wasn't hard work, but the path provided ample motivation. Not so for many of our contemporaries who have the same very capable bundles of neurons in their brains but no pathway to elicit motivation to do the things we do.

There are dozens of homeless people who live in encampments right outside my window. I hate this place sometimes.

It's pretty humbling to be constantly reminded of how lucky your circumstances really are. I bet there's a couple of those homeless people who could have been in your very shoes had a coin flipped differently.
