They were able to learn new skills faster and complete projects quicker than my "normal" employees.<br /><br />At my last employer, I had one guy in his mid-20s who was ADD/ADHD. Once I worked out how to make it possible for him to do his best work, he accomplished more in a week than the other 5 employees combined.The Freeholderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989697995675652792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-3801279852384223932019-11-24T07:28:13.378-05:002019-11-24T07:28:13.378-05:00It used to be people coming to America were expect...It used to be people coming to America were expected to Speak English and conform to the norms of the country...regardless if they were right or wrong. To put America first. IN Early 1900s to 1950, for example, German immigrants came into the US in large numbers. They spoke no English and gathered in large groups. ( True of other groups that immigrated as well..be they Norwegian or Italian, Greek or whatever). Often these areas had enough immigrants that there were even some short term newspapers set up printed in their language. HOWEVER...the theme was MELTING POT! Learn English ! Speak English! America first ! Many even changed their last names to something more " American". I know of cases where Immigrants who learned English teased those who clung to their old ways for not being American enough.<br /> Sadly everything has changed. SOME groups ( esp Most Asians) hurry to learn English etc. However, many ethnic groups maintain their OLD Tribal identities and a few even refuse to learn English. They celebrate their Old traditions and some even try to demand that America conforms to Their tribal traditions and norms. One rather large group that comes to mind has even gone somewhat backwards. ( Though you can argue there is a split in this group). Some move forward and embrace the America tribe. However, some not only revere the Tribes of their ancestors but some actually change their last names from " Americanized " versions to be more like their old Tribe. They dress as their old tribe dresses. They reject the American tribe yet remain a part of it<br /> John Galthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708866657173222842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-21089703540608519292019-11-24T07:14:20.104-05:002019-11-24T07:14:20.104-05:00I think it's clear.

However, if you have too much empathy you risk not even being a tribe any longer. That is what I see. We have open borders in part because we no longer care...we are all " one tribe". It is getting to be VERY hard to identify the Tribal Nation of America other than by Geography. No common ideals or values or goals.John Galthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708866657173222842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-38227170687516764202019-11-23T17:26:59.348-05:002019-11-23T17:26:59.348-05:00Excellent points!
