GORDON GREEN With 1983 promising to be as lean and grim as the year just survived, big business and Ottawa still insist upon labelling the state..of our economy as a recession. But to the growing army .of this nation's jobless that is sureay too polite a term. For the jobless at least, it is a de- pression - a depression as hopeless as that of the dirty thirties. And it seems to me that for those of our young people who have yet to land that first real job in spite of their endless searching, the more permanent tragedy may be the loss of self assurance - the conviction that he or she just can't be good enough. The lack of self assurance has of course, always been a serious flaw even for those of us who have been fortunate enough to find and hold a good job. A friend of mine who has been a successful high school teacher for the last five years is suffering the wrath of his wife these days because he didn't apply for a certain position in his school's administration a couple of months ago. "I just didn't think I was a big enough man to handle a responsibility like that!" he told me. "Of course my wife couldn't see it that way be- cause she didn't really know what the position de- manded ! " Well the position has been filled and I'm willing to bet that my friend's wife is little short of impossible now be- cause the man who got it isn't nearly as well qualified. Hasn't a thing that my friend doesn't have, if I'm any judge, except assurance. Oh he has that all right! He has so much of it that some of his critics give it an entirely different name. They call it conceit. I heard one of them say "Why if the position of God was open, he'd apply for it." Come to think of it serious- ly, where, do you draw the line between assurance and, conceit? How humble can one afford to be these days and still be fair to himself and his family? For the discouraged youth of 1983 that is a serious question indeed. Back in our Sunday School days we were taught that the meek will inherit the earth, but if that was divine pro- phecy it is certainly one which has yet to be fulfilled. Say what you will of the free enterprise system's wonder- ful possibilities, but the meek in it are simply the people that nobody knows. On the other hand, who can stand a braggart? A long, long time ago when I was very young and very, very smart I could never quite figure out how you were supposed to let the world learn of your smart- ness unless you did a little bragging about it{ I was just beginning my fir t editorial stint in those days. That was with the dear old Family Herald - God rest her lovely soul - and the Editor -in - Chief was the late It. S. Ken- nedy, a man who was almost as smart as I was and who wasn't nearly so modest about it. And one day he gave me a bit of advice I never forgot. "Look here lad," he said, "never be ashamed to let people know that you're good. You don't have to pro- test the fact too loudly, mind you. But giving yourself a proper assessment is only being honest - being honest with yourself and with others too. Besides," and I remem- ber he said this with a twinkle of that one eye the Army had let him keep from World War 1 "besides, there are a lot of possibilities in the fact that until people know you better, they are generally quite willing to take you at your own valua- tion... "And if you should over- estimate yourself - if you should bit off more than you can chew, you, will probably just chew like hell, and when you find yourself in a predicament like that, the possibilities are positively limitless!"
