Dan Giesing’s love was in agriculture. He always wanted to be a farmer but his work lead him to San Diego and a Boy’s Home. He was a house councilor and also responsible for the farm livestock and other agricultural activities on the premises. Later on, he became a farm inspector.
Dan liked working with people and felt success because you can see, quickly, your accomplishments. Besides, working with farmers are the best people to know.
One day he had a chance to work on the farm directly. After taking a job placement test, he was told that his current job was the best fit for him. Turning down the farm job was a tough decision because he came from a long family line of farmers and always pictured himself as a farmer someday.
Making good decisions many times comes only after going through a lot of life experiences and Dan had accumulated much. The golden nugget taken from Dan’s story can be distilled down to this; “Don’t try to be something you’re not. Honest with yourself produces the best results.
