Isn't working hard, doing jobs you wouldn't like to do but you do anyway because it's a step in the right direction being smart?
If someone said to you that if you shovelled shit for a month, at the end of it you'd have a 50% pay rise and be made a supervisor with a desk job...what would the smart thing be? Shovelling shit now and again doesn't mean you have a lack of morals. And lets be completely fair here, Meat had a lot of shit thrown at him and he's had to shovel a lot of shit just to support his family.
I'm no Loafer by any stretch of the imagination, but I can give credit where credit's due.
