Grandfather, you are my rock and my compass
Though times change and changes grow with the times
You never falter from the truth
Your guidance still remains a light in the darkness
Your kindness still remains a healing balm in times of deepest need
Your wit remains an artful skill to be admired
As sharp as the keen-edged sword
And ever as fresh as the morning dew
Your knowledge which could fill the sea with its depth
Has never born you up to vanity
The only pride I see in your eyes
Is the kind that makes me proud as well
Proud to have earned your admiration
Proud to have earned your respect
Proud to have earned your trust
Proud to be your grandson
Proud for you to be my hero

One major idea in the memoir "No Gumption" by Russell Baker is that of adaptability. In this excerpt, his mother is convinced that the author's future is that of business, and she pushes him towards trying harder and harder to succeed. Although he tries to do it for a long time, he does not have the talent or the interest necessary to succeed in that area. The mother, however, is adaptable, as she changes her mind in light of new evidence. When the author's teacher praises his work, his mother examines it, and when she agrees, she realizes that maybe her son's skills are better used in a different area. This is exemplified by the line: "Nothing more was said about it immediately, but a new idea had taken life in her mind". This sentence shows that the author's mother can reexamine her assumptions and create new ideas based on new evidence, which is the mark of adaptability.
