"August and Mathilda Andersson were proud of their talented son; now the first in the family had graduated from high school – a key to success. Moreover, young Ruben had received distinguished grades, well above average. They were satisfied and could hardly have wished for more. But young Ruben had completely different and bigger plans. During his time at the grammar school, his self-confidence had grown. The grades were too good to just be wasted on employment somewhere, he thought. He had decided on pursuing higher education."

"However, it wasn’t long before he began to question his work assignments. He was definitely meant for bigger tasks, he believed, and should not waste his time on such things that other, more unimaginative people could do. Ruben Andersson had high expectations for life and he was in a hurry."
