Facts of Life:
- You're not guaranteed anything in this life that does include: a good job, a cell phone, internet access, a good education, making lots of money.
- A driver's licence is a privilege and not a right much like a cell phone both can be taken away without so much as a second thought.
- Some skills are meant to be taught and passed down and not learned. Independence is good, but dependence is needed sometimes to really learn something.
- Hard work isn't a bad thing
Now don't get me wrong it is difficult to pinpoint which generation is exactly the entitlement generation, but what I do know is at least one person would say "Stop acting like your 40 cause your not." They'd be right I'm not 40 and I am actually in my early 20's, but I was raised that credit is given and respect is earned. Then I look around I wonder where is the respect, where is the hard working people this country used to be known for, and where is the idea that instant gratification isn't everything.
In my other writings I love going back in time, because I love to talk about history and this time is no different. Let's go back in time to the 80's or 90's did kids then act even way similar to the way kids act now. No, why because kids then knew what Respect meant and knew that Working Hard to get something wasn't a bad thing, but was a right of passage. As time passed somewhere along the line everything changed and now the idea of Respect and Working Hard to earn things seem to be terrible phrases to utter. Well I hate to break it to you they aren't and everything in life requires HARD WORK as nobody said life would be easy. Now it's time for a wake up call!!!
Note:
I'll go as far with this as you the reader wants me to as I have a lot of ammo and no other filter to get it out. So the amount of parts to this "series" and I use that term very loss is totally up to you.
