Cold War Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) What’s to discuss? 100% spot on. we have a bullshit problem in this country. Some think lazy little kiddies posting memes have it all figured out. Edited January 20, 2022 by Cold War Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far the main factors Not always true . I know a lot of guys my age who did not want the life they had growing up and worked and hustled to a point obsession to be dam sure thete kids did not ever have to know that life . Some of the most successful people were raised dirt poor with little supervision. Now that is not the norm but when talking to a self made person the story will often be that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids that have a silver platter don't do shit and ones who had nothing regularly do the opposite. The mediocre stay mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag6240 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I've told this before - my son was following a Twitter handle about 4-5 years ago "ProudSocialist" and started whining to me about how Jeff Bezos shouldn't be allowed to have all that money, it should be shared and blah blah blah. I told him after a few of his bullshit meme's he sent me, that nobody, NOBODY on that phone is going to give you one red cent! You need to get up and get out there and go do it for yourself! You have every opportunity anyone else did (To a point of course) to go make something for yourself, take care of yourself, and work hard for the things you want. 4-5 years later, he's paid off all his college loans he started with, took some specialized training, and got into a great position working hard and making money and is all on his own in that short period of time. Bought and paid cash for the car he is driving ($16k), and even has the "go for it" attitude to do his own maintenance and upgrades he wants to it. He's 24 now, and I couldn't be more proud of how he has turned his thinking around and grabbed the bull by the horns for himself in just a few years. Get out there and do something, don't expect anyone to give you shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomxz600 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 It's a problem with the every kid gets a ribbon generation. In order for some to succeed others have to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t mean there isn’t exceptions It is the exception in people raised in a shitty situations but also the norm among the extremely successful people. I will give you that kids are better of raised in 2 parent households .but again the norm among the extremely successful is not that scenario. That scenario dose not really light the fire that can not be extinguished that pushes some to greatness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
