A Lazy Generation ?

I have noticed a big shift in work ethics for many people. I think about this a lot because for some reason it bothers me. If i discuss things having to do with "work", or "hard work", with anyone older than forty years old, they make it seem like what we are doing does not come close to what they were doing at our age. It's one of those things were i sit back and say "Are you doing enough right now"? I know that i'm not a lazy person by any means but a lot of people out there are. That's none of my business what so ever & I don't really care what others decide to do with their lives but it's kind of depressing seeing some people do absolutely nothing because they have no motivation. I talk to my grandma on a very frequent basis and she always encourages me by telling me what she has done & It makes me wanna take more on at one time. I've always been a very ambitious person & competitive as well but most teens these days want things handed to them without working for any of it. It's just one of those brain blowers. haha ! The most important part though is, the excuses ! Those make me laugh more than anything, and I understand jobs are hard to come by right now but when I see picky individuals who ONLY want to work here or there... it's like hunny ! you can't be picky ! Everyone has to start somewhere. Most people don't believe me when i tell them that i did anything i could when i was younger to earn some money. ( Wash cars, mow lawns, clean pools and houses, clean/restore high end handbags) I have done it all. I guess where this was leading was that many Americans ( & others as well) need to learn the value of a Dollar. I work my ass off partially doing what i love and part taking shit from people who don't know much more than i do. It's how our world works sometimes but when a dollar means something to you, your work ethic becomes stronger. Do you have a strong work ethic ?? hmmm lol
