It's a whole generation of kids regardless of race who are pulling up lame. Back to the blue collar worker. It's going to be funny to see a generation do better than their parents only to have their kids do worse than them. I guess 1 step forward 2 steps back!FreeManhttp://freemanpress.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560439070709193509.post-36891494447036803992010-01-19T21:37:35.388-06:002010-01-19T21:37:35.388-06:00"These are not measures of a Man as they are ..."These are not measures of a Man as they are the measures of a boy."<br />Yep.<br /><br />But these boys are all that's left to run their world.<br />I can't help everyone but I can help a few.<br />Maybe these few will be able to reach more, and from that group more will be able to help still more.<br /><br /><br />IMOHO - Too many have accepted the culture of failure.<br />The culture of just getting by.<br />But if times get tough, many of these will be culled from the herd.<br />I'm just trying to ensure that many who look like me don't become extinct.uglyblackjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404995571276457138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560439070709193509.post-39580907377753321422010-01-18T23:50:14.684-06:002010-01-18T23:50:14.684-06:00Yes they would but the world is filled with coward...Yes they would but the world is filled with cowards. The entertainment level has been raised so much work gets in the way of life. The education is so lacking that many have accepted their fate in life and are trying to make the best of it. The ones who could go further are pulling up lame as they decide they don't want to be great they'd rather be pretty good.<br /><br />My do for self mentality comes from my belief that many believe this life is guaranteed and most of us know it isn't. While exclusion in the past hurt it also galvanized us because we could see what we had to fight. Now that most people have to conquer themselves they refuse to do so because they can eat and they can get things if they want to. Really most are very satisfied with the option even if they never get it.<br /><br />So we have to remove this option so they see a reason to move forward. Catering and comforting retards a man from realizing his own strength. When you can do for self it translates to any pursuit. Instead we have Men who base their strength on what they can get from a woman or how much liquor they can consume or the designer clothes on their back. These are not the measures of a Man as they are the measures of a boy.<br /><br />I can't really fault most guys because it is much more attractive to be like the crowd. Discipline leads to self responsibility and that is what most people want to drink away. It will definitely be hard to steer this generation that came up under those who lack backbone but I have a feeling they will define it for themselves as I had to do!FreeManhttp://freemanpress.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
