AMEN THAT! At last someone with the guts to tell it like it is!

And here I thought all this time that I was the chit.  Good video, Allen-thanks! BTW, liked the part about "selflessness being the best thing you can do for yourself".

Re: OP - I have always known I am not special, other than maybe in the sense of little yellow school bus special... It drives me 'roud dthe bend seeing so many younger folks trying to keep the umbilical cord attached in hopes of putting off taking care of their own lives, YET a Pfukking, raging sense of entitlement many feel makes me want to puke.
A young 'un said recently, when you win the lottery you can just make my truck a red Tundra... I said, "eert, you lose. If you ask you don't get". Gifts are given not solicited and I owe you not a damn thing. You've got 2 lives, one you are given and other you make ( I 'jacked the words from on of my favorite songs, but they ring pure truth).
Be safe and DO NOT BE AN ENABLER, nor a doormat for mediocrity to wipe it's nasty azz feet upon.

Pugs--Thanks for posting that--Brilliant!
The only thing that can make an individual special is what he does with his life. Go make exceptional lives for yourselves.

This is a great speech !!
