I've been around so many people that have everything you can imagine having as a young adult AND more and they still are not satisfied. They get one thing and they want something bigger. They get something bigger and better but want something more exciting and expensive.
I see people struggling for food on their table while these other families are getting their kids brand new cars for their 16th birthdays. It makes me feel so bad and angry to see them working their butts off getting paid minimum wage and getting so little and struggling for everything they do earn, while these spoiled brats are doing nothing and getting so much.
So many people take for granted what they receive in life. They look at what they don't have instead of appreciating what they do have. I wish everyone could walk a mile in somebody else's shoes. Maybe then they would appreciate what they have in life, and quit being so greedy.
I have learned that no matter how much you work for something your not always going to get complimented. I have also learned that working hard DOES pay off and people DO recogize the good effort you are putting in. Not getting recognized and complimented on all the things I do makes me appreciate the little things I do get recognized for a lot more.
Having something that nobody else has may make you "cool" for a moment, but when you don't earn it yourself I see no value what so ever in that "cool" thing. When I see teenagers at work, doing their absolute best makes me respect them that much more. I see them earning what they have, and they deserve everything they EARN.
