<p>“That being said, how would you feel if you were my parent or if your son or daughter had my attitude?..”</p>
<p>Well, you asked…</p>
<p>Chances are, if you were my son or daughter, you wouldn’t have that attitude. Basically, what you’re describing is a slacker. And I would have kicked your tail long ago, probably at the age of 7 or 8, and let you know that it’s not acceptable to be a slacker.</p>
<p>Yea, you would have tested me about then, if not earlier, but you would have gotten the same reaction from me and my wife. Sometimes she can be tougher than me on slackers. </p>
<p>Your post seems pretty self-indulgent as well.</p>
<p>I’m not telling you this stuff to put you down. On the contrary. You need to hear it. </p>
<p>From the sound of it, you take everything for granted and don’t realize how many folks out there would kill to have your brains and opportunity. Even if you don’t think you owe it to yourself to get up off your butt and contribute to society, you owe it to all those who will never be in the position you are in. So get after it.</p>
