You learn from Failure

As a teacher it breaks my heart that we have raised a generation of kids that think they always deserve an A for just trying. We have a raised a generation of kids that live above their means.
These two beliefs are going to bring the country down.
I no longer can even wrap my mind around the astronomical numbers the government has spent and is proposing to spend to 'bail' everyone out.

Hello, it is time to fail. Start over. Figure out how to fix it, take the lumps while fixing it and climb back to the top. You learn from failure. You do not learn if mom & dad 'bail' you out and we will not learn if the government 'bails' us out. I am sorry, I know it sounds harsh but these companies need to go bankrupt. Americans need to work for a living.

Americans need to live within in their means.

I am saddened by what is happening and I don't believe it is going to get better, only worse. The younger generation cannot accept failure, responsibility or hard work. Wake up, because there is always another country ready to 'jump' in and take the top.

Americans need to look at history. All great Nations have fallen. When you refuse to accept your weakness and not learn from your mistakes, you are ripe for a fall from within.

To the younger generation, please stop your reckless behavior. Stop living pay check to pay check. Actually, stop living beyond your pay checks. Get your education or a training! Learn your trade. Start at the bottom. Quit insisting your are entitled to start at the top!
Don't be afraid to fail. Go out and try, fail and learn from your failure. Stop hiding behind mom & dad and the government.
I apologize for our overzealous parenting. It is time to toughen up. It is time to save this country ourselves!
