Why do people always use the I can't reason for not doing something? I understand when somebody says I am not skilled enough to do something or it is not safe to do something, but what happened to the American "can do" spirit? when did we, as a whole, become a bunch of cry babies that refuse to do the things than need to be done. We have come a long way from the days of the Revolutionary War, but it seems to me that we have all but forgotten the words of JFK and Lincoln, that we refuse to do what is hard in favor for what is expedient. As somebody who wants to see the best in all of the students I teach, what is the motivating factor to make people do what they think they must do? Is there a way to motivate people to take chances in order to succeed? I think we, as a people, have forgotten the lessons of failure that people like Edison and Franklin claim that are so vital to the survival of the human species. I fear that we are our own worst enemies and that we, as a people and as a nation, are doomed. thoughts? [/rant] |
