Commonsense, you are absolutely right. We have raised a generation of kids to believe that they are entitled to everything without having to put forth an effort to earn it. It's easier to blame someone else for one's own short comings. We all have the choice to work to achieve success. If we aren't willing to do the work, we have nobody to blame but ourselves. Life is about choices. When we make good choices, good things follow. When we make bad choices, bad things follow. That is true regardless of who you are.
