Passion. 08/25/10

Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate. -
Jon Bon Jovi.

I've noticed a lack of passion in my own generation. There's no drive, no ambition, to do anything more than themselves. It seems that many kids just want to 'lay like veggies' all day, something I  personally can hardly stand. There's no drive to excel in school, to obtain a job, or gain anything of any worth. Where did the ambition to go out and change things go?
I believe it's due to the lack of appreciation. Many people are just handed things in they're life now, and the idea of having to work for something is simply terrifying. So many kids may age complain and whine about how much they dislike the government/schools/justice system, but none of them want to do anything to change it. They'd rather sit around, whine a bit, then smoke marijuana. 

Some many of these kids say they want to do so much, but are taking no action. They have no real drive to accomplish things on their own. We're all guilty of procrastinating or slacking off a bit, but to not do anything, not even try, is just absurd. I am apart of a generation that has things just handed to them. Now that our country has slipped into a recession it's harder to obtain a job, or to keep it, so things we need seem harder and harder to get. 

I personally think that the next few years will define the nation, and where it will head, but that's for another blog and another soapbox (:
