Silver Plate

            Okay so what I don't understand is how people expect things to happen in their life without them putting in any kind of work. You can't expect to have everything handed to you on a silver plate. When everything is handed to you this way you don't appreciate anything that you have. Then when you do lose what is given to you quite a few people would blame the person that did the taking. When something has been taken from you that you didn't remotely work for or even earn you can only blame yourself. Nothing in life is worth having if you don't work for it.
            You can't expect to truly get anywhere in life if you don't work hard. You can't truly get a good paying job if you don't put the time and effort in it to learn the career you wish to go in. If you feel what is holding you back is a college degree there is always a way to get one. Their are scholarships of all kinds out there and even community colleges that aren't as expensive as a traditional college. You've got to start somewhere and if that place is at a community college then so be it. At least you can say that you are working to make your life better. When you're done with community college that degree could potential making you enough money so you can afford to go to a traditional college. There is even financial aid or even grants that you can get. You can't expect to just sit on the coach every day drinking a beer and think you'll just magically get that dream job you've always wanted. Even those that have successful at home businesses (Mary Kay, Avon or even Team BeachBody) have had to work to earn the money that they make. 
            Even those that are in committed relationships that think "oh we're perfect together because we don't fight" that is not always the cause. Even the most perfect couple butt heads every once in awhile. You've got to work at a relationship. You can't expect you're relationship with your significant other to last through the long haul if you two don't actually work on your relationship. Problems are bound to come up in your relationship and it's all about how you two work together to fix that problem. You've got to work on communicating with each other and letting each know when they're doing something that bothers you. Never let things just build up till either of you explode. It's unhealthy to do that and it could just make things worse than they actually are. When you actually put the work in to your relationship you'll have a long and happy time together for as long as you're together.
            I hate when I come across those parents that have worked for everything they have and think it's okay to hand their children everything. It's nice to try and give your children a better life than what you had growing up. Just don't hand them everything to the point where they think they don't have to work for anything because mommy and daddy will give it too them. All the things that I had to save my money to buy growing up I took extremely care of knowing very well that I would have to replace it if it was damaged. When one of those kids/teenagers that get handed everything breaks say an IPod they begged for they usually just go "oh well my parents will just buy me a new one". Try actually teaching you're children how to work for what they have so when they become adults they don't know how to handle the real world. The real world won't care that mommy and daddy handed them everything on a silver plate. The real world will only care if they know how to do what needs to be done. How can someone appreciate all that life can offer if they were never taught how to work for it?
            Long story short if you don't even bother to work to better your life how can you expect it to get better? How can you appreciate anything in your life if you've never had to work for anything you have? The only way to truly get what you want in life is to work for it.
