Spoiled kids are more successful and live longer.Feb 06 '00 Write an essay on this topic.Now I'm not talking about in the sense of years, I'm talking about life time. Do you consider putting together burgers for 3 hours- living 3 hours? What about the same 3 hours spent in witty conversation, or reading a book. Well thats the difference between spoiled and cut off. It's the reason why spoiled kids work smarter not harder. A 20 year old who has worked 40 hours a week since he was 16 is younger than the 20 year old who engaged in creative activities and hobbies, perhaps even studying. You might be saying "well what about work experience, isn't that life." Well it would be if the 16 year old worked as a Sony VP, but he doesn't he's flipping burgers, and he has to keep his mind occupied with flipping those burgers or he's burned his hand. All those spoiled kids? Where are they? Sitting in executive offices on their lazy asses 'cause their used to gettin what they want and know the people to get it for them. Ever read interviews of famous peoples' mothers, a key ingredient is always "i gave him everything he wanted" always!!! Lets take my case, am I spoiled, no. I don't have a car, so I can't get a job. So I can't afford a car....get it! I am of course trying to get a job within walking distance but the variety isn't overwhelming and I haven't yet been called back...but oh certainly I read wanted adds in the newspaper everyday for positions I could fill yet cannot reach. My mother has baught my sister 2 cars, my sister is now doing AIDs research in Uganda. I live in a ghetto apartment out of walking distance from my college (its cheaper than the dorms), so I must rely on other people or the bus to get to school. Twice no one was available to take me to school, I resorted to the bus. This is LA, I took 3 buses, and with the help of so many bus drivers, almost got the whole 5 miles to school...in the opposite direction that is. So I missed 2 days because I am not "rewarded" with help from the government or parents. I have 2 pieces of furniture in my room, both supplied by money from epinions... Not having to work, gives one more time to think, grow, become more sophisticated, learn social skills. I have a friend who is quite well off, he doesnt have to work and his parents have supplied him with quite a bit of invested money. With all his free time he wrote a MUD (an online computer game), he then got all his clients to sign up under alladvantage under him, thats over a thousand referrals...needless to say he's already making good on his parents' investment. The real truth IS the more money you pump into your child, the richer he will be --think of it as an investment in a human, like you would invest in a company. Why do rich kids end up rich? If you still think that rich kids all build a new family fortune from the ground up every generation then you probably also think its actually a pain in the ass to be a beautiful women.  |
