The Millennials

INCIDENT:
On "60 Minutes" last Sunday, Morley Safer reported on the new generation of "millennials." These are the people who were born from 1980 until the mid 1990s during a time when people thought it was bad to have kids experience failure and instead championed mediocrity. Well, now they are joining the work force and it is changing the face of corporate America... for bad or for good.

MORAL:
If you have had the pleasure of teaching in recent years you probably have encountered students that feel entitled to better grades despite their performance in class. I never understood why someone would think they deserve a better grade just because they ask for one. What happened to working hard? Is that not valued anymore?

I failed many times in my life. And as difficult as those situations were for me, it inspired me to be better. If there was no incentive to working hard then what's the point? What's the point to a life without failure? You might was well veg out and stop caring. Without failure we don't know when we have actually succeeded.
