Sorry if this was not clear to any of you.

The new generation is from teen parents still acting like kids ect-
My parents are old fashioned and I do admit they spoiled me because I was one of the youngest but for that I do anything for them - my parents have my utmost respect.
When I was a kid there was a thing called discipline do something bad you either get the shouting at, belt or my personal favorite the wooden spoon.
Just because some parents beat or shout at their kids, doesn't mean that these kids will be more polite or better than others. Beating kids is not showing discipline. My grandfather never beat or shout at my mom or me. Does this mean he is bad at discipline?

What really angers me is when I'm on a bus and I see a frail old woman standing and some teenager/kid sitting down right in front of them -for me when I see someone older than me or even a woman I give up my seat for them- but this generation...
Again "this generation" same things happen with older people, I see way more people of older age who behave like that. Does it meant that their generation is fucked up too? No, It's just some individuals who act like that.
is just wanting a uppercut in the jaw or a good beating just to get some sort of sense into them, I go by the statement respect your elders.

I blame the internet and
the role-models of today
Justin Bieber: A little scumbag with no moral sense.
Nicki Minaj: Doesn't know how to dress properly - want to have an example look at her Halloween costume
Miley Cyrus: Just one of the biggest attention whores out there.
Role models? Lol, If those people are role models of someone who you know, then I am sorry for them. If not, then I don't know where you get that info from.

freaking yes.
Went to hand out presents yesterday to the needy in a poor town with some other volunteers. I was handing out bikes and I have not received any thank you from a good 3/4 of both the kids and parents. Thanks very much for bringing it up

The golden rule while being so helpful and kind - Don't expect a gratitude.


Let me bring up one example:

I receive an order, time limit of completion "ASAP", ie. "Yesterday". We call each other to get along, it turns out that the work will be very big and no one else will do it, just me. I sit down to the computer and start with a "smoke" - it's my job. But i think everytime - why always me, why always in a hurry - but in the end it's still my job so i don't lose motivation and continue working. In the end, time passes, i finish the job, hone the details with German precision and then another thought runs through my head: "Don't hone it so much, because no one would notice it and certainly no one will thank you." But whatever, i still have some time so i'll do the best i can. I finished and i'm satisfied. I know i did a good job, regardless of whether someone will appreciate it.

On the one hand, you can expect that someone at the beggining should say, that he will be very grateful, or that it's really important for further development of the company, so we can expect some reward. But then the work would look completely diferent. It would be done only "for the carrot" and not because to do it well. Satisfaction wouldn't be the same. Motivating factor would be completely different.

Now i know that we shouldn't expect gratitude. While it's worth thanking others, we shouldn't come up with claims when doing good (even doing our job honestly). When we do it selflessly, good returns to us and enriches, although not always in the material form and not always immedietaly. When we always expect some payment for our goodness, we are not going to feel better or richer.

Then, when i finished that order, i was tired, but happy and i started a new weekend with satisfcation. When i returned on Monday, i saw already a new message on my gmail account, a satisfied customer with gratitude: "Erwin you're awesome!". It tasted even better than i had expected, because "i did what i should do".

I laid one of them out with a swift armlock. (I call it the C lock. I went to try and solve is passively however when his bud came to shake my hand I snatched his hand and I went under him, and made his arm into a C, I then twisted his hand (right hand) counterclockwise by pressing on his pinky like a gas pedal. It hurts.) Anyways I threw him on the ground and pinned him with my weight suspending him as if I were about to handcuff him, whilst his loving friend ditches him in the dust around the corner. I tell the lady to go get help but by the time I let the *** go she had just gotten up.
