Generation Y likes to pay for things, but not their dues

A nice little article in The Art of Manliness talks about the younger generation and its desire for instant gratification. I like to call Gen Y "Generation Entitlement" for obvious reasons. While the article talks about the value of hard work to attain one's goals, it's also important to be realistic. I don't mean that one shouldn't aim for the stars, but that being realistic sometimes involves the sad realization that there may be a chance that you can't always get what you want. Look at the upside, though. Along the way and even in the end, even if you aren't a rock star or the CEO of some major corporation, you will have learned so much and likely be better off than when you started.
