Which horse will run faster, the one with the carrot dangling in front of him or the one that won't leave the barn because you feed him so many carrots he doesn't even want to get up?
Tough love is what's needed for many of these people. If you give them no reason to try, they won't try.
And then there's the horse who never gets a decent bite of the carrot and falls down dead from exhaustion. But by God, that horse had self-respect!
I don't know about you but I would work 3 jobs and pick up dog shit for a penny a pile before I ever took a handout
it's called pride
get some
First, that reminds me of when I had a dog, and I would think, "if I had a nickel for every shit I picked up......"
Second, I did the math, and over two years, I would have 73 dollars. So would you really do that for a penny a pile? Or would you be that proverbial dead horse?
you forgot the part where I said work 3 jobs AND pick up dog shit for a penny a pile
So the dog shit job would be the first to go?
Would you also forgo sleep? Would you literally kill yourself ith work to survive?
Great. Have at it.
People don't need as much sleep as they think they do.
My 4 years as an undergrad I worked full time nights 11-7 while taking 18 credits on days I didn't have class I cleaned 4 houses a day on weekends I waited tables and in the summer I worked even more
I got 4 hours sleep a day for years on end and still graduated with a 3.9
So you see your sob stories don't really resonate with me.
