Maybe you've heard of it, maybe you haven't, however, according to Jean Twenge, a psychology professor for the San Diego State University, we are looking at the "Age of Entitlement". Or, to put in simpler words, a time when people believe that everyone gets a trophy, a gold star, a pat on the back, and a raise just for being, well, themselves, even if the effort put forth is barely passing or simply mediocre. One of the best places to look at such trends is within school systems, parent complaints, and kids' sports teams, but we won't delve into that realm for now. Happy hunting on your own.
No, today, instead, is about a different genre - professional sports. Sadly, I will admit I do not know the ongoings of the recent Lebron James fiasco, other than it has to do with him making bad choices and there being backlash. However, what I do love is this VIDEO!!!! that Michael Jordan put out in response to the recent Lebron James scandal. Yes, I said scandal. I don't know if it really is, but the word just makes everything sound more important, urgent, and juicy! Ergo: Scandal.
LOVE this video, however. Michael Jordan really hit home on the concept of perseverance, dedication, commitment, overcoming obstacles, continuing even when things look dismal, and totally shat (lo siento much if that somehow offended anyone) all over Lebron. LOVE IT! Take a look for yourself.
