We have all heard lately about Joe Biden wanting to “help” pay off student debt to the tune of anywhere from $10,000 – $50,000 per student. It is a blatant attempt to buy future Democrat votes. This is wrong on so many levels and it is why I am sharing one of Matthew McConaughey’s videos that was produced by MotivationalHub entitled “Why Don’t They Teach This In Every School”. He delivers one of the best motivational speeches you will ever hear.
People have wondered if Matthew McConaughey is a Republican or Democrat. Just the fact that he avoids answering the question outright but gives an intellectual viewpoint that encompasses all but shuns none, it is safe to say: He definitely leans towards the Right.
He speaks of life and the problem with entitlement.
“Life is not easy. It is not. Don’t try to make it that way. Life is not fair. It never was. It isn’t now and it won’t ever be… Don’t fall into the entitlement trap of feeling like you are a victim. You are not. Get over it. Get on with it…”
He speaks of responsibility and freedom.
“Taking risks gives a sense of accomplishments. Failure gives motivation to get better. Give your obstacles credit… There is a responsibility to freedom and there is freedom in responsibility and to earn your way there. We remember what we learn rather than what we get for free.”
I am a firm believer that one of the problems in our country today is the idea of self-entitlement. Our children are being taught in school to expect handouts and not to earn what they want in life. By earning what you want in life one learns to respect the process of hard work and the people who helped you along the way.
