In the newspaper clipping it talks about how kids should learn how to work and stop dreaming. I don't disagree with this completely, i believe that it is good for youth to learn how to work for things but they need those dreams to inspire them and give them motivation. I know everybody has either dreamed about being a rock star or a cowboy when they were little, maybe those were not practical dreams but they still are dreams and something to get the kid inspired. As the child grows older their dreams become a little more practical and slightly easier to achieve, and those dreams are the ones that make you work hard. I know from my own experience that once you get your mind set on something amazing you are going to work so hard until you get it and when you finally do it feels incredible. Giving a kid a book and pencil isn't going to do the same as letting them use their imagination and passion for what they want to achieve in life.

What i took from this is what you really want in life isn't going to come easy, you have to work really hard. Like he said those little jobs helped him become what he is today, you need those little jobs to help build you and give a work effort. Look at every opportunity as it your last one, no matter the size or pay work your hardest at it because you dont know who you could leave an impression on for later in life. Also i agree with the whole "knowledge is sexy" statement, without knowledge you wont get very far in life. Im not just talking about school im talking about knowledge of everything, for example knowing whats right from wrong and always doing the right thing. Sure you may mess up but hey you live and you learn and you grow from your mistakes in life. Nobody gets it right from day one.
