As Sammy Hagar Once Said…
Posted by Chip
Do you have a son or daughter on the verge of puberty? I do. It's not all that fun.
There is nothing I despise more that those who think that their life is one constant entitlement. Sure, I'd love to be waited upon all the time - but that's not how the world works. I was talking to my wife about it this morning and I had this minor epiphany - "you have to give to get."
I believe that the universe owes us absolutely nothing. However, the universe will reward us when we give. It's a pretty simple concept, but why is it so darn hard? My guess is that society has become just too lazy.
BTW, the Sammy Hagar reference is about a song called "Give to Live". Check it out, the acoustic version he did on the Van Halen Live album is great.
I Love Simple Solutions to Complex Problems

I heard about this on the radio the other day. It's the Nothing But Nets campaign that's being spearheaded by Rick Reily, the fabulous and hilarious sports columnist for Sports Illustrated.
How many times do you get the chance to save a live with a $10 spot? Give something back.
