Yes Nikki, a sense of entitlement seems to have no real boundaries. It probably started way back when societies were first being built, so to speak, when the biggest and strongest made all the rules. Nowadays, it’s not always the biggest and strongest, but it seems like some perceive it that way.

I guess that sense of entitlement rings true in all industries; even the one I was in. Once, I moved into the corporate side of the business, I could not believe the nonsense that I heard from entertainers and management.

True, unless you’re a Hilton or a Gates. Even then, and I tell people this all the time, for all the heat she takes, Paris Hilton is one of the hardest working women in the world, and on her own makes between $25 and $50 million a year, without her parents money. Sure, she had a boost to start with, but without some guts, vision, and some hard work, it would have collapsed in a heartbeat. We all have to be ready to take advantage of those opportunities that come our way.

Lets put it this way, no one will hand over anything to you over a silver platter.

That’s an interesting lesson. I like the lesson, but if I were Jack, I’m not so sure of how I’d have reacted if someone had run up towards me while I was on the stage.

So he who acts is entitled to more than he who just wants?

We always give words of praise with any bonus as they need to know what it’s for. We also used to do movie nights but it’s as if the guys didn’t want to be bothered when they weren’t working.

Actually Sire, studies have shown that people, though they appreciate bonuses, really want to know that their good work is being recognized, even moreso than with money. Seems like an odd concept on the surface, but it’s true; I used to get a better response to having a pizza or party day than announcing raises.

You called that right, Tom. Medicare and Social Security were never meant to have to cover any and everybody, per se. They were set up to help those who needed it. But it’s gone a different direction, and most everyone found a way to make themselves needy. Kind of like now; trust me, I know the economy is tough, but we all have to be ready to become something else and do something else to find a way to survive.

We can all earn our entitlement; we just have to work hard first. Thanks for the great comment.
