Todays athletes as well as todays student need to use life or dissappointment as material for patience. The grass is always greener on the other side, but it is just as hard to mow. On the other side of the coin though, our young adults started out in life being "overly exposed and under developed" by how our society works, so it is no wonder why some kids, adults, seniors want every thing now. I think someone once called these men and women athletes, "The Kodak Generation." I personally think we are the Kodak culture because some, especially the most sucessesful people, including athletes, never turn out as great as they could be by working on their potential first instead of just wanting to get by and collect the large contract with all the applause. We all need to remember that when a media person takes our picture in high school or college and you see it in the town paper, that does not mean we have arrived. It just means you are being developed as a person with a specific talent or opportunity that will help you become a better citizen in the long run. Can we picture that?
