Seriously. I think today's youth have gotten a bum deal from the adults paving the way for them. I'd especially like the baby boomers to take some responsibility for the world that's come to be under their watch instead of being cynical about the misbegotten youth of today. P.S. -- I'll be 40 this year. Well — I always say if you don’t like the way the youth of today are, look at the society and adults around them.

Seriously. I think today’s youth have gotten a bum deal from the adults paving the way for them. I’d especially like the baby boomers to take some responsibility for the world that’s come to be under their watch instead of being cynical about the misbegotten youth of today.

P.S. — I’ll be 40 this year.

It seems today's youth are more focused on the easy way out, "just doing stuff" or making a quick buck. A bums life it is...

However, I don't know that those in high school get exposed to this sort of message either -- I'm pretty cynical about the state of our educational system these days. I think kids in the 50s were a lot luckier than kids of my generation and this current generation in the sort of educational environment they had. In any event, I enjoy these videos JD!

One that I wish would resonate more with those in High School now. It is so much easier the earlier you begin te process. I do believe that it is possible, however, that perhaps Don was exposed to too many paint fumes and that is why he talked like Rambo :) As everyone has said, it is a great message.

No really despite that the point of it all is great and a tribute to the good values we used to find in film.

Just remember that it's easy to get stuck in the planning stage. So an even more important third step is taking action. Goals and plans deal with the future but actions are for the present. Happy New Year! Peter Plans are a great second step (goals being a great first step). Just remember that it’s easy to get stuck in the planning stage. So an even more important third step is taking action. Goals and plans deal with the future but actions are for the present.

Happy New Year!
