Looking for "Instant" Success

It seems like youngsters and kids nowadays don't have much hunger in their bellies.

Why do I say that?

My oldest boy, who is 8 year-old, is slightly worrying me. He has this growing habit of everything being served to him in a silver platter. I know he is still young you may say. Well, that is where the habit may stick to him forever! As a father I can only send him to the doorstep and encourage him to step in but if he is hesitant or lazy to go in himself, that's where problems will come.

I don't really like people to have a dependent mindset on others as I prefer everyone to be independent when it comes to grinding things out. Right, a team discussion is understandable when there are some problems, and that's what I like. And that's what I tell my juniors when they come to me for problems.

For them, the unknown is not worth trying, and leaving your comfort zone is a bad decision. Instant result and success are what they want, but they forget there's always a series of hardwork before anyone can taste the success.

Do you know people in your life who don't want to work hard and just want success NOW?
