I’ll go with what my Parent’s told me.

1. Nobody owes you a living. (My Dad’s addendum to me as a whining Teenager, so shut up and get back to work)

2. You help People who CAN’T help themselves, not People who WON’T help themselves. (They didn’t mean the Government)

3. There will always be someone better off than you and there will always be someone worse off than you, that’s Life.

4. Work hard, Save your Money and Sacrifice when you’re Young so you won’t need to do the same when you’re Old.
