Help Wanted: Leadership

     Hey! Stop criticizing every single person to ever make a mistake! I understand that Obama may not be your best bud, but give the man a break. I would like to see you run for office Mr. Friedman, let us see what happens to your reputation. You will be pulled apart by journalists much like yourself, your limbs and heart scattered and to be picked at by cute little forest animals. Sick, huh? So are you. You fail to see that there is no simple solution that will be the end-all of the world's problems. Think logically. If there was a good solution anywhere, the leaders of the country would have seen it and agreed upon it. How dare you belittle the men who lead this glorious nation? YOU SIR are an ignoble piece of work, because I know that no matter how much I verbally harass you, you will not budge. In fact, we both know it. Your purpose, I feel, is to find the flaws of your life and amplify them. Seriously, comparing Obama to someone like Hoover? Nobody can mess up that badly. I understand that you meant the next person in office will be like ol' Herb, but I was under the impression that you believed Obama would win. And he doesn't go home snickering at the state of the country sipping wine, he probably doesn't sleep as night. There. My claims are just as valid as yours. Provide some actual evidence of corruption being the cause of the state of the economy, and maybe I will be a little more kind.

What if the Secret to Success Is Failure?

"To help chronically low-performing but intelligent students, educators and parents must first recognize that character is at least as important as intellect.” If I could summarize the message of the entire article, it would be close to the above quote. I found Tough's writing style to be very critical. He was thoroughly researched on the topic, I do agree with the material discussed, and I wish that this would come standard in Mass schools. In those ways it satisfies the three appeals, making this an easy choice to write about for me. I hope that somewhere, someone important reads this, the decides that this is something that needs to be done in every school around the country. If that happens, I feel that Regan's article review about how our generation is the worst generation ever to exist will be quickly changed to the best. A school system with a course that teaches grit will ensure the flourishing of our lives.
