Why The Most Qualified Generation Ever Is Failing
Do you know why society is producing the most qualified generation ever that cannot find a job?
And why do they feel so entitled they believe the world owes them everything?
I’ll tell you a tale.
Once upon a time, there was a tribe of hunters. They lived from game and raised their boys like warriors.
The passage to the adult age was marked by a rite of passage where boys went to kill an animal with his own hands and offer it to the tribe.
To kill the animal they were allowed to choose a weapon. That type of weapon couldn’t be changed for the rest of their lives. There was a tradition for families to use a certain kind of weapon. So there was families of axes, spears, daggers, swords, etc.
Weapons were built by themselves, using rudimentar materials like rocks, wood or bones.
Each weapon was unique and because some materials or certain shapes were hard to find, some weapons were better than others.
Weapons were offered as gifts in important events.
In the tribe, the best hunters were worshiped. They provided the tribe with food and protection from the threat of big predators.
