Many kids are just plain spoiled these days and expect things.  They feel they
are entitled to things.  

Part of it is that, but some people are just more driven than others.  I can't
understand lazy.  When I want something, I do what needs to be done to get it.
I don't sit around and wait for someone to get it for me or do it for me.
