They feel they are entitled to other people's wealth. They grew up having the government do everything and pay for everything. It was not uncommon in my house or others homes to have a new computer or a new (used) car , plenty of presents at Christmas and the works because having the government pay for things freed up cash we could use to buy the things we really wanted. Everything was paid for, food, shelter, water, utilities, education, etc. Then on top of it, the poor are always told that more should be done for them by the government and by the people so they get it in their head that they are entitled to it. I was with one friend at a mall one day and she wanted to steal a ring. I didn't want to and I asked her why she was going to do it. She said that she was poor and the corporation was rich. The corporation had millions and didn't need/wouldn't miss the money had she bought it. She was poor and needed/deserved it. This is the mentality. The truth is that there are plenty of jobs in America. Even minimum wage is plenty of money for the poor to live off of in America. There are no poor people who don't have color television sets. If you want to see poor, take a look at a real poor country like Zimbabwe. It is common for those who were once middle class to only eat one meal a day.

The organizers lose our on access to the right talent, and applicants lose out on access to the right opportunities. We've been running Let Me Know (http://www.letmeknow.in) to break this information barrier, finally. This is certainly a work-in-progress, but I'm happy that the over 500 opportunities we list is making an impact for a large number of students in India.

How many of us pick up a quarter we see on the street? Most kids don't apply for scholarships and I have never understood why. Some of the reasons may be that they don't have any knowledge of the scholarships. But finding out is part of the job. One of my children received two $500 scholarships, one $1000 scholarship, one $1500 scholarship, and one $4000 scholarship. Ask the guidance counselor, go online, ask the parent's employer, and apply for them.
