(Thanks to Susan for the news tip.)
This is one of those things I wish I could unsee–a 10-year-old kid serving as a motivational speaker for his local high school football team.
Can you imagine the size of his ego by the time he’s twenty?
Really, this whole thing of being lectured to by children is getting out of hand. “I’ve seen a lot of things,” he declares. Must’ve been a busy ten years. And when he’s done, the whole roomful of hulking football players springs up to give him a standing ovation. I guess they can’t just go out there and play the freakin’ game. What is this–a high school football team, or the United Nations General Assembly?
The videos have gone viral on social media. Next thing you know, Junior’ll be doing Amway conventions.
Wisdom is earned, not learned. This is a key missing ingredient in today’s social media environment.
Bull’s eye for you.
You hit it squarely on the head, Watchman. Some of the younger folks all but live and die by Facebook and I can’t imagine why I’d care what a bunch of anonymous strangers think of me. We have some shared values here, and I appreciate that. I don’t come to this blog seeking approval, but I enjoy the fellowship. It’s a completely different vibe than Facebook.
I should hope so! (Your blog host)
Indeed! I just wanted to clarify that participation in a blog such as this is quite different from Facebook, which is basically a mutual fan club.
Absolutely. I have found this forum to be very intellectually invigorating, where growth occurs through internal explorations and its effect on community perspectives. I look forward to reading more.
We’ve got a nice, full archive for you.
I guess my 80 years is down the drain:(
Only 70 years too late to make your mark as a motivational speaker!
Truth.:)
Great Scott, what next!?
Oh, could we hear Hallelujah by the Isaacs? There is one version that includes the printed lyrics.
But of course. Maybe I ought to save it for tomorrow morning.
I guess we should lower the voting age to ten.
Pelosi is shooting for 16. Don’t give her any more ideas.
No, she don’t need no more stinkin’ ideas.
