in response to a recent internet Public service announcement. There has been a recent inspirational flash presentation called The Girl Effect. It is a great message about improving the world one person at a time. That is a great idea. But we must be careful who we choose to help. The girl spoken of in the video is driven to succeed. She has perseverance, and energy to achieve her aspirations. We must be sure that we are investing in those who will deliver, and cutting our losses with those who are failing with more basic tasks because of their laziness or self pity.
Moral: we can only do so much for people who are not willing to help themselves. If you find yourself putting so much effort into someone and they are not trying or not pushing them self; cut them off. You don't need to be dragged down and they might make it on their own better.
