    Default Jim Is Going To Wish He Wrote This

    shockingly it's from Piers Morgan

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ons-Trump.html

    Memo to millennials, that awful feeling you've got is called losing. It happens. If you want to know how to win, stop whinging for a bit and learn some lessons from Trump

    Cheer up, American millennials!


    I mean, seriously, CHEER THE **** UP!


    Oh, I know you’ve had a rough week ever since Donald Trump won the election.


    But it’s time to get a grip.


    STOP crying.


    STOP taking personal days off work to ‘process’ what happened.


    STOP huddling with your equally distraught buddies in Starbucks over your Venti Iced White Chocolate Mocha.


    STOP howling away on social media about how unfair life is and how it’s the end of the planet as we know it.


    STOP updating the exact number Hillary won the popular vote by., because it doesn’t bloody matter.


    STOP marching around screaming your fury at the result when many of you couldn’t even bothered to vote.


    STOP retweeting all your favourite celebrities’ own outbursts of pique, rage and anguish.


    In short, STOP being such a faux-tormented bunch of absolutely deluded cretins.


    Want to know why Trump is going to be your next president?


    It’s because he is what’s called a ‘winner’.


    I know it’s not ‘cool’ to be a winner these days.


    It’s become an ugly, dirty word in your PC-crazed universe.


    Far better, the social media millennial mob cries, to be a gallant loser who tries their best but comes up short - like Bernie, or now Hillary.


    To which I say: bulls**t.


    Winning is what life’s really about - whether in sport, politics, or simply producing the best decorated pumpkin in your town’s Thanksgiving parade.


    If you don’t strive to be the very best at whatever you do, however big or small, then what’s the point in doing it, or frankly even being alive?


    Why wallow in self-induced mediocrity?

    Oh man, you aren't kidding!! I can't believe that I have to agree so much with Piers, who I've learned to despise in the past few years. And while ALL of what he wrote was perfect, I have to point out this one specific paragraph, which REALLY sounds like something I would love to take credit for!!!

    --

    The tragic truth is that America’s millennials are a bunch of phone-addicted, selfie-obsessed, hashtagging, snapchatting, kale-munching, twerking, lazy, whining, ill-informed, politically correct, cossetted narcissists who find absolutely everything mortally offensive and believe there are 165 ways to sexually identify.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    I disagree that they have to take off from work. That would first require that they actually work.
