Entitlement

by Christopher Paul on September 27, 2012

Aaron Mahnke talking about those who complain the new phone or music album is too similar to the one before it:

Here's a great rule of thumb: until you create something yourself and then actually ship it, try to first find the positive in the products around you. Those products are the result of someone's passion, hard work and innate genius. When we compare them to our own twisted, entitlement-driven expectations, we do nothing but insult their creators.

It goes beyond phones and CDs. People just expect to get everything they want from someone else. No one owes them anything. Get over it.
