I beg to differ that point, because in actual fact he is neither directly pointing out the fact that you suck nor is it an indirect derogatory comment. He is simply stating that like most of us walking out of studying into the working world never was and never will be easy, however you do have to make a plan to work your ass off to get to the top. I am now an IT Manager and I worked 9 hard years to get to where I am. I can't say that I haven't slacked off but I have to be fair, however I started at the bottom as someone who was only able to do the basics of my job even though I knew I was capable of so much more, but I stuck with it and I never let anyone bring me down.

People are lazy because they choose to be and not because they are forced to, I take street beggers for example, they should work for the money they would like instead of begging daily for it on the side of the road.

I've worked 2 jobs at once while I was working my way up the corporate ladder and I did it without a matric, however I did achieve my CCNA. I worked as a junior call centre agent as well as a waiter at a portugese place for a year almost 7 days a week and I had to fight back many emotions because I knew what I had to do and I knew how I was going to achieve that.

So that's my opinion on the matter.
