We live in a capitalist society where profit is the primary motivation for business.
Now business owners come in many varieties and many are very patriotic and god fearing, but ultimately they have to manage their business as, well, a business.
Now to some extent we can be viewed as individual businesses. Of course some of us are, if you have a family farm, or a small store, etc. However even if you work for someone else you are more and more required to treat yourself as a business, or in the modern parlance a brand.
What does your brand say about you?
If you can't answer that question, no one else will be able to either.
Is your brand some sort of generic worker who doesn't offer anything special?
Well that brand is pretty cheap and unlikely to draw much attention.
Sometimes it generates no demand at all.
Especially if you are priced too high.
You can complain about how you've been let down by the Government, by society, by pretty much everyone.
You can look at successful people and wonder why them and not you?
You can complain about how millenials expect everything handed to them.
Well look in a mirror. If you sat back thinking you had some entitlement, you are the same.
You never did and never will.
You were and are in charge of your life.
If it turned out badly, there's really only one person to blame.
