I have spoken to many young men in such a state of mind, or rather of soul, about their interests and their ambitions. They have none. They dream but they do not plan. They have no conception of how they might improve their lives, and in any case are not interested in minor or incremental improvements. They want to go from their current dismal and relatively impoverished existence to that of celebrity fairyland at a stroke, or by means of a magic carpet. Life in fairyland is the only life worth living.
It speaks for itself. How do you get people like that to change their attitudes?
