    Great article!

    Accomplishing a task by a certain deadline is good, but trying to do things “all on my terms” seems to stem from selfishness and the anti-authority attitude that so many worldly youths have.

    Hmm…you know, what really struck me in this article was the same part that Zac mentioned: “Nine to 5 has been replaced with ‘Give me a deadline and I will meet your deadline,’” Kirah says of young people’s work habits. “They’re saying ‘I might work until 2 a.m. that night. But I will do it all on my terms.’” As soon as I read that, I was convicted about that being my general idea of getting things done: Give me a deadline, and I’ll be sure to have it done then; just don’t ask me to do it before I’m personally ready for it. Since it’s not full obedience, it’s disobedience, I guess, eh? (And I’m not just talking about to employers. I’m talking about to any authority…in my own situation, parents.) Hmm, cause for thought. Thanks for linking to that!
