Social Entrepreneur

Teddy Roosevelt, John Muir, Susan B. Anthony and Dr. Maria Montessori are just a few of the names of social entrepreneurs of our history. Social entrepreneurs have been around for well over a century. The title of social entrepreneur was never there, but the idea was. I see it as something that can truly help this world but only if the world helps adopt some of the great ideas that these individuals or groups bring light to. Our society is filled with a bunch of needy, greedy, whinny beggars. There are too many people that feel they have the right to “free this” or “free that” and that they shouldn’t have to do anything for it. It is people like Sakena Yacooki, Michael Eckhart, Bunker Roy and Ann Cotton (URL: http://www.skollfoundation.org/skoll-entrepreneurs/) that are trying to help get us away from the “you owe me” mentality to the “how can I help” way of thinking. Sadly, I do feel that there way of thinking and trying to benefit our society is not going to help. There just aren’t enough people in this world willing to help change the way of life for the better. They are just too busy trying to find a way to get something else free.
I went on a “tantrum” this morning on my Facebook page about politics (which I will not get into) but my little hissy fit wasn’t too far off of how social entrepreneurship will not work in today’s society, mainly based on the weakness of the people. It is extremely sad that a lot of people don’t realize where this world is going and I truly fear for not only my future grandchildren but even my children now. They are inheriting a time bomb of self-destruction and the fuse is getting shorter and
