Yeah, losers tend to have have that mindset.

Lefties are realists, they see the world as it is, the good and the bad. Righties look at the world through rose coloured glasses, they get a distorted view, they live in a pretend world, often leaving answers to God rather than making their own decisions.

there is a huge difference between seeing the 'glass half full', 'glass half empty' scenario and seeing the world as some myopic fantasy land where everyone can go into business and succeed.

This may well be true, but I put it to you that this is a sensible and rational decision.
It is also, dare I say, a self fulfilling prophesy.

If you have a positive up beat vibe about you, you will tend to have good experiences, you will tend to be more employable, you will tend to have better and more friends and in the modern economy, the "social network" is the best working capital you can have.

so if you take  tradies, or  car salesmen or whatever.

the success and happiness depends very much on the ATTITUDE of the small business person.

As honky said, the new jobs will be coming in the small business sector and in the service industry.

the old jobs in the public service are gone (governments don't have the $$) and the old jobs in factories are gone (we cant compete with the apple workers in china). now public servants and factory workers can , maybe, get away with a shiity attitude.

small business people in the service sector will succeed or fail based totally on their attitude.

as ive said before,  you don't need a massive brain or a lot of money behind you.

a smile, enthusiasm, a bit of grit and some perseverance will see you through.

I am at a loss as to why any 18 to 25 yo would not be practicing these skills as they are the key to success.

and the attitude of most lefties strikes me as a constant downer and a constant negative vibe.
they shoot themselves in the foot big time.

More examples of rightards failing at knowing the real world.

I hope you don't mean yourself. You also fail at the real world because you have no idea what is going on out there at the pointy end of the employment market, no idea AT ALL.

You haven't applied for 1000 jobs without getting any. You don't know that most employers will not employ people with gaps in their resumes if they have another candidate with no such gaps. You don't know about the endemic corruption in the system that is supposed to support jobless people, including criminal activity by JSA providers, private education providers and the like, who are not subject to the same level of accountability as the jobless. We spend more money "managing" the unemployed than we do on actually helping them.

a 3 yo would do much better with me and my "glass half full' mentality than most of the previous posters with their "give up before you've begun " mentality
