Not surprised at your response. It again illustrates the status of the me generation. Without tax write offs, I doubt that 10% of money raised for any cause would be generated. If you don't want to donate to causes, then don't donate or participate. That is not reason to attack an exTennessee football player or discount the efforts of Tennessee fan to raise money for scholarships to assist students who wish to attend the University of Tennessee. If people want to live their life with a negative attitude, then have at it. We will not be persuaded to accept those attitudes and we will be better off because of it. Go down you narrow path and be as happy as you can while doing it. Those of us who have a more positive out look on life will not be damage by the self center attitude of others. I wish you the best in your future. What will be, will be.
Thanks for your opinion my friend.
Unfortunately you have it all wrong.
Being truthful, factual and honest on something isn't being negative minded, just telling it like it is.
As to my being negative minded, nothing could be more incorrect.
Fact is that years ago I was in sales and management and I traveled the country.
Part of what I did was teach classes/seminars on time management, goal setting and developing a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA).
Everyone should set realistic goals, work to reach those goals and then raise those goals even higher and keep doing that to climb the ladder of success in whatever they're doing.
Being optomistic and having a Positive Mental Attitude is important but you also need a dose of reality as well so that you don't set goals too high that you can never reach them and feel the excitement of accomplishment of a job well done.
Then you raise those goals and get back to work on them again.
I'll never become a negaVol or a negative minded person but I'll always remain honest and tell the truth even if the truth hurts.
Life is tough and along the way you'll find a bed of roses sometimes but be careful my friend because along with roses comes the thorns.
It's nice to hear that somebody donated $1 Million to something but people also need to know that the $1 Million is 100% tax deductable so the person loses nothing and gets loads of free, positive PR from doing that which many people don't know or understand.
