There are an awful lot of news stories out there about the arrested development of today’s young people. This one about the top 20 stressful events in the lives of millennials was particularly bleak. (Spoiler: Most of the list had to do with their phones or social media.)

Then you read about an enterprising young man who heard that Seattle was struggling after being hit with a foot of snow, drove there with his truck and plow, and worked almost around the clock for four days, earning $35,000 in the process. He’ll be tithing 20% of his earnings, and plans to spend the rest on his business and a future house of his own.

So there is hope for at least some of this generation.
