Why I think America needs more people like Ron Swanson.
I am considered to be a millennial, or from the younger generation. For the most part my generation is known for being entitled, having a poor work ethic, and just down right selfish. We are not considered the greatest generation. We haven't done much but expect to receive more than our fair cut or at least that is what other generations are saying. This is why I believe America needs more people like Ron Swanson, a character from the TV series
of Parks and Recreation.
He is a man’s man. Here are three things that we can learn from Ron Swanson.
1. Never misses breakfast- He starts out every day with a
good helping of plenty bacon and eggs. I think at times we are too busy to enjoy a good breakfast to start our day off right. We need to make time to eat more bacon and eggs.
2. Simple- He is a man who has few simple pleasures in life: whisky, woodworking, and Steak. Life is all about the simple pleasures. Too often we can fall into "keeping up with the Jones" or trying to do too much or be too much. We need to enjoy our simple pleasures. It doesn't even have to be whisky, woodworking, or steak.
3. Solid values- Ron says, "a man is only as good as his word." We live in a time where black and white values and standards are being eroded into a thick sea of gray. Where decisions are made based on what is popular or what will have the most selfish benefits. We need to stand tall and be like Ron Swanson and not be swayed by what is popular. We may even need to grow mustaches if necessary.
