Beyond that, I think some people don't accept that sometimes they will need to do things they don't like (i.e. work hard to do well in a "boring" required course). This may also come with age, but I think it's a more common attitude than in previous generations. I hope everyone can find things to do in life that they love. But with anything, there are always going to be things you hate: changing diapers as a parent, some "boring" courses as a student, dealing with cheaters as a teacher...
