Jonathan Abrams tells the remarkable tale of Korleone Young, who turned away those he most needed and went with those facilitating his downward spiral.
No apprenticeship, if such were even available, would have worked for Young because he wouldn't have utilized it. Ron Allen couldn't compete in making any difference because that would have called for hard work, discipline and sacrifice, which Young wasn't ready to undertake. Call this too much of a broad stroke but everyone else in Young's life was a user, from the corporate guys with the shoe companies to his so-called coaches to his agents. And, despite his youth, Young also needs to own what happened.
The key element is that he can still turn matters around and achieve some degree of satisfaction about his life. There's a lot of living yet to do so let's hope he embraces that opportunity and decides to help others in a positive manner.
