Ramblings about Gen Y
This post will mainly serve as a scribble of notes for things that I want to tackle in a proposed writing.
Gen Y... the supposed "blessed" generation. We were told that we could have anything we wanted... anything we asked for. We were supposed to be the first generation to basically not ever experience the hardships the previous generations faced. We were never to experience war or political corruptness or economic collapse. We were never to feel hungry or disadvantaged. Anything that we dreamed, we were to achieve. Nothing was to stand in our way.
How life has its own plans. You don't tempt fate. That's what I always say. I think our parents as well as us have tempted fate. Daring and saying nothing could happen to us.
I wrote a post a while back stating how different my generation was when compared to the older generation. How we are an instant gratification generation. We get to the point. We want what we want. Our attention span has become so shortened due to living in an electronic age.
Generation X says that we are entitled. Generation X says that Generation Y was coddled and indulged and spoiled. Maybe we are. But, that sense of confidence comes with reason. We work harder, smarter, and better. We're more innovative and less afraid to voice our opinions. We want to matter. We want to make a difference where we work. We learn a vast amount in high school and in college -- more than the previous generation. We just want something to show for our hard work.
