RE: Opportunities Come to Those Who Prepare Themselves...

in #life6 years ago

Wow! I wants to adden something: There's a whole industry built up around telling "millennials" how terrible they are for being exactly the same as every generation of human beings that ever existed. And very few have figured out that the entire business is a survival strategy adopted by middle aged people nobody has ever heard of who want to keep themselves afloat in an atmosphere of intense overpopulated competition against raw youth who have different dreams. Maybe better dreams. Internet "truth" is dangerous indeed.

Want to feel motivated? Stay busy. Busy = happy. Have a bigger dream? Stay busy at that. Try not to stay busy for other people after 30. Not complicated. Nothing to do with "parenting", whatever that was, is, and ever will be. That's sheer paranoia, and it get under people's skin so well because (as pro rhetoricians know) everyone resents their parents to some degree, and parents resent their kids. The brute fact is people are what they are because of a few molecules behind their foreheads right now. This is the truth. Go do something else instead of watching videos where somebody you've never met is paid to tell you about yourself. thanks.
