Every Generation Is The Same

Fellow Steemians!
Our Topic is all about Every Generation Is The Same!!

Forget the Millennial description of who they are, what they want and expect. I have news for everyone, when the Baby Boomers ( myself) were the age that the Millennials are now, we were no different. I can not speak for the generation before me, but pretty sure it was the same too.

When I was in my 20's I knew it all. I wanted to be recognized for everything I did. Tell me what an excellent job I was doing. I wanted to be rewarded for my greatness and all I had achieved. It was not until later on in life, I understood that what I was doing was my job. I was doing what was expected of me. What I was hired to do.

Soon the Millennials will be getting a little older and gain more experience in their professional life. Just as my generation did and the generation before them.

I am excited for the Millennials to take the next step. I see such a large group of smart and ambitious young adults (no offense taken please, everyone is young at my age) with a very bright future. Soon they will gain more experience and insight on how to accomplish things in their professional life. They will learn not to rely on other people to tell them what they should do but trust themselves in how they should conduct themselves and be successful. They will hold on to some beliefs and values and let go of some others. It is a learning process and I am confident that my future is in good hands too.

I know the Millennials will figure it out, because past generations figured it out too. My only advice is do not treat the generation ahead of you as stupid, outdated and time has past them by. To earn the respect you want, you also need to give respect. It is like when I was in my teens, my dads advice was so stupid. My dad had no clue how it was than. It is only as I have gotten older, I realized how smart my dad had become. Learn to embrace what they (we) can teach you. Consider it furthering education in life.
