Millennials!

When I first saw the power point and its content I was actually surprised. Last thing I have seen about the Millennials was a video with this one old guy that had the power to make me doze off by the sound of his voice. It was good to see a different point of view to the so called Millennials or also known as us, me, we. Everyone of my friends and most of the people that go to this school and so many others in the US and in the world. After the power point I hear that we are going to see a little video. Guess which one? Yes, the old man again. Well I already know what is it about and I already know that I will be upset, and in some way angry about. I know it is not exactly the old guys fault but still, he is the physical representation of all the content in that show. So we had to write a five hundred word reply to that. Okay, here is my reply, and I promise I will try and make it as coherent as possible, but I might just let myself go for one moment and express what I feel in a non grammatical and lyrical way.

First I think it is stupid, truly, extremely imbecilic bothering about something that cannot be changed. GET OVER IT! I mean that is the way we were raised. Let us all agree, that it is not our fault. I am not trying to get away with anything, but if I grew up getting trophies for participation and not having winners or losers (which I actually didn’t), that was not my choice. I am sorry if we have the ability and courage to dream. In the show it sounds like they are all bitter just because they are now sixty and haven’t achieve some goals that people half their age did it when they were younger. Yes, we actually understand how it is to wake up at seven and to be at some place you actually despise at eight. We do know about work. What they do is generalization, and apparently they did not pay attention to English classes because that is something you just not do in an argument (got that this morning), or maybe they are just too old to remember. We do know that most of the times we have to start from the bottom and raise up, but if we want to take a risk and try to begin our own business when we are twenty, or if we don’t settle for a lousy job that pays poorly and it will make us unhappy, that is our own problem. I will admit usually when we don’t have a job we live with our parents expenses, but still if they paid our way to college and believe in us I am sure they will not think twice about agreeing that some job is not good for you. The greatest example of a company that has adapted not only to its younger employees but to everyone of them, so they can work and be happy at the same time (Yes, it possible).Google, that "little" company, whose creators rank fifth in the list of richest American, yes, that company that places as the top media empire. Adaptation, that is a word that everyone should have in mind.



Okay, some of just cannot afford to not have a job. What we ask, the least we want from and employee is respect and understanding. And guess what companies? Sometimes you too have to adept is it not a surprise? The older generations should understand one thing, WE ARE THE FUTURE. Yes, in capitalized letters. And our future is your future. It should be of your interest, so instead of putting us down and complaining about subjects that cannot be changed you should support us. Your companies will be in our hands, your grandchildren are our babies, the world will be ours one day, so instead of showing us our ugly parts, go and be our friends. Try improving what we have, our creativity, our multi tasking, and our acquaintance with technology. We can learn from you, from your mistakes and from what you did right. You can learn from us. We should all just respect each other and always try to be positive with the other side, negative attitude does not bring any good, to anyone.
