Half-Generation Gap

I came across a blog of a young lady recently. She had just completed her undergraduate study, but was reluctant to search for a job. Procrastination – that’s how she described herself.

After years of working, I returned to school to take up MBA. I observe that many younger students, like the blogger just mentioned, are in no hurry to earn money.

How things have changed! When I was an undergrad, many students secured a job before they even completed their study. I personally reported to duty one month after my last exam paper.

Is the younger generation spoiled? Do they lack work ethics? Or perhaps the older generations simply work too hard. We do not know how to “enjoy life”.

In whatever the case, I strongly believe the youths who don’t work should make use of their free time wisely. They can, for example, be social workers helping the less fortunate people. Alternatively, they may want to travel around the world – like what Kikey is doing – and come back with their stories.

My advice to the younger generation is:

Don’t be idle. You are only young once.
