Life's hard for us all in our different ways I guess!Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-19407405627989323992011-06-21T14:55:51.649+10:002011-06-21T14:55:51.649+10:00I love your insightful observations of Gen X and G...I love your insightful observations of Gen X and Gen Y. They do exude that easy confidence but at the risk of sounding curmudgeon, I think it comes from having parents who give them plenty of opportunities. <br /><br />Gen X are a scrappy bunch because they are raised by television, latch key kids.<br /><br />You are spot on with your statement of "Each generation looks back on its own past with rosy glasses and then views the generation after it through this faulty prism."<br /><br />I'm a happy new follower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-87785263347809423142011-04-19T21:43:23.759+10:002011-04-19T21:43:23.759+10:00Agreed Kath.

Mind you, with a growing number of Gen Y friends, once they hit 25 they seem to settle down, get some semblance of an attention span and become less skittish.

In one of my part-time jobs (last day tomorrow however, as we pack up our lives here and ready ourselves for Geneva) I'm surrounded by Gen Y's who regularly astound me at their confidence. Not cocky, but just more initiative and openness than I had at their age and their skill levels are incredible.<br /><br />Plus they're entertaining to have around - ready for a laugh and not be too grim just yet.Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.com
