An Open Letter to Millennials From a Gen Xer
Older generations accuse Millennials of being lazy and entitled.
They did the exact same thing to my generation.
They hold onto a sense of nostalgia of their golden years, fearing it will all be wiped away. And who is to blame?
You, of course!
So don’t take it personally. They’re threatened, and they’re lashing out.
This Week’s Quote:
“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer the negative elements in your life, don’t sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy!” — Dale Carnegie
