Preparing Our Future For Yesterday
It’s a shame that communication and presentation skills—so essential to success in life—aren’t taught in school.
Does that seem right?
In a recent tweet I talked about how I had to endure class presentations from people who do not know how to present.
I am in my second year of university and there are still students who put [...]
Millennial Media Suffocation
At times, I cannot hear myself breath nor think as I nervously reach for my pocket to make sure I have my phone.
For a generation guided by constant communication, my friends and I experience daily a world that awakens us with a customized ring tone alarm and continues with constant messages throughout the day brought [...]
One Young World: For a better future
To those that say that Gen Y is filled with egotistical self-centered coddled pre-adults, I say, well, I don’t really say anything. I just give you my Death-Stare.
But that’s probably because I’m not as classy as those Gen Y-ers who will be attending the One Young World Summit in London this week. Under the guidance [...]
The Real World XXIII: Ambassadors of Generation Y
Love it or hate it: The Real World has truly become ingrained in Gen Yer’smind’s as a reality show that stands apart from the rest, and in the minds of older generations as the show that is predicting the downfall of our way of life. It has inspired countless imitators, none of which has been [...]
Sticking It To The Big Man: The 3/50 Project
Not long ago, I was shopping and killing time while my younger brother was getting a haircut in my hometown of Northampton, MA. Another cold January afternoon in New England, I figured nothing but hot cup of coffee could fill the void winter creates.
“Well, I’ll walk down the street and hit up Starbucks,” I thought [...]
The Misplaced Motivation Of The Bra Burners
Out of the many worn, misused and misinterpreted words in present-day English language, “feminism” is high up on my list. It is not hard to come across bra-burning misandrists, raving and ranting against the opposite sex, screaming for equality – all in the name of the convenient excuse they call feminism. Onlookers applaud their heroism, [...]
In the Auto World, Size Matters to Gen Y
**This article was composed by myself and fellow TNGG member Harvey Simmons.
In contrast to a people who, at the dawn of the millennium, lived for the powerful guzzling SUV, Generation Y has gone Euro. Compact is back, and it is not just about gas prices this time. According to a recent study from Iconoculture, Millennials [...]
What’s Your Professional Love Language?
As adolescents, we’re taught to study hard in school so that one day we can have desirable careers with big, fat paychecks. This lesson sometimes leads to high expectations and even entitlement, which ultimately can lead to disappointment when we actually get into the workforce. Whether due to the economy, chosen industry or some other [...]
Money Plays Lesser Role In Millennial View Of Success
Completing your Peace Corps service is comparable to graduating from college in that you are thrown into the real world and suddenly have to start worrying about your future. A lot of us volunteers start applying to graduate schools and jobs months before we ever go home, but not my friend Amanda. She’s 26 years [...]
A Reflection on Martin Luther King Jr.
I recently attended a roundtable discussion about King’s legacy. During the discussion, we watched a video that showed a different side of Martin Luther King Jr. His friends were interviewed and their comments and memories of him revealed a man who had many passions and someone who was quite the ladies man.
I was shocked to [...]
