Simon Sinek: Millennials

   First off, this guy is a genius. I have listened to some other talks he has done and he always blows my mind and changes the way I view something. And of course, he did it again with this one. The topic of millennials has always been interesting to me. I love studying or observing why we as people do what we do, especially focusing on how people in certain age groups act alike. 

   Something I have noticed in my "millennial" age group, and Simon Sinek talked about this too, is that we we don't want to work or do something if it doesn't bring purpose to our lives. I like to say that the older generation was good at the whole "grin and bear it" way of doing things. The idea that yeah things might suck but you just work hard and get through it. However millennials want to bring purpose to everything. If something is too hard... they want to figure out a more efficient, better, easier way of doing it. Or change the thing to make it less miserable. This way of thinking can be terrible, because millennials lack drive or even feel too entitled to something (such as money without having to work for it). But this way of thinking can be amazing and very helpful, as long as it is harnessed in the right way and for the right cause.
