Millions upon millions of people have seen this viral video since it came out last winter. If you have any interest in the millennial generation, really, you should not miss it.
He says failed parenting strategies have produced a generation that thinks they can have anything they want in life just because they're special. But after they grow up and enter the "real world" they find that they're not special, that their mom cannot get them a promotion.
They find that "impact" doesn't happen in eight months. They find that they don't have effective coping skills to deal with stress.
"Job satisfaction and strength of relationships - there ain't no app for that. They're slow, meandering, uncomfortable, messy processes."
He thinks that the wisdom that their parents should have taught them will now have to come from leadership in the workplace. But there's another source. Some churches fill the wisdom gap with good leadership, thank God.
(Btw, these are generalizations. That means that there is some truth in these statements for large numbers of millennials. Generalizations do not apply to every single individual, by definition.)
