Generation Y

People born before 1945 were called the Greatest Generation.
People born between 1946 and 1964 are called The Baby Boomers.
People born between 1965 and 1979 are called Generation X.
And people born between 1980 and 2010 are Generation Y.

Why do we call the last group - Generation Y?
Y should I get a job?
Y should I leave home and find my own place?
Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?
Y should I clean my room?
Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?
Y should I buy any food?

Something for sharing.

Positive vibes

From a young age, I believe that anything is possible and I maintain a positive outlook.  Of course, when I begin to realize that the sometime is pure fiction, I wonder what else are fantasies.  When the  odds against me, I tend to have a negative outlook. Besides, reality is hard to ignore when what I hope for does not come to fruition, it is hard to be optimistic when life keeps giving me a raw deal.

Also the fear of being disappointed is a big deterrent when pursuing my dreams - the thought of a crushing defeat, the whispers of ridicule I might have to endure or the pain of financial loss if things dont work out.

If I have a glass half full sort, I'd best not be around the glass half empty folks.

Something for sharing.
