RE: Does life experience change the way people use Steem?

in #steemit8 years ago

Hi Taraz. You raise some interesting talking points on this post. Don't honestly know as each generation seems to be very different from the next. The rules seem to change.
When I first started work everyone told you stick it out and make a career. Start at the bottom and work your way up basically. Get experience and then you can move on to something better. Then it changed it wasn't frowned upon to have worked for 2 or 3 companies over a 2 year period. You were getting experience in different work environments. I still feel the opposite, why train someone who is leaving in six months. I think the youth of today is impatient and will look for shortcuts to the top. They are ambitious and want everything now. They won't work for it either and believe they are entitled to whatever they expect.
Actually to answer some of your questions from your post the majority of the older generation will be a part of the community like you and I but the younger ones it will be a no.
Don't proof read this as I write what I think lol.

Yeah and I think I hold a similar notion here. Why upvote someone who won't be here in six months? I don't mean the people who will leave because of lack of support, I mean the people who are always looking for the latest and greatest. They are the worst friends to have and never have your back.

I think this too. There is not a lot of stamina in the younger generations of commitment is required

So It's not just me who thinks like that. Thought I was the odd one out. Times have definitely changed.

There are exceptions of course but, they are getting few and far between. Those who truly are willing to drive themselves are going to do very well.
