It's less a generational issue, more of an issue of people wanting to set goals and achieve them. :threadjacked:

Well, everyone is different, but it is very much a generational issue.
My parents and grandparents grew up in times of The Great Depression and two World Wars. They had a very different experience and take on life and passed it on to their kids and grand-kids.
I see that many in my generation did not pass that experience on to their kids and grand-kids so they (kids) have a much different outlook now. I see my generation as having failed, to a large extent, to instill some of the good values we learned.
There obviously are still folks (like you) that still have the values of hard work, persistence, and thankfulness for what they have and honor them and pass them on. We do see too many now that expect too much, because they never knew different.
Before you think I live in "the good old days" all the time, I don't. There was plenty of bad then, as well!
Yes, but I digress.:bonk: What were we talking about, anyway?:iono:
