ChIcken & Duck talk

The present generation have a generation gap between them and baby boomers. They behave like chicken and duck and both don't want to understand what the other side is talking about .


For the young generation from Gen Y onwards, they will absent themselves if there is flu or a cough and most Monday morning is struggle to go to work and most of the time, they failed to go to work. During the prime of the baby boomers, we talk one penadol or a pain killer and struggle to work and finish a good day's work.


For the young generation, they can quit a job before getting another job. They even can tell the boss that they want a few months  to rest before getting a job. They have to eagerness or intention to start their job and they are not worried because their parents have left much for them. For the baby boomers, a job security is very important to provide for themselves or for their family, On their mind, they need to save for raining days.


For the young ones, they earned RM100 , they spend RM200 and come what may, they want the latest IPhone and at least a car to travel in.  They can own 8 to 10 credit cards and struggle to top up each month with their limited earnings. The baby boomers only want credit cards to buy the necessity and fit their stomach .


For the young ones, they prefer a car to a house while the baby boomers prefer a house to a car. They prefer to walk or take public transport to work while the young ones must have a car to travel . Like in the western movies , have gun will travel.


When the older generations advise the young ones, the latter pretend that they don't understand and want their creative way to solve it or they will consult google to check the advise of the old ones. In this internet age, the young ones prefer to text each other even they sitting oppersite sides of a table while the older ones prefer face to face talk.


The older ones want the distance to be shorter but the young ones make the distance further but avoiding face to face talk.


The older ones gets only one degree and they can handle all their jobs but the young ones accumulate degrees and yet still cannot handle the one job.


This is the irony of life.  the more closer we are , the more further we get.


Namaste.
