CAN'T WE JUST ALL GET ALONG? 01/10/2012
 As “an older person” it’s much harder to embrace “what is” than “what was”. The realities of youth: They dress differently (more relaxed), they speak differently (less political correctness) and they communicate differently (my sons would rather text than talk). So the real challenge for you as an “older person” or you as a “younger person” is to understand one another. If you want to win, befriend youth. And youth, if you want to win, befriend experience. Together take advantage of every opportunity. Don’t fight each other; embrace each other for who you are and what your talents are! Tom Cline CommentsKent Rawhouser 01/10/2012 16:13
Tom, great topic. All those young pups just need to embrace listening and life will be good.... My wife and I were just discussing this. The social media; texting, facebook, etc., has made keeping in touch very easy but destroyed communication. I am in contact with people that 10 years ago would have been completely out of my life but now are at least in touch. A quick Text of 'Love You' occurs often to my wife at work whereas a phone call to say that would be to disruptive and thus skipped. Leave a Reply |
