Risks to avoid-New Generation beware
The greatest risks the new generation faces. [Beware or a
too soft generation is under formation –our country’s future depends on them]
1. Over protection by parents:
The plentiful situation now has
given birth to a generation which has not seen “wants” in life. Everything is
taken care of for them. Parents destroy their children’s life. Eventually
resulting in children’s divorce, idling at home by grown up sons joblessly etc.
2. Lack of approach to go full-swing
into anything:
The internet and computer have killed
curiosity. Complacence and the belief that “taking it easy” is right. I have seen
MBA students submitting assignments copied from the internet. Hard work is
anathema to them.
3. Lack of punctuality:
The risk of not valuing time. Being
casual about it being late in anything they do. And not bother about it. Not
getting up early morning before sunrise is a contributor
4. Lying or Bluffing:
In order to hide their mistakes,
tend bluff about things. After sometime, it will be exposed. It is better to be
upfront
5. Giving Excuses as a habit & not
taking responsibility:
If something goes wrong, it is not
because of them.
One boy once had to meet me at 09.00
AM at my office. I called him at 08.30 A.M to check where he has reached. He said
he has come very near the place. Then he arrived only at 09.20 A.M. It is our
first meeting. Immediately on arrival, he blamed the auto driver (though I had
given the boy clear directions at 08.30 A.M).
Another
person could not make a journey as promised. He called up and told me that the
“train left early”. It is something which can never happen in our country , no
train leaves any station earlier than the scheduled time.
6. Too much money mindedness:
Though not prepared to put in hard
work the media and the surroundings put in pressure to have money. So the
generation is pressed to make money, even
dubious through means. Trying to get something for nothing.
7. Wasting time on web based social
networking and mobile chatting[without real life contacts]
To find meaning in life, these from
channels. Some limited time is OK. To waste long time is wasteful & leads
to problems.Many social evils and even crimes can occur.
8. Looking for instant gratification ,
Avoiding pain:
Being not ready to put in the
necessary efforts. Avoiding pain and frustration, which is part of growing up
and becoming more balanced and mature. The point here is not deliberate pain
–seeking, but boldness to venture into tough things, to achieve great things
.No pain, No gain.
9. Lack of consideration for others or for sharing:
Looking for pleasure only of
oneself. Micro families encourage non sharing behavior. This they see examples
from their own parents. They don’t feel the need to share also because they are
mostly single child families where all the resources, attention are showered on
limited number of children. The real world will be a shock, when the shell is
broken.these children will not be able to cope, We have to realize that this world is interdependent,four people are needed to carry a corpse and a mother is needed to carry a young child.
