1/5

A Very Good Morning/Afternoon one and all, I am ____________ studying in _______

class would like to share my views on the Topic Todays Young Generation.

I hope you all remember the American President Barack Obama and First

Lady Michelle Obama after they visited The Taj Hotel, they went to one of Mumbais

top colleges i.e St. Xavier's College to meet Young Students of the City. One may

feel why is he doing, why he is meeting young Students like is?? The importance is

known by the fact that India is the second most populous country in the world, with

over 1.21 billion people (2011 census), more than a sixth of the world's population.

Already containing 17.5% of the world's population, India is projected to be the

world's most populous country by 2025, surpassing China, its population reaching

1.6 billion by 2050.

India has more than 50% of its population below the age of 25 and more than

65% hovers below the age of 35. It is expected that, in 2020, the average age of an

Indian will be 29 years, compared to 37 for China and 48 for Japan; and, by 2030. So

it is clear that todays youth is going to write the future of the Nation and next super

power after USA. So the President of America in such important visit to India met

Students as spread the right message and to ensure the youth is on a right track.

In this 21st Century the youth today have great access to Information thanks

to evolution of Technologies giving birth to Iphones, Ipads., 3G Serivices,Wifi hub

and what not. So the Youth or shall I say Generation Y has so much more than


2/5

what our oldies had few decades ago. So lets look at some of the Positives

Generation Y:

1. They Like to Live Life King Size: - Everything they want is all big and no

small items would fill their lives. They want to have best of the Luxuries

and enjoy every moment of it.

2. They have lot of confidence: - Generation Y have the exuberance and

zeal to perform activities in the best of their abilities and they generally

not very worried about the outcome, so end up giving their 100% and are

full of confidence just like me!!!!

3. They have abilities to create more opportunities: - Another major

distinction of the Generation Y is that they try to find their own ways

and means to do things. They are more creative and they try to find more

options or shall I say opportunities for them to go up in life.

4. They are open to talk and understand and learn lot of things: - As we

spoke that the Generation Y are able to create more opportunities for

themselves. So how do they do it?? Well they dont shy to ask more and

more questions and very open to discuss, learn and execute new things.

They have to enthusiasm to perform and try to outperform that what is

expected that is because they learn lot of things in very short period of

time. I shall give u a example, Few days back I played the songs of

Rockstar movie at home for two consecutive days and the next day I

started singing the songs and my Dad is like how do u do it?? Well thats

the Generation Y for you..

5. They are adapting and adopting the globalization/ globalized culture: -

Well the oldies had a very narrow minded mindset and were not very keen

to change anything that is against the culture. Well the Generation Y are

very open to new ideas, cultures or following the western culture and

having a mix of Best of Indian and Western Cultures. They dont mind

making changes in life and want to enjoy this moment to the best and

mostly live in the present.

6. They are willing to relocate and start fresh: - As I said the Generation Y

want to live this moment more than think more about the future. Thats

because they are not just worried to start thing afresh in life. They Love to

take up challenges and dont mind taking up tuff challenges.

Well enough of talking good about our Generation Y, now lets see some of

the problems:

1. Generation Y frequently change their jobs; hence, they seem to

be less committed and oldies doubt their integrity as well.

Youngies argued: Before finding a career of their choice and

interest, we want to take 4 to 5 risks in terms of jobs. Once we get it

we stick to that organisation for life time. E.g. Ashish did is CFA from

top Management institute in India. He went to Australia to work as

organisation Head, but came back. Later he joined AXA and now he is

happy with his career. Before that he tried jobs in India and abroad and

finally landed in this job, settled by now

2. They lack patience and persistence.


4/5

Youngies argued: No. We believe patience spoils the dynamism of

life and may kill the business itself. It may spoil career and even

can make life stagnant. Patience is required in growing but patience

does not required for taking decision and getting work done. Also

we do not want to commit mistake that our past generation did.

3. They are too anxious and want to know much more than they

should.

Youngies argued: No. We won't do anything which does not fit in

our ethics. If someone hides something we believe that hiding

means something fishy is there. That is why Right to Information

Act and Compulsory Disclosure are there. Transparency is the way

of life and business today. Even 100 Billion Dollars Organizations

have transparency in all their transactions, then why not the

business I/we are in should be that transparent?

4. They are more willing to earn fast money. Higher the degree more

is the lust for money. More from the business background more the

requirement for money.

5. . They do not respect older generation.

So as u see the Generation Y have a tuff time ahead, as they have to balance

their lives with the best of the things as their acts now will create the foundation for

the coming generations.


5/5

I would like to end by saying this famous quote by John Erskine: Lets tell young

people the best books are yet to written; the best painting, the best government the

best of everything is yet to be done by them.

Or by Samuel Johnson: The desire of advising has a very extensive

prevalence; and, since advice cannot be given but to those that will hear it, a

patient listener is necessary to the accommodation of all those who desire to be

confirmed in the opinion of their own wisdom: a patient listener, however, is not

always to be had; the present age, whatever age is present, is so vitiated and

disordered, that young people are readier to talk than to attend, and good counsel

is only thrown away upon those who are full of their own perfections.
