It is very difficult to get people to focus on the most important things when you're in boom times.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was stuck as a Boomer type in a lot of people's minds.
Really, most of us just focus on what's in front of us. We're too busy putting out the fires of everyday life.
We have been so successful in the past century at the art of living longer and staying alive that we have forgotten how to die. Too often we learn the hard way. As soon as the baby boomers pass pensionable age, their lesson will be harsher still.
It's very difficult in the technology space when you have been leapfrogged to prosper again.
If boomers were always looking to shock, millennials are eager to share.
You can't focus on other people's careers. Everybody is different.
I think there's something about being absolutely at the height of intensity at almost every moment of one's job that makes it a lot easier if you don't have time to think much, just sort of barrel through the next crisis.
You're not a baby boomer if you don't have a visceral recollection of a Kennedy and a King assassination, a Beatles breakup, a U.S. defeat in Vietnam, and a Watergate.
The boomers' biggest impact will be on eliminating the term 'retirement' and inventing a new stage of life... the new career arc.
Most people get overwhelmed by the insignificant decisions of their lives. I'm urging people to minimize the time spent on these when they're not critical to their most important goals.
