hear how lazy narcissistic and I’m
entitled for generations and the sad
truth is that we agreed order the late
nineteen eighties nineteen nineteen ISM
perhaps through the early two-thousands
my generation or Millennials is most
college grew up in the advent of spawn
was in the Russian Springs for as
infinite technologically we grow
protected and entertained by 24 hours EP
networks and aided by the understanding
that the answer to everything lies our
pockets but that very technological
rather than our society as painting a
very harsh in autonomous we’re called
generation me lazy selfish and narcissus
and I’m just doesn’t make sense we split
our owns two massive stores with
pictures of our own face a cute dogs
resident years ago people would upon the
family of gorgeous ones which of our
stats our calories blocks we took the
number of likes on social media daily
noting that some people even my
followers unless their social accounts
but perhaps more significantly evolved
least and more time than any other
generation in final America but of
course we do we grew up with Google and
smartphones with computing power greater
than when entire compute at just a few
years ago with that lovely convenience
of having all the information we need at
our fingertips we don’t have to go to
the library to sift through thousands of
dusty books because the library travels
with us we can find the answers we want
with just a few clicks in fact if I
completely ignore the power
very attentive I would probably be more
dumb and smart so my generation in other
words as a bar to expose to instant
gratification with technology I have a
question I can go online and finally
find the answers immediately is my acne
normal how do I do well on the SAT what
should I do to get a girl to like me I
can do all of that and get my answers
right away not only bad waters her brain
was doing anything for their community
service or participating as in club even
my watch tells me great job for walking
around campus instant gratification is
it an addiction we can no longer escape
and it’s an addiction because it feels
good it feels good to receive
compliments if you look good to receive
likes and comments on social media
that’s why we go on our phones over and
over and over again instant
gratification is an addiction you can no
longer see and it’s just not funny now
I’m the team in here now and if you
years ago I started talking with the
town show Chase Manhattan receiving
thousands of Lights in a week dumping
day after day every day
instant gratification I post a picture
and then the response I get the legs and
in the comments I get the followers but
as the pilot that posted less frequently
maybe a few times a month and as a
result the lights and comments of
followers also slowed down as well and
as a result anyway I waited my
successful account that I initially set
up to showcase my passion to others
solely for the fact that I was getting
it’s a gratification maybe pursue
photography for the wrong reasons my
Instagram account was supposed to be a
simple
volume what I love to do but instead it
turned into a medium of some trails and
another example ever the prospect
I’ve been running across country for
five years now and the first spirit I
was I was so but I still got some medals
my first year I ran being announced at
cross-country Invitational easily one of
the biggest prospects Phoenix in the
world
and I don’t remember the details but I’m
pretty sure there’s an even mirror to
finish the Rings
I still got a special achievement met
it’s to that occasion I do something I
instantly receive my prize regardless of
performance that’s complex don’t get
medals for losing anymore
it’s the winning despite losing and what
now confronted with the hard loss no
prize given well as hard night but what
most do not realize that they call the
buggy was narcissistic and entitled is
that behind our outer image is that we
are extremely sensitive and extremely
fat and that area fertility comes from
Irish to instant gratification well just
look at you can’t even wait a few
seconds for a page to load online but
those extra seconds they’re nothing when
the Wi-Fi is down and we absolutely
cannot get what we want
whether you want it all hell breaks
loose my generation is so addicted to
[Music]
it’s ratification and when we are
confronted with hard reality life 70
becomes to be put on that tech tip that
we can do what we want
pew who we want to inject what we want
when we want it if we believe enough bad
news it’s not that easy and that abuse
is it so easy for us to realize either
because we turn negative in our pants
and ran max take the workplace for
exactly well we’re the most educated
generation as 27 percent of a bachelor’s
degree or higher in fact our median
earnings are about two thousand dollars
less than our counterparts in 1980 so to
be honest the lowest value lifestyles
that incorporate work with our
passionate activities on other’s work is
no longer everything for us we adopt a
work to live not live to work and tell
us we want to make an impact to work
that gives us a sense of achievement but
then again we also want to include
comfortable chairs in context but it all
ties down for this idea it’s an instant
gratification we choose the work that
gives us that that that’s what we want
to make an impact because when we do we
get that sense of achievement we’ve been
chasing or a lot of us but the issue the
biggest issue is that this to that
education is now all we were system we
want more I was magic dopamine releasing
madness so we sleep with that woman
who’s next to our backs we sit in
classes in meetings with their phones on
the table not tucked away because we’re
awaiting another text or another like
another notification and that’s also why
Millennials 40%
of Millennials today we initially
promoted regardless of performance every
two years we’ve grown up not having to
wait for anything
and from our addiction to crisis and
life’s there’s another problem other
than the fact that were so annoying we
have started to learn who we really are
in order to fit the image of someone
else you see to get more instant
gratification from our daily lives we
try to change what minutes we are to get
one Prince and to get more response we
think that we are not up to par and as
I’m classmates and friends we think that
we’re not smart enough you know athletic
enough not able enough to pursue what we
really want to do and in the end we end
up pursuing someone else’s because
history gives a more less than one pop
that we end up pursuing someone else’s
dream because she gets more prizes
morning jobs more confidence it’s
astonishing how quickly we have got this
foreign dream as our economics the hard
work and patience are important values
but we end up choosing what feels good
in what’s easiest in the moment and many
times copying someone else is easier
than it is to develop our own character
and personality
so the narcissistic image of millennium
was therefore is one of them retired
people call us containment nice
because they were obsessed about us
that’s not true
well oftentimes we think be honest we
don’t like when we are recessed
antechamber ourselves and putting on a
false aside for more less and more
attention and that’s not right that’s
what we all need to realize it’s time to
take a break it’s time to slow down and
think about the long one of the most
valuable lessons I’ve ever learned is to
domain my immediate responses you know
the in other words it’s stop and think
before launching exact I think you can
power of social media we’ll get to more
friends and in our real own conversation
and it doesn’t stop there and we also
realize that we don’t need to fulfill
this addition to its to ratification our
being someone we’re not to impress
others we can fight for your happiness
and written fulfillment developing
character will take a really really long
time but in the long term
we’ll just really be ourselves after all
if we spend time trying to be someone
else
Oh Ruby yourselves be worth therefore
the greatest happiness in greatest
success lies in pursuing who we are to
be honest we can overcome to an extent
our addiction to instant gratification
just thinking
you see the long not just as lectern and
for me at least when I keep my phone
away at dinner table at school days and
consciously remind myself but there is a
greater meaning pursuing real
relationships and take much longer to
develop than a spy prank or a double tap
sure I won’t get an instant response
that I would have gone online but in the
long run in the long time this is worth
a barrel [Applause]
