I’ve been reading
many, many articles
about how the next generations
(i.e. new grads)
don’t have strong work ethics.
I don’t know where these rumors start.
A couple of weekends ago,
I was at a writers conference.
Call it the Twilight phenom
but I have never seen so many teens
in the audience.
These teens were not simply dreamers.
They’d written novels,
300 page plus novels.
I know what it takes
to write a 300 page novel
on your own.
That is darn close
to starting up a small company
or launching a new product.
THAT is the next generation.
Were you writing 300 page novels
at the age of 14?
I sure wasn’t.
So I am very, VERY optimistic
about the future.
