A fun video infographic illustrating the unique Millennial generation and how they are changing the way many companies are marketing themselves.

Millennials are the most riveting generation that there is. You are the take charge generation, the ones that can do anything you can dream of on any of the many electronics they grew up with!

Etiquette: Is it a lost art?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIVE1mb8QJ4

There is a huge gap when it comes down to how the different generations view and use etiquette.Teenagers and young adults view etiquette in a totally different light than adults over the age of fifty? 

I am over sixty years old, and this is what I am observing, am I correct in my observation? Please Share your thoughts with me.

Can you HEAR ME, SEE ME, or am I invisible?

Does anyone talk to each other anymore? Or is it a lost art? Would you please share your feelings about this with me? When did we lose the ability to carry on a conversation with another person?

Why is it that all Millennials think they can do nothing wrong, and that they are the only ones that matter in this world! Please share if you agree with this question, or would like to share your view on this!

Is the right choice working for another or yourself?

For some people it is a very easy decision to make, and for others it is not worth the hassle of doing everything for yourself and your business. Are some of us lazier than others, or do we have less drive than others? Which would you prefer to do?

A 25 year old acquaintance just told me he quit his startup of two years because “it felt too much like work.” What? Run that by me again, because these old ears don’t understand the logic. He told me the company is doing fine and the rest of the five person team are as dedicated as ever. He just wants to take a break and do his own thing. I thought he was doing his own thing!

I’ve never heard of someone quitting their own company because it felt too much like work. Is this something you would do? If so, please share “WHY” with me!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS.

I would really like to "Thank" all of you who have taken the time to share your thoughts and feelings with me on these posts that are important to me. It is funny how things you never thought about before suddenly become important to you when you realize how old you really are, and how the time has just slipped by. So again, let me say "Thank you", and if you would like to respond to this I would be honored once again to receive your comments. 

HOORAY!!! You Have to Turn Them Off in Some Situations.

Come on people, there has to be some kind of common courtesy that is used when you are in a public restaurant, or coffee shop.You can do what you waqnt when it does not inconvenience others, but when the rudeness of this magnitude comes out, it sets many peoples teeth on edge. This is one of the main things that gives you youngsters the bad rap. Share your thoughts on this great poster someone who was frustrated made for all of us!!

PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT REMEMBER THE SITE I FOUND THIS ON, BUT I GIVE KUDOS TO THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

If You Look at Nothing Else on my Blog, this is a MUST!!!

Online Dating Etiquette

Unfortunately, standards of honesty tend to slip when using this faceless method of communication.

Regrettably, men’s manners have regressed behind this shield of anonymity and women have reacted by raising barriers of caution during online dating.

The men have then become craftier in their deception and women more wary.

Nevertheless, deceptions do still occur and both sexes are guilty of this.

Consequently, a new set of ‘rules’ have evolved, toprotect women in particular, from nasty experiences and to make online dating more friendly, civilized and safe for them.

But sometimes men are the victims too.

This is just the beginning, as you read further down the things they discuss are hilarious. I am not kidding, just check them out and have a laugh at the lengths the desperate people looking for love have gone to.  

Opening The Door

Another Courtesy that has gone by the wayside.

There are times throughout every day of your life when you have to make a choice of whether to use good etiquette or be a clod. Please, for the sake of humanity and civility, take the high road and be a lady or gentleman. Even under the most trying of situations, it isn’t that much more difficult, and you’ll feel better later if you do the right thing.

In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. Whether it be the lady they were driving, or a stranger entering a building, it was always the done thing. This has now almost entirely vanished – and it is not entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women sneer at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism. My advice in this case is to smile at the sneering lady and open the door anyway.

This is another lost manner that we really do need to bring back, just for decency!

Writing Thank-you Notes

In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you as soon as possible. This rule was true even if the giver was a relative. Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you notes. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be scoffed at. If you ignore every other item on this list, at least try to teach your children to write thank you notes – they will have a greater appreciation of gifts they receive.

When people had a wedding or a special occasion party in the past, they would never have considered having a “gift registry”. To do so would be tantamount to asking people for a gift – which is extremely rude even today. It would also have been considered rude to say something like “no gifts” as it implies that gifts are an expected obligation. Wedding invitations did not mention gifts – they did not ask for them and they did not include such silly things as “no gifts!” or worse still “donations to [insert charity no one cares about except you] in lieu of gifts”

Great Quotes Never Go Out of Style.

Truer words have never been spoken! It just isn't the younger generation that has forgot their manners, it is all of us from the boomers on down. In fact I have seen my share of really rude boomer, and I am ashamed to admit that they are my age, because I would swear that they are still in grade school! Let me know if you have noticed the same thing of my generation, OK?

Millennials Amazing Boomers With Their Technology.

When I found this cartoon I was in heaven!! This describes me and my stubbornness that I didn't need anything to do with technology. Then, I started back to college at 64 years old, and never been on a computer - WOW!!! You young people are truly amazing to me. I realize that you were raised on technology, but you still amaze me, and any comments you care to make to this stubborn old dinosaur I would welcome.

Boomers and Millennials can be Great Friends.

I found this picture and it fits with my life and my friends, many of whom are young enough to be my children. We have a lot in common after we get to know each other a little, and we do away with the stereotypes that say we can't be friends because we can't possibly have anything in common. What about you, do you have friends that span different ages or are you one of the people who are sure you can't possibly have fun with someone with gray hair?

Do Baby Boomers & Millennials share any values?

I have the greatest respect for the generations trying to coincide and learn from each other. Just think how amazing the combination of experiences would be if given the chance to grow into a hybrid of exponential potential. Share your thoughts with me on this subject if you think I am on to something, or off my rocker!

Why Baby Boomers and Millennials Make Great Teams

Much has been written stereotyping both the millennial and baby-boomer generations, but the real insight lies in how they work together – if given the right environment. Rather than buy into the oil-and-water view, I propose a different view of this inevitable mixing. I see vibrant, powerful opportunity due to the overlapping nature of what each group needs and wants, and what each has to give.

I found this article very interesting for a variety of reasons, the main one is that they do make great teams if given the chance. Both sides have to give a little and once they do, things are great. Please click on the link and let me know what you think.

Arriving on Time

Punctuality the Manner we Forgot About!

I don't know when the phrase "fashionably late" became popular and regularly practiced, but it has taken off with abandon. In fact, if you're prone to promptness like me, chances are you'll be the only person at any given party for at least a half-hour after the indicated start time. That's because arriving extremely late has become the standard. The only time a late arrival may be acceptable is when it's a cultural norm among your family, friends or social group. 

This seemed a fitting item to follow the previous: in the olden days it was rude to arrive late. There was no such thing as being “fashionably late”. Lateness was rudeness – always. In most houses, if you were invited to dinner and turned up 15 minutes late, you would end up eating alone in the kitchen surrounded by the household staff, only to be allowed to join the party when the polite guests (who arrived on time) had finished and were retiring for the evening’s entertainment.

This is the kind of article that stresses the importance of some manners or etiquette that should never be taken for granted no matter your age, or your station in life. 

 Millennials in the Workplace Training Video

I found this great video, I would really love for you to click on the site and watch it too. After you do let me know if you appreciated all of the humor and learning experiences done on both sides of the table. I really think that this is reality for both generations in the learning curve of understanding one another. Do you agree or disagree?

Quotes that really are true, and would benefit many if they were only followed and not read and forgotten! I learned this lesson many years ago when I was quite young and applying for one of my first jobs. I was interviewing for a position with a person with a college degree, I was told that I got the position because I knew what manners were, and how to use them! What do you think about this quote, do you agree with it? Share what you think with me.

Manners & Etiquette are two constants of Society.  

This is all only my opinion, along with the person who designed the poster.I saw this poster and loved the message it gave. Is it only because of my age that I agree with the message it gives, or do you agree with the message? I really believe that there are more young people with manners than there are without. Share what you feel about this with me please.

MANNERS AND ETIQUETTE

COPYRIGHT 2003 The Gale Group Inc.

MANNERS AND ETIQUETTE go hand in hand, but are not the same. Etiquette is a set of rules dealing with exterior form. Manners are an expression of inner character. Manners are common sense, a combination of generosity of spirit and specific know-how. Rules of etiquette are the guiding codes that enable us to practice manners.

Most would agree that rather than being stiff, rigid rules, proper etiquette is meant to help people get along with each other and avoid conflict. Respect, kindness, and consideration form the basis of good manners and good citizen-ship. Etiquette becomes the language of manners. Rules of etiquette cover behavior in talking, acting, living, and moving; in other words, every type of interaction and every situation.
