I probably understood to wich generation i belong...

In the past 6 month I was reading a lot about Gen Y and other related content... I also subscribed to some online update around the topic and I was compulsively try to understan wheter I belong to Gen Y or not....

Somenthing changed in the last few days... you know this kind of ancestral research end up in a new concept... there is another generation wich exist and I probably belong to this:

Generation C

But what is this Generation C?

They are called also "digital natives"... just reading this I discovered I'm not part of it :)

I'm not digitally savvy at all...haha... people who know me knows!

I have also another important thought: why we should separate people on the base of generations?

isn't it something that create divisions? isn't it something discriminating?

The answer for me it's easy... this world is full of discriminations and generations division is just a small drop on the sea.

Today we see that several revolutions are happening around us because of discrimination; discrimination in the last centuries was taking on the places of other important things like love, equality, sharing, learning etc...

What if we stop to talk about Generations? And we just accept that we belong to one unique world, to one unique generation?

We always want to have our freedom, to realize our dream, to feel part of something big... but what if we just start to think that in achieving all this we are not taking care of what we uncosciously deny to other people around us?

I think that at the end there is one truth: People that live in the way they like and people that don't....

Who is the victim and who is the executioner?

The virdict it's our's.

Gen Y at work...

This small video sounds useful and interesting to understand a bit more about how to deal with Generation Y people at work...

A day with Generation Y people...

Since energy is the most important source of activity for people, genaration Y people are actually very good in generating energy within themselves...

1. if 1 sleep all the other are sleeping

2. if 1 sing all the other sing

3. if 1 jump all the other jump

It is very very normal to see people which in the second part of the day (early afternoon) they generate a huge peak of energy and activity!

They have phisichal energy in huge quantity and they are able to address it only in one single task, only in 1 hour or less time it will be spread effecting the world around them...

Mental energy and phisical energy are strictly connected and at time one of the 2 is over also the other will not exist anymore.

Influence those people mood or sentiment it is very easy because they are very concentrated on emotions and relationship so they will be able to listen 100% to someone speaking or to someone promoting whatever activity...although they are super scheptical and they can barely be influenced by external source of stimultion still emotional channel is the first one to settle in order to settle change in their mind.

Looking at the following pictures, we can come out with the idea that people of today (gen Y) influenced 90% of the current market establishing a new concept of product loyalty or brand loyalty: No more favourite brand or to be more precise no Brand! Just love mark!

Status Symbol are not needed anymore, emotions are much important then ever and creating emotions it is also much easier then before because the connection between body and mind it is fast and easy to set.

Change is unsettling for them less then other it just need to be planned and well communicated of course the content should fit some shared values.

Approachig new Generation it is always amzing and fascinating, big corporation are investing bln of $ in order to generate sensefull outcome around the impact of each new generation into their internal structure and culture. Sociologist are the most required profile ever... considering that this generation is 3 times bigger than the small Gen X and it is the most diverse ever!

They will search more for new opportunity of leaving and working standards such as "Transition Economies" (http://transitionnetwork.org) and they will create further more innovative solutions that fit to their values... "They want to put their name on the door".

If any of you like this topic we can discuss it further...

Friends & Friendship Influence

Many people expect that their friends will always be there. They expect friendship to last forever.

Yet, friendships end and friends part company everyday. Unfortunately, even the best maintained friendships can end.

Many end because of a change in personality or lifestyle when friends just drift apart and fade away with time. There is a retreat from self-disclosure and seeking out each other's company. Avoidance begins. The friendship slowly loses importance and finally disappears.

Someone said me, "The end of our friendship was a gradual thing. I moved from one side of the metroplex to the other. We had over an hour's drive to see each other. For a year or so, we met very few time. Then our friendship began to taper off."

Someone else wrote me, "I didn't even know the friendship was over until I caught myself thinking of you as a former friend. In the past tense rather than the present."

One of the best friend explained, "We started seeing each other less and less. The friendship was just over."

Other friendships break up suddenly from a disagreement or move to another town.

But I truly believe that a friendship or any other relationship fails because of three things:

• Unexpressed expectations,
• Undelivered communication,
• And/or thwarted attentions

Yet the biggest threat to a friendship is change.

For example, moving from single life to coupled life has a great effect on friendship. Coupled persons often feel their single friends act interested in them only when a romantic prospect is not in sight. They may feel jealousy for or neglected by a single friend's new social life. The single friend may feel awkward and withdraw from a world of twosomes. Divorced and widowed people often have a feeling of being abandoned by old friends.

And So on... but still all those things are just a state of mind...

Communication, expectation and care are much more important!

In 28 year of my life i just understood this now...

People get crazy vs People are crazy....

Today I was challenging a lot my brain in order to understand why.... why??

Why people make choices? in wich way they do it?

I was observing, i was thinking back to some particular people and situations, and i finally got the idea that in most of those situations people look around and choose in the base of unsignficant reasons.

So I started to further elaborate:

I discovered that people look for examples e.g. Artists, Nobel, Pop Star, Actors and in general whatever people seems to them supercool... this means that People are so deluded and need lives. I was asking to myself: Would people get crazy, over their next door neighbour if they were real nice people? No they wouldn't and it doesn't matter if these people have achieved things, why get crazy over them? But than when I see people getting crazy over the Jonas Brothers and Paris Hilton I think to myself: "grow up".

There are different motivation also for becoming crazy... and I was thinking about people getting crazy because they don't have a good childhood so they think it is right to do bad things; some suffer mental illness some did too many/too much drugs and fried there brains some are from head trauma etc. I'm sure there are a lot more reasons...but the one that comes more often to my mind is because they made bad choices.

So it comes againg to the choice point :) Why choosing on the base of few stupid examples? why never approaching the "average neighbour"?

Is the neighbour available for us...??? we really don't know if we don't try!

Is the neighbour enough brave, cool and intelligent to get in touch with us? We actually don't know if we don't try to speak to him/her...

The final outcome of this very simple daylife challenge, understand that everyone in this world, including the "stupid insignificant" neighbour can give us something...

Which means, NO Prejudice!

Thanks for reading :)

What happen if we start to analize costs and opportunities??

One of the ways to start to effect change in our life and in our environment can be the following:

Level of Costs against Opportunities....

If we can measure the entity of waiver in the moment in which we take a decision than we can obtain this measurable!

Robert Frost used to say: "In front of two roads diverging in a wood, I walked along one less traveled by, and this made the difference"

Which other road he meant to say? A Urban Life? A Job that wouldn't allow him to write about roads, walls and trees?

think about the 'immeasurable opportunity cost for the' humanity if Robert Frost had decided to follow the beaten track...

So finally we can state that decision is a must and it is determining the meaning of our lives!

Don't you think so...?

I'm Back - with a brand new brain...:)

Back from India some weeks ago i just kept quite until today, reflecting about this such particular experience i had in India and about how it really affected me...

Is Danilo today different than one year ago?

Is Danilo today different than 2 years ago?

Is Danilo today different than 5 years ago?

And finally is Danilo today different than 3 month ago?

This reflection is of course about change... thinking and reflecting about change and how we can effect it ... we can't start any discussion and we can't draw any conclusion unless we start from ourself!

So... let's start this new chapter with all the power of effecting change that we have within ourself....
