Are there any characteristics from the older generation you would want the younger ones to learn so they can progress economically?
Time has changed, demand patterns have also evolved. I may not blame some younger ones for their excesses since they may not have enough time to portray the level of meticulousness that the older generation showed, unless for extremely detailed ones. Before now, work started by 8AM for a regular adult and ended by 4PM.

In recent times and with the emergence of expertise and greater productivity being the manure of success and the demand for extra efforts to earn more, most young ones like myself start work by 8AM and even until 9PM we are still working, leaving little or no time for you to even eat home cooked foods and enriching the restaurants, unless of course you are married and your wife does the honors. Not to mention that most jobs available to the young ones have little or no security unlike the time of the older generations, thereby leaving them with no option than to work more in other to retain their spot.

Times have changed, there a lot of opportunities which the younger ones would always love to take to advance more in their career and our parents never did so since they were contented with their government jobs and little pays, the younger ones desire more and go extra-miles, of course at the expense of loosing some core disciplines that would have depicted being more economically minded, but the fact remains that they do not have much of an option, a price must be paid to get to the top.
