Me, Me, Me is Not a Voice Exercise

A board that I serve on recently read an article from Time magazine about the Me Me Me generation - the Millennials. This group is the generation now in their 20s and the article focused on some of their disturbing characteristics:

• They suffer from narcissistic personality disorder at 3 times the rate of people over 65.
• 40% of them believe they should be promoted every 2 years regardless of performance.
• They average 85 pictures of themselves in their homes.
• 60% of them will make important moral decisions based on what "feels right."

Hopefully, you can begin to understand the implications for society and the future of the U.S. and they are not good. 

Contrast the stuff the Millennials are apparently made of with the generation that reached their 20s in the 1940s. The Greatest Generation defeated the Nazis and the Japanese and then built the greatest economic engine the world has ever seen. With nuclear, chemical and biological weapons proliferating around the world, Islamic terrorism, North Korea, Iran, etc., etc. the future of the this country does not look like a cake walk. While a number of the Millennials are up to the task of doing what it takes to assure the survival of America, I hope the rest will be able to put down their cell phones down and do their part too or it could be very rough sledding for all of us.
