I could not agree more that we need to learn from and make the best of the contributions from all generations. The differences should be seen as an advantage and an opportunity. I like your Jim Carrey quote! Hi Carleen, thanks for your comment. I could not agree more that we need to learn from and make the best of the contributions from all generations.

It is past time to realize that American business is in trouble and inter-generational comparisons are simply a waste of good time. We must pull together and use the best contributions from the wisest of each generation. For example, the traditionalists' experience is one way to be wise; The boomer's extraoridinary record of innovation is another way to be wise; By virtue of their smaller demographics, size will be an advantage for the educated among the Gen X'ers, so you might say Gen X'ers can find their advantages if/when they are education wise. Gen Y'ers are technology wise....Add it up. You need us all. Vive la difference! Be careful with facts that you quote! What is, after all, TRUTH?
