A few years ago, the American Fast Company published a very interesting long article. It is talking about the latest trend in this century, which can be called “Generation Flux”.
He also gave a short name called "GenFlux".
What is a "current generation"?
This is a new generation, its mark is "turbulence" - this generation is not afraid of turmoil, used to turbulence, and even enjoy in turmoil. We have all heard of turbulence to describe the situation, economy, stock market, and workplace. But we have never heard of turbulence to describe the generation. The author means that this group of people may not only encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, but also may encounter Constant changes, changes, and changes in the industry or society!
In such a generation, it will become more and more difficult to determine what will happen next. For example, who will be the technology leader this year? For example, everyone knows that Nokia, RIM, and Motorola accounted for 64% of the market five years ago. In just five years, Apple and Samsung were defeated. This is just a story that everyone knows, and there are many stories that people don't know.
Also, who will be the next US president? Where will it be the next place where a major earthquake occurred? You will find a strange thing, really, especially in this year, things are getting more and more unpredictable! I want to predict what will happen next, and it has become "Exponentially difficult"! Big things, things in the middle, small things, subtle to everyone's life, work, family, there are many possible "variables" hidden.
How to do?
Want to take advantage of these changes and improve your strength and condition? The most important competitive advantage and the most important personality trait of the “floating generation” is “good action”!
The article mentioned a well-known venture capitalist in China, Patil. He started researching meteorology at the university. Later, he started a business, participated in public affairs, taught, and finally settled in venture capital and finance. The reason why this guy dares to "move" so much is because he is good at analyzing "Chaos". He knows that the most important thing in life is not to "know" where the next step is, but "Enlightenment" life is in "chaos."
The article says that the trait of "floating generation" is to "break" with "moving"; when you are "moving", you are no longer afraid of any turmoil, you are a turbulent person, and you can live easily. In a turbulent world.
In addition, "moving with brakes" is also a kind of psychology. I remember that when I first returned to Taiwan, I was very afraid of "earthquakes". However, there were many earthquakes here, mostly in the morning. In the past two thousand days of writing, I There have been countless times in the morning, because the earthquake table swayed and jumped from the desk, ran to open the door, almost rushed down the stairs... Later I discovered that the best way to restrain this "always earthquake" fear is to be an earthquake. When I came around, I walked around and ran around, and I couldn’t feel the earthquake. This trick sounds stupid, but it can really overcome the fear - when you are "moving", you are not afraid of moving.
Since entering the society, I have continuously read various articles that predict trends. But the trend that has never been read once is even simpler than this "flowing generation".
This instruction is, you don't have to learn anything, just "move up" just fine!
The first step is to examine everything you are "quiet" now.
Change to live and see? Change a motorcycle?
Going to work another way? Or simply change jobs?
The “floating generation” does not have to learn anything. As long as it “moves up”, it is the simplest trend. Perhaps, for some people, it is also the most difficult trend.
In the face of this constantly changing generation, "fairness" is far better than "unchanging".
Don't think too much, people say it like this, let's move!
