Is It Ethical To Make Millions Off Poverty? [Blog Action Day] E-mail

Profiting off poverty? Can you sip Pina Colada's in Cabo while also building Community Centers in Calcutta?

Could such a thing ever be ethical, or more importantly beneficial for society at large? That's exactly what many of us in Generation Breakthrough are poised to prove in our lives.

 
Good Dog Syndrome and How to Unleash Your Success E-mail

I tell my dog that he's a good boy about a million times a day. I think it makes him happier. But like my dog, whom I'm convinced is just a person in a fur suit, when real people still require that level of constant approval, they too might as well be domesticated house pets stuck on a short leash. The need for positive feedback, what I call "Good Dog Syndrome", can drastically hold us back from ever making any real progress.

 
What The Economic Crisis Means to Gen Y (Are you a grasshopper or an ant?) E-mail

“Are we too young to remember The Great Depression?”

Catherine Rampell asked this very intriguing question in the title of her NewYorkTimes.com article yesterday. Although her article didn’t say much, her poignant question sparked some great comments from others.

One commenter noted the VERY OLD Aesop’s Fable about “The Grasshopper And The Ants”, made into a Disney cartoon in 1934, and how it relates to the current economic crisis. I vaguely recalled watching this cartoon as a kid and found it on youtube to watch it again. The ants work hard all year to scrimp and save for the winter, while the grasshopper plays his fiddle all summer. Inevitably, come winter, the grasshopper is freezing and starving, and must knock on the ants’ door for help.

Grrrrr. Having trouble creating a smooth career or business based on your passion? Me too! Maybe we’re misunderstanding how to use our passion most effectively.

Passion is an essential part of young peoples’ lives today. Although we preach about using your passion in an entrepreneurial way, Generation Breakthrough is about much more. It may work for many in our generation to use their passion in business, or even start small businesses based on your passion. However, just as we recognize that climbing the ladder isn't the best or only pathway to success, we must also realize the ironic concept that entrepreneurially pursuing your passion may not be the best way to pursue it!

 
Should I Quit My Job? 11 Signs of a Dead-End Job in Disguise E-mail
Written by Tiffany Ford

How do you know if you’re in a dead-end position? Many people assume that dead-end jobs are simply jobs that cannot lead to a promotion, like a paper route, or flipping burgers, or a file clerk. However, these days there are tons of dead-end jobs in the guise of good opportunities that are fooling Gen Y-ers.
