When I was a kid, I received bad advice. For example, it was common to encourage kids to get a job, work hard and move up the corporate ladder.
That may have worked for my grandparents’ generation. But corporations in my time were ruthless, gutless, and devoid of any sense of loyalty. Following the advice was a recipe for burnout and disappointment.
I think about this now in terms of my own kids. I can give them advice that would have helped me. But will the world they inherit turn that advice against them in turn?
