Generation X

Generation X: "Barna" An old Gen X article but applicable. I resonated with these rules ... New Rules George Barna has gleaned a set of "rules" that define and direct youth of the mid- and late-90s: Rule #1: Personal relationships count. Institutions don't. Rule #2: The process is more important than the product. Rule #3: Aggressively pursue diversity among people. Rule #4: Enjoying people and life opportunities is more important than productivity, profitability, or achievement. Rule #5: Change is good. Rule #6: The development of character is more crucial than achievement. Rule #7: You can't always count on your family to be there for you, but it is your best hope for emotional support. Rule #8: Each individual must assume responsibility for his or her own world. Rule #9: Whenever necessary, gain control and use it wisely. Rule #10: Don't waste time searching for absolutes. There are none. Rule #11: One person can make a difference in the world but not much. Rule #12: Life is hard and then we die; but because it's the only life we've got, we may as well endure it, enhance it, and enjoy it as best we can. Rule #13: Spiritual truth may take many forms. Rule #14: Express your rage. Rule #15: Technology is our natural ally.
