A generation of takers. What exactly do you contribute to society ? Gen Y have no class, no respect, no people skills and no humility or tact. Did you also chew gum while you took the beer ? I suppose on your way to the meeting you cut a dozen people off in the traffic and didn't offer a wave to say thanks either. Hopefully the next GenZ will balance out the shortcomings of the Gen-Y nothing-generation Yers that came before them. I am a Gen X and I was happy to earn my stripes in the business world and I got a long way by respecting people that had earned theirs before me. I wouldn't take the beer. You reap what you sow. People don't forget things like that and these things have a funny way of getting you back. You get the beer, but you lose the respect. You just don't get it.

You just don’t get it.

On one hand I thought go for it, but then I stopped for a moment and thought how much your article reminded me of the young bull & the old bull story. Whilst you may have had a small win in the negotiation now, sometimes it's better to make small concessions along the way which builds deposits in people's emotional bank accounts & as Chanelle says, "can lead to other, greater opportunities." I encourage you to go after what you want, but give in to small concessions from time to time and you will find that the people who can help you achieve your goals (especially mentors & role models) will go out of their way to help you.

If it's beer, that's an easy one but as life or generational question, that's a tough one. Sammy, to ‘know what you want’ is the hardest part.

I can see both sides of this issue. On one hand, you want to take exactly what you want when you want it because opportunity may not come knocking twice. On the other hand, respect shown to elders can lead to other, greater opportunities. Interesting perspective. I can see both sides of this issue.

Mate, opportunites will normally only present themselves once & sometimes you have to be prepared to do things that may appear selfish or make you unpopular. Stay focussed, because whilst you're achieving your goals there will be other times where you can shout them all Coronas. Sammy, you’re making me thirsty.
