Cheerio 1980s-born!

Many people like to judge my generation in a hardly way. Evaluate 1980s-generation-born(七年級生) youth as highflier, less commitment and carpetbag.

Since foreign trade has been the engine of Taiwan’s rapid growth during the past 40 years. The total value of trade increased more then treble in the 1980s compare to 1960s. In the blooming 1980s, our society provide us wealth and comfortable environment. People, who was born in that generation, be afforded bunch of resource in education and enjoyment. What’s more, thanks to the success of world trade, tourism also was one of the popular nationalist consumer goods in Taiwan. Children had a lot of chances to travel abroad and exposure their world views.

My friends and I were almost born in 1980s, great 1980s, deluxe 1980s, diverse 1980s, and democratic 1980s. In 1980s, my lovely country Taiwan was flying. But under this environment what kind of people we will be? For those people who already have stereotyping in their mind to 1980s-born I have different opinion to share. Different people have different defects; it is difficult to group it in one generation. Blast is enough, so I don’t explicate it again. Following are some advantage 1980s-generation-born we take.

First, thinking of innovation. Less pressure from history and life, people open their mind thinking freely. And put their eyes more on the future things. It will not always be a pie in the sky; we can change the plain to miracle.

Second, think internationally and do globally. Since the democratic society and abundant in information, we can catch up every information by internet and medium. And there are more and more foreigner businessmen or students come to Taiwan, the diverse social network creates valuable interaction and enhances people artist appreciation. 1980s-born can adapt to different countries' culture well and respect it. Also we improve the capacity of language, in other hand to said, it is the trend to put us do so.

Third, the student-life become longer, since family has more ability to allow kids taking their education longer and completely. We can plan these years except the professional theory in our major area, also reach some internships to practice what we learned and connect with the real society need. Also join several clubs under your study topic, interest…est., no matter what it is, meet people in different perspective always be fun.

There are not absolutely what we will be good at or under performance to. But there are really some advantages we can take and some admonishes we need to against. It is time to stop criticizing 1980s-born in a very stereotyping way. I am honor and appreciate to be one of the 1980s-born generations. In the future also want to group my team in this generation for design and business area.
