The Y gen, or the Millennial generation can be summarized in eight attitudes
“I want it fast, and I want it now.”
“I value experience; my friends are credible sources of information.”
“I prefer to do things in groups. I look to family and friends for advice and validation of my choices.”
“People care about what I say, where I am, and what I am doing.”
“Show me the technology!”
“I am socially networked and hyperconnected.”
“I care about myself and the planet. I strive to be clean and green.”
“The world is my oyster.”

Your example
It seems that there is a very specific area in the brain which could be called poetic memory and which records what has charmed us, what has moved us, what gives our life its beauty.
Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity... It is, in short, the subject of the history of the Grail. Only a predestined being has the ability to ask another: what is your torment? And he doesn't have it when he enters life. He has to go through years of dark night.

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.

Almost everyone in the world is self-absorbed within themselves. They regard themselves as the most important beings. People rarely speak bad about themselves. They are the heroes in their own story no matter how much entanglement of lies and bullshit is needed to achieve a gratifying and satisfying version of the tale.
By observing their actions, you could trace back their thought pattern, intentions, interest, and vision. Stop for a moment and analyze the action. Stop caring about what they say, what they think about how the world should be, how everyone can execute their best, or why the world is so messed up. They speak whatever hell it takes to sound amazing. Listen to their actions. Listen only and only to their actions.
We all have forests on our minds. Forests unexplored, unending. Each one of us gets lost in the forest, every night, alone.
