They Said
Try it, they said…
You’ll like it, they said…
I tried it.
Screw this.
Who are they?
Dumbasses…
With too much time on their hands.
Those who do, before they think.
Adventurers…
Risk takers,
Those of vision…
Idiots.
If it doesn’t look good to me…
I ain’t doing it.
If it doesn’t look edible…
I ain’t eating it.
You want to do it…
Be my guest.
Just don’t include me.
As a matter of fact,
Just leave me out of this equation.
Be bold, be daring…
Live life.
Just let me know where to send the damn flowers.

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
