Why you think so differently? It's not your fault!
1. Millennials (1981-1996): "Find purpose. Break the 9-to-5. "Burnt out from chasing dreams and paying rent.
2. Gen Z (1997-2012): "Question everything. Mental health over hustle." Raised online. Fighting for peace in a noisy world.
3. Gen Alpha (2013-Present): "Born digital. Raised by screens." The first generation with AI as a sibling.
4. Baby Boomers (1946-1964): "Work hard, stay loyal, the system will reward you." Built the system... now watching it crumble.
5. Gen X (1965-1980): "Trust no one. Figure it out yourself." The forgotten generation but the backbone of change.
