I surely didn't read Jacui's blog post and see any excuses at all. Since the initial request, or challenge, was mine, you should be more embarrassed for me. Methinks it was simply a way to see if it were indeed possible to tivo-oneself ahead 30+ years, before the years happened, to see if you could predict these life altering events. I think most would guess 9-11, the internet, etc...but I thought her comments on helicopter parents, even divorce is spot on. What are the events in YOUR life that have impacted YOU the most?

While her article may seem helpful, all I hear are excuses and a victim mindset all too common. As a Gen X’er, I too had to finally grow up and live in the real world. That’s not to say we can’t keep our individualism and try to make things better for others and ourselves; rather working together to do it and not just “my” way. Thank goodness the light bulb gets brighter as do we… I’m embarressed for the Jacqui Tom. While her article may seem helpful, all I hear are excuses and a victim mindset all too common.
