MEDITATION
Last time we begun talking on the future.
We spoke on how important the future actually is for a person in the leadership role.
Well, today, we are here to focus on not placing so much effort and focus on the future.
The future is still extremely important for any leader but the future still remains to be very uncertain. And due to that level of uncertainty, a leader should not solely prioritize the future.
Similar to how it is always advised to not live in the past, you should also not live in the future.
The future should always just be looked towards. Because with the future comes change and possibility and growth, which we should all take in high regard and look forward to.
If you have any further views and comments on what was discussed today, please drop a comment or e-mail us at
We love all and any feedback.
Next time, we'll be getting into the correct use of the future as a way to inspire and motivate us.

SOCIETY
We've been asking a few questions lately about being a leader of high influence in today's society. We have asked these questions because now more than ever the corruption and greed that our current leaders possess is more transparent as the Corona virus has shown the cruel injustices and inequalities we have.
So as leaders we began questioning and discussing if we need to be as greedy and corrupt as the current leaders in power in order to have that position.
In our last post we gave one answer to this question.
And today we will give the other answer to the question.
Machiavelli was a highly influential philosopher and in his most famous work, 'The Prince' he teaches that a leader should be feared and wicked.
He had seen that those that are unjust and immoral were the most feared and the people who were always getting ahead. He would answer that we have to be as corrupt and greedy as our leaders or even more, if we ever want to reach such positions.
We at GENERATION Y interpreted as, a leader should be able to do corrupt and unjust actions not as a way of leading but rather to equal out the playing field. That you should be ready to lie if needs be in order to push towards your cause.
What are your views on Machiavelli's points and answer? If you agree with him or not? Send us your feedback at

POETRY
In light of everything happening in the world, mainly America. We would just like to give George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and any other victim to race-based police brutality or any other form of discrimination based on race a moment.
Today's poem is written by Claude McKay, the poem was written after 'Red Summer'. Which was a point in time near WWI where there was a massive amount of lynching of people of color in America. We are shocked and disgusted that a poem written a hundred years ago is discussing an issue that is still as prominent as it was back then.
INSPIRATION
On a lighter note, we are very excited about today's shoutout.
Mark Joseph Huckabee is a fellow blogger whose blog is all about leadership.
