“

1. You can’t read them.
As a group they’ve mastered the skill of being quiet and obedient no matter how insane the adults around them. As a result, you can’t tell what exactly they’re thinking at work. No matter what, they’ll have you convinced that everything is fine until they quit.

…

3. They are overqualified.
This generation is hardworking, enthusiastic, and extremely over-schooled. They think faster than we do. They can do much more on their own than we can think of assigning them. There is a serious gap between their abilities and the challenges given to them in the workplace.

““When I think about kids watching a TV show like American Idol or The Voice, then they think, ‘Oh, OK, that’s how you become a musician, you stand in line for eight f****** hours with 800 people at a convention center and then you sing your heart out for someone and then they tell you it’s not f****** good enough.’ It’s destroying the next generation of musicians! Musicians should go to a yard sale and buy an old f****** drum set and get in their garage and just suck. No two people play the same. Even if you’re playing the same song on the same instrument as somebody else, you will play it differently because you are you. And that’s a good thing! All of your imperfections and all of your bad habits give you your own sound and style. Music’s not meant to be perfect. It’s meant to sound like the way you do it. When you put human beings together with other human beings to make music you get magic.””

“FleishmanHillard will seek to be ‘channel agnostic,’ Mr. Senay said, an industry term meaning to be objective about the various forms of communication, whether paid, owned, earned or shared, to reflect ‘how the public consumes media today.’”

“The Stylebook no longer sanctions the term “illegal immigrant” or the use of “illegal” to describe a person. Instead, it tells users that “illegal” should describe only an action, such as living in or immigrating to a country illegally….Earlier [discussions] led us to reject descriptions such as “undocumented,” despite ardent support from some quarters, because it is not precise. A person may have plenty of documents, just not the ones required for legal residence.”

Farming and Facebook (or Pinterest)

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:59:04 -0400

A great piece in Flying Kite, about Philadelphia flower farmer Jenny Love, and her use of social media. She especially uses Pinterest, and I thought her ability to predict trends with the site was facinating:

Love turns to Pinterest to identify trends and pays close attention to the metrics of her own boards and blog to better understand market demands. If photos of white anemones or pink poppies or orange ranunculus are getting the most re-pins, she can track the trend and plant the seeds.

How cool is that???
