generation behaviour

few years ago when working at one of the project at gebeng,kuantan i had came across with two young fresh engineer which reluctant to use motorbike to supervise our project site. one give medical reason but another didnt give any reason.

even when we recall of our earlier days using motobike also didnt go through their ear.

with so much pressure from me and my bos they still dont want, even dont want to take key of motorbike.
after longand long bashing, finally one of them take but i never saw him ride the bike. during that conversation i had say, i dont care what and how they going to site but at anytime i want to see him at site and dont want to hear any problem from him.
later i saw him go to our site project by either use other person fourwheel jeep or go with somebody else. he will made arrangements to made sure he will be at site.more things improved after that.

why he made such stand?
status of engineer? or embarassed to his other college somewhere?or his father are billionaire?

later i found out it was just issue of generation behaviour.
generations of more entertaiment, new gadgets,movies, sports and internet.
even it was not all behave like that but majority are.
they wont care much about work hard etc.what they want are some money so that they can continue with their entertainment. no feeling of work, responsiblity and bla..bla...

can we change them? YES
How? constant pressure and reminder. but bos will always had high blood pressure when manage and dealing with these kind of young people.

finally when we meet again on another college marriege ceremony years later, i can saw how much more he chance. become more resposible and furthermore he now a father with one daughter.
and even thank for what i 'did' to him and tell story of staff under him now. whwt goes around go around lah.

nothing wrong being young and rebelious but everybody have responsiblity.
reposiblity to work,superior, teamates etc but most important, reposiblity to himself.
