American youth change their view of success in life

Young people in America redefine success in life and turn their focus from wealth to health, and this does not mean that young people do not care about money, but they do not necessarily care about wealth, nor with social status.

During his university studies, 27 -year -old Cole Smith aspired to be one of the most prominent pioneers of data analysis even if that work requires 80 hours per week, but now he is not sure of this.

“I was concerned about reaching the age of 40 or 50 years of age and the absence of any interests outside the work,” said Smith, who participated with his older brother in the establishment of the “Weissor” website for the purchase of cars. The American young man, who loves to run and spend time with his fiancée, adds that his priorities have changed, and that success lies in a more “comprehensive” life.

Wealth, social status and work are no longer the gold standard to determine success for people who have not yet reached middle age. Instead, American young people rank physical and mental health as the best successful measure, and wealth came in the fifth rank, according to a modern survey of adults between the ages of 18 and 34 years.

This represents a “generation of generation”, says the director of the global “Center for Cultural Vision”, Marcei Meriman, who participated in composing a global study on adulthood.

The survey of the Internet and social media arose, and they have greater access to information and lifestyles compared to previous generations, browsing the news, listening to the “podcast”, and watching videos to find out how others succeed or fail before they reach middle age, which is usually known as 40 to 60 years.

Giving priority to physical and mental health reflects what these young people have learned.

The Kofid-19s was reminded of the millennium generation of the good healthy nature, and motivated a group movement to work from the home. “This opens their eyes to other less tired and standardized options for success,” says Zach Deschatwald, 35, who is looking for global generation and cooperation through geography.

This age group specifically witnesses the younger American adults also the progress of their parents and their grandparents and their confrontation with chronic diseases that are often associated with malnutrition and lack of physical activity.

Dishwald, who indicates that there are a lot of people who are still wanting to reach the summit of law firms and investment banks and consider this success: “Health is a success in itself.”

Some people found the status and wealth early in their career, but they did not find contentment or happiness. When Natalie Armandaries was in her early twenties, she looked for high -salary jobs such as anesthesia specialists, but she followed her desire to work in the creative field, obtained training in an advertising agency, and her goal is a creative director.

She and her husband, who also works in the field of design, moved to New York, where she followed the advice of workers in this field to move from one agency to another and obtain promotions. The working hours were longer and salary increases continued.

She had prominent customers, which made her feel successful, but this achievement seemed empty, as she was exhausted.

“There was no time to enjoy anything, as if life was only working,” says Armandaries. Finally, the couple returned to their roots in Texas and Asasa, “The Art of the Art”, a small digital design agency that includes 19 employees. They now have a six -year -old child, and they closed their agency for a week every three months to reorganize the work and rearrange the priorities. On the “Wall Street Journal”


Difficult questions

The definition of success often includes asking and answering difficult questions. American Rachel Beck believed that success means marriage and leaving her small town “Dubua” in Indiana, which has a population of 400, which she did in her twenties. She and her husband then moved to New York City, where she worked in government schools as a teacher and advisor, and when her marriage ended, she bought an apartment in Manhattan, who in her eyes was an example of success, and began to roam the world to run in marathon races. Then the epidemic struck the world, its friends moved to different places, and its function was canceled. And she ended her man’s participation in races. “I thought, why are you still here? I realized that returning to my town would look like a failure. ”But when her parents began to suffer health problems, I knew that the most important thing is to be with them.

“I create a gradual change in success,” says Beck, who is now 45 years old. She adds that it is a personal issue, less related to the expectations of others and achieving traditional goals such as marriage and having children.
