Well, what exactly does make millennials fail at work?

It is not, contrary to what you think, all of the negative popular opinions that rush to mind instantaneously. It is not the fact that millennials are called self-absorbed, or that they are commended for breaking old traditions in favor of the new. It is not their lofty ambitions, nor their idealistic dreams.

It is, rather, the fact that they have been taught time and again that happiness is something achieved through external success.

They keep moving, even when they are somewhere great. They stay unthinkably busy--moving without cessation.

When millennials start listening in the flurry of constant distraction--when they finally stop--only then will they be able to truly succeed.
