You're awesome. I can't agree more with a lot of this stuff. My decade was very similar in that I found my passion for entrepreneurship, learned that being self-employed is without a doubt the way to go, and that authority figures don't have all the answers. You raise great points. I found myself nodding my head, and smiling the whole time I was reading this. VERY engaging and relatable for me. I know this is an older post, but I read this first because I wanted to learn more about you. Keep it up, Nathan. Great meeting you at SXSW. We can do a lot of big things for years to come!

So that makes me very old. The first decade of this century also brought the gift of the emergence of yet another generation--two delightful grandnephews! (Soon they will be old enough to schlepp around the world with their elderly great-aunt.) At the beginning of the decade I walked the empty streets of DC to see for myself the smoke pouring from the Pentagon. And then on that cold January day at the end of the decade, I witnessing the Inauguration of our first black president. (Ok, I didn't actually get close enough to SEE anything, but I could hear it from Pennsylvania Avenue.) As the new decade was coming into view, I found myself an orphan surrounded by the loving support of tremendous siblings, all of us cherishing the remaining members of a selfless generation (who can now be easily sorted out and identified using the miracle of Picasa!) Each day brings convincing proof that it is no longer my generation that will "change the world," that I am swiftly moving to the end of the line as one of the "last adapters," and that it really is ok NOT to have changed the world in the way we were so sure we would. It is my cohort's time to let go and enjoy the ride! I am confident in handing off the future to the next generation as I drift toward retirement and shuffle to my rocking chair. Judging from my own nieces and nephews and their friends and associates, these young folk will handle the future with (previously) unimaginable creativity, energy, courage and inventiveness. Who knows what challenges the coming decade will bring, but it will be fun to see what this coming generation will make of it.

I wonder how many of your peers could write something similar (many trips overseas, a World Cup, Super Bowl, etc.), starting up and selling a business, and tons more. I remember well playing scrabble on our garden patio in Brussels and the trip to Lyon to see U.S. - Brazil for Confederation Cup. How many students spent too much time in the library and missed life? You took a huge bite of life, loved the taste and won't settle for anything but the smorgasbord it offers. Enjoyed the review, the interview with Beck and your site.
