Today I will share about a new knowledge for us about Strawberry Generation.
Since, I have been reading this interesting topic from my local newspaper.
Let's start...
So, What is exactly the Strawberry Generation itself?
According to the writer of this column (Prof. Rhenald Kasali),
we are the young generation, we are the Strawberry Generation.
Well, this explanation is not satisfy me enough then I tried to search it in the internet.
So, it explains that Strawberry Generation is a Chinese neologism for Taiwanese
who born in between 1980 and 1990. At the first, this generation was labelled to Taiwanese only,
but now it was adapt to X generation especially in Asia.

Why it is labelled as Strawberry?
That is because this generation grown up in the better environment,
as you can see strawberry is a fruit which vegetate in a green house , or in the good weather,
which is not too hot and not too cold.
Then the other reason, strawberry is known for their beauty, delicacy, and also high price,
but in other hand strawberry is also known as a fruit which easy to get defect.
So, it was subset from this generation which is weak even though they are smart
and have amazing the way of thinking but they are can not stand with pressure, difficulties, and disappointment.
Back to the local newspaper I have read. The writer gave an example when he met
the young executive in the company which the condition was deadlock.
The writer said that he was impressed by the idea of the young executive,
which was the idea according to the writer is out of the box.
However, when the last session of question and answer, his facial expression was change.
He was looked that he could not accept the situation,
which the situation is others criticism about his idea.
Then, not so long time ago, he (the writer) met again with that young executive.
Then he (the young executive) said that he was move to other company,
that is because he felt that he was attacked in that meeting,
which in the old generation get attack in the meeting is something usual.
In short, the writer thought that Strawberry Generation did not know how complicated
the battlefield the old generation faced.
So guys...do you believe that you are look like strawberry???
Or you are disagree with this topic???
From my point of view...the one know who you are is only you not the others.
So, if you making a mistake or people disagree with you do not force them to trust you.
But you have to increase it...because sometimes we can said the truth about others
but we can not accept when people said something truth about us....
