Comparing with the ordinary people, Adam always put up a stellar performance when he studied in school, and then he got a steady job with satisfied salary and insurance. His parents are proud of his success as he growing up. But he is still worried, and he don’t like his job, and he want to quit it to find his own affairs that he is into. Like most people, he also got FOMO when he binge-watched the his friends’ moments , facebook or instagram, which even made him anxious. As far as I am concerned, we are in the fast-developed world now, it’s not easy for people to focus on one thing for good. So new generation rather chase the favorite job than do what their parents want they do. They are “purpose generation”, if they do what they care about, they will do it better than you thought. So don’t be compared with people around you, find you own target, try to hustle and fight for what you want. It is not impossible in this world.

His parents are proud of his success as he was growing up. But he is still worried, and he doesn’t like his job, and he wants to quit it to find his own affairs/interests that he is into. Like most people, he also got FOMO when he binge-watched the his friends’ moments, Facebook or Instagram, which even made him anxious. As far as I am concerned, we are in a fast-paced world now, it’s not easy for people to focus on one thing forever. So the new generation would rather chase their dreams/find their favorite job than do what their parents want them to do. They are “purpose generation”, if they do what they care about, they will do it better than you thought. So don’t try to compare with people/those around you, find your own target, try to hustle and fight for what you want. It is not impossible in this world.
