Airbnb has destroyed the neighborhood I live in. I live in the center of Warsaw, Poland. Until recently, it was a really nice place to live. There's lots of greenery - squares and parks, great transportation, plenty of bicycles and bike trails, and to top it off, there's a beautiful almost wild Vistula River running through the middle of the city. This is a really cool place. Or rather, it was. Because at the moment housing prices went up terribly, everyone wanted to have an apartment here to rent it out via Airbnb - or for an office. On the weekend it's empty and dead. No one is around except for some occasional tourists - who are delighted that it's so quiet and peaceful, but I'm not thrilled with their behavior. The garbage cans in the yard are filled with almost new furniture from IKEA, because renting under Airbnb requires nice furniture all the time. It's much more expensive in stores. I can't say anything good about Airbnb.

Humility goes a long way when it comes to "lecturing" young people. It also spreads downward, where when you have the leadership in the company comprise of humble people, the rest of the company starts to become more humble, thinking "Wow, if these highly-successful people are this humble, then I should be that way too".
The two takeaways I got are:
1) Active listening and humility makes you a non-boomer.
2) Go out of your field in learning and use it to think outside the box. This is called "divergent creativity" and it works wonders, especially in traditional areas.
Thanks a lot for the insights!

Looking at my 80 year old mother and then hearing something like "i am a believer in learning our whole lives" i must admit, that made me chuckle. Even though, my passed away grandmother had a saying "du wirst alt wie ne Kuh und lernst immer noch dazu" roughly translates into 'no matter how old you get, you still learn new things", though senile obstinacy and overall unwillingness to change their mind in many aspects seem some valid counterpoints. Hopefully i make it that long as these two to find out ^^.
