What Gen Z can teach us
INSPIRATION
What Gen Z can teach us
Scottish author Frances Wright said, ‘The knowledge of one generation is the ignorance of the next.’
Gen X – born from 1960 to 1979; also known as the MTV-generation
Millennials – born from 1980 to 1994; known as the Me Generation for their self-obsession
Gen Z – born from 1995 onwards; true digital natives, integrating virtual and offline experiences
- value individual expression; the search for self within the given framework
- are committed to mobilising themselves for what they believe in
- believe in dialogue and addressing conflict in order to make the world a better place
- are highly analytical and pragmatic when they need to be
Gen Zs constantly evaluate unprecedented amounts of information and influences. For them, the self is a place to experiment, test and change. They can be religious but be open to broader life themes and beliefs. They are also more interested in human rights, defending causes related to identity like race, ethnicity, LGBTQ rights, feminism and more.
Gen Zs are more inclusive than other generations because they have grown up in a world where they have formed friendships both online and offline. This allows for high mobilisation at an instant based on causes and interests, regardless of economic or educational background. Think about how K-pop fans blanked Trump’s recent rally by block-reserving seats. Or how they raised millions overnight for the Black Lives Matter movement. If they care, they dare.
Unlike Baby Boomers, Gen Xs and Millennials who are more prone to ‘breaking off’ discussions due to ‘toxicity’ (hardly any conversation ends with ‘I see your point’), Gen Zs believe in being participative. They can interact with institutions without abandoning their personal beliefs, are more forgiving of corporations that are sincere when they make a mistake. They would rather engage and extract whatever makes sense for them.
With vast amounts of information at their disposal and being more comfortable absorbing knowledge online than via traditional institutions and sources. Gen Zs are more pragmatic and analytical than previous generations. Having born in economic downturns and raging environmental issues, they aren’t as idealistic as the preceding millennials who powered the gig-economy. They are more aligned to regular jobs that allow them to contribute and express themselves because they believe work and play and life and living are all converging. They are ready.

7 ways to stay centered
INSPIRATION
7 ways to stay centered
One of the luxuries of life is knowing you can unplug from the world as and when you please. However, unplugging is merely the first step to centering yourself. Here are some tongue-in-cheek suggestions on what you can do to find your center.
Add inane or even inconsequential things like ‘Wake Up’ or ‘Switch off the alarm’ to your to-do list. The more things you have, the more satisfaction you’d feel when you strike them off. Go ahead, add ‘Make a list’ to your list too. Because, why not?
It’s near impossible to find quiet time in today’s fast-paced world. Our suggestion? Walk the house in the middle of the night. When everyone is asleep and the streets are (mostly) quiet. It will be peaceful. Just don’t stare at anyone who is sleeping. Or check their phones. Where’s the challenge then?
Heard of the runner’s high? The point where nothing exists except you and the open road. You can do that. Or hit a yoga mat. Or even HIIT. But if you want to start slow, we’d suggest walking. Nothing beats a long walk and back. With shopping bags.
Everything is ‘urgent’ and ‘I don’t have time’. We’ve heard it all. We have used better excuses ourselves. However, there is truth and benefits to taking things slow. It’s good to enjoy the adrenalin rush but why be in a hurry all the time. Blue tick someone. Let them stew.
Yes, we are not all artists, painters, writers and designers but that doesn’t mean we can’t be creative because creative expression is a form of catharsis, an outlet so to speak. So try your hand at basic water colour painting non-rhyming poetry. If that proves challenging, get creative with your expenses.
This cannot be overstated. Laughter is the best medicine. Mix that with an apple and you may never be sick for a day. Call up a friend to share a joke and a laugh. Read a comic strip every day. Try telling jokes to a willing audience (read: your pet or plants). Just have pun.
Just like how we know how to wake up and get ready for the day but can adapt to different order of that routine, create a day plan that gives you pockets of me-time. To simply while away, surf the Net or add stuff to your to-do list.

Apt apps to get during the pandemic
What is the kick in showing off on IG. If you really want to flex, Rich Kids is the way to go. It is touted as the world’s most exclusive social network, where it’s going to take more than a yacht or a private jet to make an impression. #justsaying
Known as the ‘Tinder of the elite dating world’, 41% of the members are reputed to pull in at least $1M annually. So, you will fit right in. It is exclusive. Perhaps too much so. 40,000 members have been removed to prevent catfishing. You’ve been warned.
It seems like a good time to invest the spare million or two in luxurious properties. But with travel restrictions and social distancing measures, flying in on a private jet for a peek is out. Hence, Sotheby’s affords the wealthy a virtual tour of impressive properties the world over. Now, which continent do you not have a home in…
Think of it as Carousell with a few extra zeroes in the sell price. You can find anything from a $21m private jet to a $52m yacht. There is even a category called ‘Extraordinaire’ where items include a chair made of chrome-plated AK-47s. Imagine what his personal bodyguards must be carrying.
If you are a watch connoisseur, this is, literally, a good way to pass your time. It is basically an encyclopaedia of every watch on the market for any given year, for both mainstream and luxury watches. When you are showing off your impressive collection of timepieces already, deliver the coup de grace with a morsel of trivia known only to a select few.

Getting to know 5G,
the next-generation technology
Delivering a whole virtual world to our mobiles at peak data speeds, 5th-generation technology will catapult Augmented Reality (AR) to raised levels of gaming experience. Love Pokémon Go and Animal Crossing? Then you’re in for a treat: 5G is here to change the game. Literally.
There’s no need to think outside the box with 5G as it can’t be boxed in. The creative universe – from arts to fashion and everything in between – will transcend and flourish in the time of 5G, blurring the lines between virtual space and the real world.
With its ultra-low latency and massive connectivity upgrade, 5G will significantly impact the way we manage health and fitness in the future. Wearables have become intuitive beyond smartwatches; soon we’ll be tracking more than just the quantity of our exercise routines – we’d be leveraging quality data to enhance our lives, every day.
“Please don’t stop the music”, sang Rihanna. With 5G, we might not need to. With the high-performing network empowering our devices and understanding how we use them, the future of music would automatically detect our preferences, including how and when we want it. Play, and you’ll never have to press pause again.

Protection with a touch of luxury
An Australian brand taking the world by storm, Grown Alchemist was founded by brothers Keston and Jeremy Mujis. Their Hydra Hand Sanitiser is formulated with hyaluronan and antioxidants to both cleanse and increase hydration levels instantly, which in turn helps to reduce the chance of premature aging. The 70% alcohol content is extracted from natural cane sugar to eliminate bacteria while the likes coconut oil fennel, cold pressed sweet orange oil, sweet almond oil and pot marigold keep hands clean and supple. According to co-founder Jeremy Mujis, “A recent study shows nearly 60% of millennials scan the back of the label for personal care products before purchasing (which offers) a clear opportunity to stand out when talking to a wellness-savvy customer. Grown Alchemist products are Australian-certified non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free and formulated with certified organic ingredients.” Sounds like this is one Hydra even the Marvel universe would welcome.
Started by two Israeli sweethearts in 1997, Sabon (soap in Hebrew) originated from an ancient soap-making recipe from the Australian Aborigines. From the onset, the brand has been committed to sourcing high-quality natural ingredients, such as sea salt, sea mud, seaweed from the nearby Dead Sea and various herbal elements from the Mediterranean and beyond. This uncompromising approach has seen Sabon grow to 180 stores worldwide since. Its hand sanitiser reflects the Sabon philosophy. Its antibacterial gel is infused with Sabon’s signature Patchouli Lavender Vanilla fragrance with alcohol content to disinfect while its Vitamin E maintains the skin’s natural moisture level. From fresh, handmade soaps, cut and sold by weight, to quality craftsmanship produced through generous amounts of sincerity and emotions, Sabon is authentic handicraft that deserves more than a show of hands.

Why digital security is more important than ever
Ever wondered how your browsing history (like that limited-edition sneaker) seems to follow you around the web? Or worse, a brand or label you mentioned within earshot of your device suddenly pops up as a digital banner or promotional offer? It’s no coincidence. Your internet searches are not private and, more often than not, are up for sale. If you value your privacy, stop ‘checking into’ places (e.g. food photos, boarding passes, concert tickets are an ego boost but also reveal your movements/life patterns), clear your cache and cookies regularly, browse incognito and in extreme instances, use a virtual private network (VPN). Remember, what you share of yourself online is what unsavoury individuals get to work with against you. Being understated isn’t just cooler, it’s safer too.
Getting emails from Nigerian royalty promising riches has gone from being ‘exclusive’ to becoming a parody and yet, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that US$1.2 billion is lost through phishing scams every year (making the Nigerian royalty even richer). While service providers do their bit to filter suspicious emails (e.g. Gmail will verify Brand emails soon), plenty of phishing emails still slip through the cracks. Be sure to read all your mails, starting with the sender’s address followed by the subject line before clicking on any links or opening any attachments. Unless, of course, you are directly related to Nigerian royalty.
As long as you’ve used the Internet, consider yourself on the grid. Your usage and search history becomes data that are stored in a cloud somewhere. Now imagine if someone can use your search history from eons ago to paint a particular picture of yourself for whatever reason? It is possible. Hackers need just three verified pieces of information (e.g. your birth date, postal code, IP address) to set any grey activity into motion. So avoid accessing critical information over public networks, never leave your device unattended and check on what permissions you have given to which app regularly. Send hackers around in circles.
Anything and everything that you’ve said (even in jest), every photo you’ve been tagged to, every article or file with your name on it will forever be accessible on the Internet. Even ‘deleted files’ can be restored easily. Remember your digital security is in your own hands first before you leverage the privacy and protection of systems like Samsung Knox.
Want to know how you can maximise your digital security? Read on.
