Heard someone once say "We're not the generation that wanted a trophy for participation, we're the generation whose parents demanded we get one."

I agree with how you put this, John! There's an element of "those lousy kids" with every new generation, but does it seem like it's especially prominent with ours? (Maybe it just seems that way since I am a Millennial.) Lately, every live broadcast or article topic seems to be centered around how we can't or won't do X, Y, or Z. It bothers me that I'm being lumped into a group that absolutely does not represent how I tackle my professional or personal goals.

I'd be interested to hear from others how they've found successful ways to prove the Millennial stereotype wrong in their job roles.
