1. Stillness of character

Gen-Z is full of hopes and dreams. But often they lack a stillness ('thehraav') of character required to have the unhindered focus to realise those exact hopes and dreams. They are keen to win the race but aren't ready to be slow and steady; a skill they must learn from older generations.

3. Conserving your energy

Yes, yes. Gen-Z has too much energy to pull through the day. But wouldn't that lead to burnout if not conserved right? That's a life skill they must learn from previous generations.

4. Clarity on career trajectory

This is a slippery slope that the generations before Gen-Z have walked with their heels on. So a piece of advice from a senior generation counterpart would certainly help.

5. What to speak and when

Yes. Most Gen-Z people are outspoken. But they can take a cue from the strategic silence of their seniors at work or elsewhere and learn about what to speak and when.
