For starters, you might be asking who is Simon Sinek? Simon Sinek talked about millennials in an interview that literally broke the internet. You can find it here. He brilliantly focuses on understanding rather than accusing.

Millenials have become fond of Simon Sinek because he is one of the only public figures who doesn't bash them. He talks about how millennials strive for different things than previous generations. And that each generation reflects the challenges that happened during the formative years of their life. For example, if you were born during the Great Depression, then you are probably more aware of scraping every last bit of ice cream out of the gallon. And if you were born in the late 60s or early 70s, then you might be skeptical about leadership and political leaders.

All in all, Simon Sinek has information that all millennials should remember during their lifetime. Here are the 5 Simon Sinek quotes every millennial should know:

1. “Loving your job and being fulfilled by your job should be a right, not a privilege”

In simpler terms, no one is forcing you to work in a field you hate. Everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions. Going into work every day hating your job is a choice made by you. No one deserves a crappy career. A crappy job for you could be being a CEO of a large corporation. A crappy job for someone else could be working as a car wash attendant. Stepping in a career right out of college knowing that you have already started counting down the days to retirement is an issue.

2. "Why is it that in the military people are rewarded if they put someone's life before themselves, but in the corporate world you get a raise if you push others aside?"

Let that sink in. In the military, a Purple Heart is rewarded to those who have put their lives second and in most cases, have suffered physically and psychologically. In the business world, if you come up with an idea, you don't tell anyone because you don't want someone to steal it. You want people to fail because it results in more money in your pocket. What would happen if you started treating your coworkers like soldiers treat their troop? Put them before yourself because, in the end, loyalty is what matters most.

3. People diagnosed with ADD and ADHD has risen by 66% over the last 10 years.

I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder in fourth grade. Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder has been diagnosed in children who are distracted, irritable in the classroom, bored, have a difficult time understanding the lesson, or can't sit still. I remember my fourth-grade teacher telling my parents that I would get distracted easily, which resulted in not finishing my work. She also told my parents that I was calm and responsive during the day until I hit a wall and couldn't sit still. She recommended that I be put on medication to "slow my brain down, so I could learn better".

In the moment, I didn't understand what the medication was doing and can only remember being embarrassed for being singled out. In fourth grade, having a teacher tell your parents that something could be prohibiting you from learning like everyone else isn't the best feeling. Today I can completely understand why the number of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have skyrocketed. Not everyone is meant to sit in a classroom for 8 hours a day. Not everyone can do silent work for one hour without being distracted. Not everyone can perform in a classroom without having more than a 15-minute recess. If ADD and ADHD are diagnosed in children who can't-do those things, then there are probably a lot of kids who were misdiagnosed and taking Adderall at a very young age.

Basically, stop trying to fit a mold. If children don't fit the mold then why are we prescribing them medication to be like everyone else?

Simon Sinek knows that people are created differently. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that our world is filled with a variety of political views, religions, races, and generations. Instead of judging people for their differences, start asking yourself "How are we alike?"
