- How can young people succeed in workplaces dominated by curmudgeons who are judging their every move? At this AEI book event, bestselling author, social scientist, and self-described curmudgeon Charles Murray will offer indispensable advice for navigating the workplace, getting ahead, and living a fulfilling life.
Among the tips outlined in Murray's "The Curmudgeon's Guide to Getting Ahead: The Dos and Don'ts of Right Behavior, Tough Thinking, Clear Writing, and Living a Good Life" (Crown, April 2014): excise the word "like" from your spoken English, don't suck up, get real jobs (not internships), and watch "Groundhog Day" repeatedly. For those starting out in their careers - and those who wish to advance more quickly - this event is not to be missed.

Thank you AEI, and thank you Charles Murray!
So no tattoos on my face?
3:00 he starts.
how can charles murray say fame isnt important? he's an idol
Fame for the sake of fame is not important. Fame because somebody climbs Mount Everest or invents the transistor is important.
His kind doesn't want the poor workers to dream of fame; put your nose to the grindstone.
Nice to haer those wise words.
How do we know that resilience isn't genetically determined in the same way as, say, IQ?
I think that even if it's genetic it's a very common behavioral trait and like most they are learned. But resilience to anything can come from personal experience.
I only disagree with the notion of joining the armed forces. If it was a force which doesn't normally fight real wars but just preparing for a defense in cases of emergency I'd understand that.
I myself have never been to any kind of military training, however, I have met and spent time with many who had done so including Israeli wo/men, Taiwanese, Singaporean, Korean and German men. I have always noticed that there are things about them that set them apart. But I highly doubt that I would send my daughter to such a place.
Companies today are making vocational development much more difficult for young employees than it was 30 years ago. Companies are much less willing to train their employees and promote from within, preferring to hire experienced employees that require little training. The same companies turn around and blame the educational system for the deficiency in qualified graduates. The loyalty between an employer and employee is not what it used to be. Employees are treated as disposable contractors with little opportunity for advancement, and employers wonder why they have problems with high turnover and finding good people. The modern work atmosphere is not one of teamwork and cooperation, but of exploitation. "Workers" are dehumanized and are treated as disposable, with their only function being to make profits for the company.
Jess Stuart Totally agree.
You can thank government regulations for that one. They make it harder and expensive to hire candidates so conpanies prefer hiring experienced people
I have to disagree about overly spending time to get the job done. A few of my colleagues were focused,, they did their job, they tried their best not to screw up and overall they were assets.
When they got pregnant and went on maternity leave, they got their termination letter, effective at the end of the month.
They were smart and dedicated people. I worked with them and I have to say that my performance wasn't as good as them.
But because they would not be back within three months due to their baby, they were fired.
They weren't promoted for their time there, they didn't get much of a pay raise, nothing.
@@MathGPT No it's not the job of communities or governments to create a financially secure environment. I'll pay for my decisions and I expect you to pay for yours. If you give the government the power to tax me to pay for your decisions, then I am not a free man. Think about it. You take care of your children and I'll take care of mine.
This sure ain't no lefty TED talk lol..
I love it.
He is wrong about data. It is a short a in Latin. Also, Data was in Star Trek
He reminds me of Bill Maher. They have the same tone, voice and mannerisms.
the volume is horrible please
Data as a plural is right up there with the misuse of “begging the question”. Data is PLURAL in Latin and yet I cannot help but notice that the entirety of your speech was presented in English. Only smugly “smart” people demand others pluralize a collective noun. Almost no one uses “datum”.
He says data is plural.
Hello? Groundhog day??
Hello? Groundhog day??
I respect this man and what he does, but sometimes he sounds like a windbag. There is no plot to life, let it go. Everytime you follow advice like that, you get drained, you were too predictable.
that's the point curmudgeon litarrly means old windbag
@@gerrymackenzie1106 you are sooooo ignorantly wrong , Gerry Gary!
just join the marines xdd
Not everybody is built to be a Marine.
sarcasm off
Half of what he says is wise advice but the other half is naive boomerisms.
I'm not even a millennial and still I find this laughable, uninformed and just ridiculous in general. About half of the opinion is appropriate, but the rest is nothing more valuable than one man's subjective judgement of people he doesn't understand and can not fairly comment on or about, much less judge.
I think he made some points, but I have to agree, he is strangely bias with his life experience, he's reflective to a degree, but more myopic than need be.
+Lisa Says I am moved to suggest that this phenomenon goes both ways. I don't think many millennials have much understanding of the values of older generations, but they have been given the message that they don't have to understand them. I'm caught between his generation and yours and I find yours more foreign. Much more foreign, and I find it more than annoying when his generation and mine are told that we must adjust to your generation.
