There are no bad way or good way of living because everyone is different. What is good for you may be bad for me and vice versa so admire whoever you want to admire.

If you think of it in terms of psychology, there is no "bad way" of thinking. I guess famous singers are people that everyone knows and regularly listens to their music. Bad ways of thinking of the young? I'm 13, and I guess it's when, for instance, people who are not so young may want to be better than them for some reason or envy their youth, and think that they must have more mental capacity or brain power simply because they are older. Technically speaking, in the early centuries A.D., one person could know everything there was to know. Period. Maybe our grandparents knew a lot about a certain subject. But the amount of knowledge doubles every 2 years, and by 2010 will be doubling every 6 months, so every 2 years people who thought they knew a lot, almost everything there was to know about one thing, has to contend with research and try to keep up. Then they might try to revert to the "invincible ignorance" strategy, seen in many school systems around the world, but prominently in Mexico (I live there), where the educational system hasn't been updated in over 4 decades. Going back to the question, in our society it is always bad to think of one person as inferior, no matter what background or knowledge they have. That is the premise our nation was founded upon, though apparently our government doesnt think too highly of Iraquis.
I think an extreme amount of energy is nice, and so is the ability to learn things quickly. So is the almost indestructibility of bones from ages 3 to 11 and the lack of self-concern. For the original question.

As a parent of three young women I would have to say that what I admire most about most of the generation is that they aren't as likely to be prejudice for no reason. For them not to like you there has to be a reason. They are more likely to want to understand as situation before they heedlessly react to it. I think that one of the things that I don't agree with is their tendency to think that they will live forever and to take needless risks with their lives. But for the most part I think that they will be great guardians of the earth and populace when we are no longer here to deal with it.

re your first question, I admire their seemingly endless energy.
