Passing the Torch

In my culture, I have heard on numerous occasions that it is time “to pass the torch”. Meaning the future leaders will take responsibility and step up to lead the next generation. The question that remains is “Are we ready to accept the torch?” I feel that our generation, generation Y or Millennial generation are not concern with continuing the legacy but are caught up with our own selfish needs. I think that if the elders prepared a layout or at least trained us in leadership or showing us the ropes we would be somewhat prepared. Also, we say that someone was investing in us we would feel somewhat obligated to continue the legacy and accept the torch.
