Lazy and unmotivated fresh graduates in Malaysia

The Star Malaysia reported on Sunday that there are 60,000 unemployable fresh graduates in Malaysia and that the main reason for their unemployability is that they are lazy, lack communication skills and motivation.

The article also states that it is the parent's fault that children are lacking, since parents buy them cars and houses even before they start their careers.

In addition, even those excellent graduates don't want to work at jobs that demand a lot from them, but prefer to get jobs where it is easy for them to work.

Do you get what I am heading at?

There is a lot of generalising ongoing in this article. For instance, are all those 60,000 graduates lazy, or are some not? Do all of them lack communication skills and motivation? What kind of motivation? What kind of communication is required to get a job? How many parents buy their children cars and houses and make them lazy? What is the relationship between lazy and property ownership?

NLP teaches and uses the skill to challenge those generalisations, distortions and deletions. We are educated to blend out certain information, and use the bits of information that we have to form our opinions. However, it is a vital skill (what skill?) to be able to identify those statements and challenge them, because honestly, I know fresh graduates from Malaysian universities that didn't lack communication skills, were highly motivated and definetly not lazy.
