Are You A Wasted Youth?

Youths of today are the future of our tomorrow, they say. But what will you then say when you find out that the majority of youths of today are nothing but already wasted?

There’s fire on the mountain. Something needs to be done to arrest this astronomical increase in the number of wasted youths we are witnessing in our present day.

But first, before we do that, we need to identify who these wasted youths are.

So, how do you identify a wasted youth?

Well, a wasted youth...

Hardly reads

In fact, he does not read. This is one of the easiest ways to spot a wasted youth. Apart from reading his Facebook or twitter updates and maybe his textbooks. That is where his reading stops.

Novels, financial books, journals, even currents affairs is not really his thing. Of course, he’ll proudly and openly tell you he doesn’t have time for any of that nonsense!

Be Original

The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves. They want to be 50 Cent or someone else. They do what everyone else does even if it doesn't fit where and who they are. But you get nowhere that way; your energy is weak and no one pays attention to you. You’re running away from the one thing that you own— what makes you different. I lost that fear. And once I felt the power that I had by showing the world I didn't care about being like other people, I could never go back.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s own opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

At some point in your life as a student during school or when you must have graduated from school, you may start having this feeling of being (a little bit) frustrated. You notice that everything you are doing or everything you represent is actually someone’s idea. You start hating the idea of imitating others because you have realized that imitation is bad.

You will start seeking originality because at this point, you might have finally discovered for yourself that it is originality that can separate you from all men.

Congratulations if you have finally made it to this point. Now, I am going to offer you a little push with hope that you might seek and be glad that you are now seeking originality.

I am going to give you now some of the reasons why I say that becoming original is one of the best things that will ever happen to you.

It makes you unique

Oh yes. It is one of the ways of separating yourself from the herd.

Organized mind: The first step towards self improvement

One of the best things you could do for yourself is to acquire an organized mind. The obtainable power therein is quite immense.

Think about it, when you talk about developed nations, one thing that you normally associate with those countries is usually the high level of organization that is witnessed there. Everything seems to work just fine as if on clockwork. No wonder those people there are also described as civilized.

Similarly, when you attend any well organized ceremony or occasion, you will surely agree with me that the difference between any organized function and a haphazard one is always so easy to spot.

From the seating arrangement, to the serving of foods, down to the closing moments, you will notice one thing: systemization. Everything looks easy and works as if it has already been pre-planned leaving you with a yearning feeling for a repeat performance quite unlike what is obtainable in an unorganized function where your only wish could be for the time to fly so that you will just go!

Systemization is the keyword. An organized mind is a systemized one and having an organized mind is actually your first step towards any desire for self improvement

Why is this so?
