What would be the fate of humanity if the next generation is doomed out of our carelessness and negligence? A Clarion call, a task for everyone. I envisage a generation of greater mindset, abilities sustainability, all is obtainable with our efforts.
Our actions and inactions affect the next generation, we neglect this very fact sometimes. The future starts now and tomorrow is the today we are living. What we plant today will germinate tomorrow. The next generation should always be at the back of our mind.
Motivate
How well do we motivate them to work and not to push their responsibilities to the next future. If we keep believing everything should be handled by the next generation then who are the next generation? We should know we are the next generation because every generation starts with the existing one.
Educate
For years, societies have under- and mal-invested in education. Education in all forms both formal and informal have been undermined, we convinced ourselves that our global edge in entrepreneurship and innovation could compensate for the failure to maintain a dynamic curriculum, engage our kids, and deliver to them an exciting and rewarding educational environment. Education is not limited to the four walls of school, remember knowledge is power.
Inspire
Inspire the young generation to start being responsible now, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a step and the right step leads to right destination. Everyone has a role to play in reshaping the future, let us take it upon ourselves to produce the generation of behaved and well cultured.
Enough of the complain
We should all hope that our politicians will step up to the important responsibility. But we cannot rely just on them. We also need to do more to help the next generation stand a better chance of overcoming the real threat of declining living standards - and this is even before we take into account critical sustainability issues that have to do with the multiple abuses of our environment and natural resources.
Our nonchalant attitudes and negligence to the future generations does big harm to our society at large. Time to let go of our present challenges and reshape the future. Lamenting over our bad economy and forgetting the future generations needs proper orientation so they don't fall into a mess like us. Build and guide them now for the future begins now. It begins with you.
