My country surely failed on something
What do you think is the country's duty for it's citizens? What is most important responsibility that they should focus on? What do you think they should provide of? What is your countries obligation? Is it all about proving foods and infrastructure?, The roads or bridges, the Port etc? Or Do you think it is all about protecting it's citizens from other terrorist etc? Provide and protect, that's something I always here of. It is their duty, yes. But is that all? If the Government says they're doing great in this terms, that there's no need to be sorry for there is no problem, then why did the results of the study conducted by Dream Project PH showed that eight out of 10 Filipinos do not have a dream.? Why 80% of Filipinos doesn't have a dream in the future? Why they loss their will to dream of we are living in such great country?
As I am reading the article, I'm sad knowing the reason for why they loss their dreams. I am the type of person who loves to dream, for it feels good when you are things to reach something every morning you wake up. But what do they feel of about having none? This is what the article says. ". The nine year consistent study conducted by the Dream Project PH founder Prim Paypon says that 8 out of 10 filipinos doesn't have dream for the future. They conducted a study covered 614 Filipino teenagers in 54 provinces from different socioeconomic classes across the country. They were asked to answer the question "do you have dream in life? and their answer are almost the same. And here's the reason why.
Lack of Communication
Dreams starts from communication. What do you want to be? The question we first heard in school asked by our teachers or even by our elderly. When you need to nurture a child's dream or a young person's goal communication should be consistent. People wants to hear a lot of things about their dreams. They needed to be mentor by wiser people. And not discouraged of what they dream of.
Lack of Role Model
What do you think is the mindset of many Pilipino right now? It's simply to study hard, to graduate in a university for them t have a better job and pay well. Our generation envision and a purpose of their life is to have a well-paying job? I think that's a bad thing. Having a lot of role model inspires others to dream bigger for they infuenced them about what and which they should do for the purpose of their life.
Lack of Perspective
Here's where your mindset comes into play. If the youth are not encouraged and challenged to see that they can make a positive difference in their community or circumstances, there's a possibilities that they will limit themselves to carved out their dream for the future. There's a lot of possibilities that may face in the future, and we all need to explore those features.
Limited Opportunities
To have better perspective for the future variety of opportunities must be shown visibly to everyone and not just for chosen one. As far as I know many graduates right now are having a hard time to enter one company, because many company are choosing high skilled worker which fresh graduates doesn't have experience of. Some employer even gave low rate income for the fresh graduates and taking advantages of them. And as far as I know many workers right now are their jobs are far from their graduate degrees having a hard time looking for job many graduates went to overseas to become worker for high income.
Limited Resources
This could be about economic situation of the country, if you are living in the middle class or lower than the middle class is like a survival mode. There's a lot of things to consider first, like daily living, foods in the table for the family, payment for rent and electricity and many debts. This leads to pursuing your dreams will become your less priorities in life. And the sad part is that most of the Filipinos are having this same problem.
Closing Thoughts
Passion is what making or dreams alive. But facing the reality, the problems and dilemmas, the people that discriminate and the discouraging words we are hearing about the future how can we still hold in that passion of ours? Some people are saying, you're just lazy and that's your own problem, but is it really because we are lazy? Or maybe because we are not seeing the future we want for there's a lot of barrier stopping us to dream. While reading until the end you may said, what is the connection of government in this problem? Well it is the duty of the Government to have a better place not just for living but also for it's citizens to dream freely.
This pandemic is one of the biggest hindrance why did some people ,young people have forget their dreams in life.But I think everyone has a dream but your were write above with those things that hinder us.
But as an individual we have the capacity to pursue our desires as long as we are willing to overcome everything.
