Can we the youth of today be depended upon when we are old enough to enter politics and govern the country? Can we the youth of today be able to stand up for what is right and lead a life that is righteous? Can we the youth of today be able to push ourselves to the point in which we shine at our brightest and not wait to be pushed around? Can we the youth of today stop behaving like the brats we are today?

These are the questions that are probably weighing hard on the minds of our parents and those of the generation that would be in that time when we become the leaders of the future. I guess they have every right to worry especially since we are so pampered. My supervisor never fails to remind me that we need to constantly push ourselves and not wait for our bosses to do so because they won't. They have better things to do rather than keep pushing us. Inspiration comes from within. We need to look for the things that inspire us that we may be able to write our reports, articles or what-so-ever. Yea, it's good that we once in a while walk around and not be cooped up in our little cubicle and free the parameters of our minds. I guess, saying that we have no inspiration should never be an excuse that we use to get away from doing the things we hate.

I don't really put a finger to what I want to accomplish in my life. I mean I am still exploring many areas that I can eventually settle myself in. Honestly speaking, the dreams that I hold on to today, may be gone tomorrow. I may never be able to realise my own dreams. I may never be able to follow through the plan I have drafted for myself but I guess if I really put my heart and soul to do whatever I am tasked to do, I cannot say that I've wasted my time. It's not as though my life has just simply gone in flash because I could not stick to the dreams I had for myself.

But I know what I would regret if I was never true to myself. I would never want to betray myself in order to gain some benefits. I would never be able to forgive myself if I choose to live a lie or even lie about how I feel. You may think that I'm too vocal for my own good but I suppose if I don't voice my opinions and harbour everything inside, I will one day explode and no, it would not be a pretty sight. People may think that I'm mean in the way I handle certain issues but as I've said I will never compromise on my principles. There is a standard that I believe we should keep with respect to the commitment towards things. I certainly do not like the fact that a person may only turn up for something because you are 'forced' to or because you think you are obligated to go because it's your duty to serve. NOPE. Don't like that mindset. I think it's all about commitment, you don't turn up at your whim and fancy. Not everyone can accomodate you or your behaviour. No I'm not targeting this paragraph to anyone but it's true. Either you get it or you don't. Either you pull your act together or be eaten alive in the real world. Really, it will help you in surviving in the world.

It's up to us how we want our lives to turn out. It's up to us how we want to make a difference in this world. Yes, God has already mapped things out for us but it's the journey that it's important and the destination is just our prize. Ask yourself, can you be relied on? Can anyone else rely on you, to count on you to be able to do things with the commitment level that enables you to work well with others?
