" Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” - Steve JobsWhat will it take to inspire us? To finally give us the inspiration to make a move? To make this world a better place? Why are we still waiting? What are we waiting for? The very fact that we are still waiting, is evidence enough that there is something wrong. Either with the educational system or with the society or maybe, just maybe, with us.
There are SO many of us, wanting to make the change. To rise up against all odds and achieve our dreams. What is it that is stopping us? Lack of inspiration? Lack of support? Fear of rejection? Or the fear of criticism?
What we don't understand is that, that we all have it within us the audacity to dream and to make those dreams come alive. To rise up in the face of all the criticism and be the change we wish to see in the world. We, the youth, the future of the world, are believed to be the "changemakers" of tomorrow. Are we doing justice to the task entrusted upon us? Are we being the people the world needs us to be? What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow what would we want to leave behind as our legacy?
There are a million things out there that are NOT supposed to be the way they are. We are getting educated for a reason. If it does not get utilized properly , the whole purpose of education is defeated. There is no point in us going to the various schools and colleges. Of earning a big fat income. Because at the end of the day, when we're old and grey and leave the world, all we'll leave behind as legacy is a fat bank balance and probably a world that's worse than it was when we entered it. We would have, yet again, missed the chance of making the world a better place and of adding meaning to our lives.
There are seven billion people in this world right now and all it takes is one person to bring a change. So, narrow down your options. Make a plan. Set some goals. Strive to achieve them. Fail. Fail again. Don't give up. Keep trying harder . Go that extra mile, give that extra effort. It will pay off.
It is easy to fade out in mediocrity It takes a lot of effort and courage to be able to dream of bringing about a change in this stubborn unchanging world. All we have to do is hold on. Hold on, long enough to see our dreams transform into reality and to have the chance to be able to feel that proud feeling when our job is done. When our mark is made.
Because one day , your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure, it's worth watching.
