essay on power of youth
Answers
There is no power like the power of youth because the power of youth doesn’t stop!
This was a slogan that got famous during a protest by some young people hungry for change. How powerful this quote is. I personally, too, believe that teenagers have the ability to inspire and improve the lives of others. When we debate on something, we are required to take into account all the aspects related to it. It’s true that power is a great entity. With power in hand, not only your state but you can change the whole world but there is one more power that surpasses it and that is the power of willingness and determination. Humans are given some unique powers and maybe this is why only humans in the world have the power to understand the passage of events and feel the needs and pain of others.
Whenever I doubt my capabilities that can leave an influence on other’s life, I recall, to collect strength, one name and that is Abdul Sattar Edhi– also known as ‘Angel of Mercy’. Very fewer people know that Abdul Sattar Edhi started exerting his influence on this world just at the age of 19. At 19 you are just a teenager, right. Edhi is revered as a national hero by many. He did not belong to a royal or rich family nor did he have a powerful support of someone. At the age of 19 when he migrated to Pakistan, he had nothing accept the power of his will. He felt that a change is needed in the environment he is living in. From a small pharmacy to a multi-million dollar enterprise (Abdul Sattar Edhi foundation), he revealed that anything is possible if you have the intention or will to do so.
It’s true that whenever you hear the world teenager, all the words that come to your mind are lazy, self-centered, non-serious etc. Surely it’s an age like that but it’s a life-changer time too, not only for the person but for his surrounding too. Daniel J. Siegel in his book ‘Brainstorm’ says that if we treat teenagers with the respect and understanding they deserve, they are more likely to live up to their greatest capacities’. According to him, during adolescence, a person learn great things how to get connected to the world and with other people, how to make decisions and how to take risks and be intrepid. Every person is born with a skill but, unfortunately, not everyone uses it. Every person is born with a skill but, unfortunately, most of us shy away from practicing and polishing it.
