How do you motivae the youths living in developing world for the better future?

The perks of young people are quick learning, freely thinking and courage. Being young means you have to take advantages of those to contribute for the development of your country, your region and the world. I believe that the youths living in developing at this time have more opportunities than ever before with the breakthrough of technology and internet. Everyone is connected with each other and opportunities are fairly shared for everyone. A better future means that we have to solve the problems at this moment. By joining a forum, attending a conference, or taking internships, we can meet more talented people and catch up with the latest trends and gain more knowledge. The problem can be looking at another perspective so we can gradually develop our own solution and get through any challenges. Step-by-step, we can change ourselves a little bit every day to become a change-maker for our country and make this world better
