How do you motivae the youths living in developing world for the better future?
The future is dependent on the youth in the developing world but these youths experience incredible pressure to compete and perform well at any level to succeed for a better future. To be able to motivate these youths for the better future, getting persons who have been successful during their youthful years and have made it in life to share their own experience on how to make the better future will be of great help. And also i would share my experience to assure them that they are not alone and they have all ingredient for a better future. Using personal life experience I will inspire them that in life, many things don’t go according to plan. If they stumble, they must re-gain their balance, never give-up and always stay positive knowing that things will get better if they keep a positive attitude. Lastly, I will dare them to be different. Yes, I believe in daring to be different. What does it mean to be different? Well, it simply means that one should have the courage to stand up for what one believes in, even if the rest of the world is against you.
