What every young person should know

Raymond Gerson :
Your life will pass by quickly. Ask your self important questions such as:
What do I really want to do with my short and precious life?
Are my actions taking me there?
If not, what actions do I need to take to get on track?
Ask yourself how you can use your best and favorite talents to make a positive difference for others while working in a career that you feel matters. Then educate yourself and improve your intelligence, skills and perception so that you are qualified to work in your field of interest.
Work on your own self-improvement, not only to become an expert in your field, but also to become a wonderful human being. You can develop your character and make a positive difference in this world.
The power to make an excellent contribution will come from within you. As you improve yourself so will your ability to influence others. Your very example can help others because we radiate who we are.
The world is facing major problems and this creates opportunities and the need for solving them. Your generation are the future leaders and influencers and are needed to make this a better world, perhaps even to save it from destruction.
Hospice nurses who work with people who are dying tell us that most people do not regret what they have done as much as what they have not done. They do not so much regret their mistakes and failures when they tried their best. They regret not attempting to follow their heart and pursue their dreams.
Do not become one of these people who are full of regret at the end. Pursue your dreams now while you have the opportunity.
Never doubt that your life can make a difference. Margaret Mead put it this way, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” You can choose to be one of these people.
