Dear Readers
We live in a modernized world in which personall effort as well as dedication and commitment are the only norms in which a person can succeed in the real practical world.
Thus we need to adopt changes, personal changes aimed at our perception of the world and our attitudes . While there are many individuals who achieved success, yet the majority of the youth reflect indifference when it comes to the adoptation of changes as the world progresses from one point of history to another.
As a result of this, the failure of the youths to adopt changes and their lack of interest in becoming productive members of their societies,we is a new emerging group of youth who are absolutely allienated from the reality, the naked reality in this world we live, interested only in pursuing temporary desires.
What is so demoralizing is the absence of religion in our lives if we are the youths, this is so particularly those of us who live in the west...where few only find to balance their worldly affairs and their religious obligation..
A lot of reports were written about this issue--the calamity that befell on somali youth in the west,,,a research paper written by a proffessor at Toronto University is an illustration to that...
We need to encourage each other and cross the common barriers that isolate one from the other.
One simply needs to have objectives, principles, in life, that direct all his energy and effort for the realization of his goals.
And that needs commitment and dedication,,,and sometimes sacrifices as we struggle against the insurmountable forces of nature and that of mankind,,
The time has come, i believe, for us the youth, to reflect on our lives,,,our achievements, our failures,,our aspirations and dreams,,,and that needs close, and well organized youth supporting each other,,,all the way.....
yours |
