The Nigerian Youths are Smart, Bright, Strong, Intelligent and Strong willed, but we need to do more and inspire these Young ones.
The one common denominator with the Young ones regardless of their home lives, ages or other factors is their need to be reassured. How is this best achieved? How do we provide guidance and serve as inspiration for kids we only know on a peripheral level?
Sometimes, we can think back to our own turning points and pinpoint exactly when it was we decided to pursue something as our life's work. It could've been encouragement from a mother who insisted that natural aptitude for figuring out how and why things work would serve us well in our lives. The fact is, we never know when a kind word can make the difference in a child's life. And if it's really as simple as that and if we believe we have a responsibility to our young people, why would we not take every opportunity to check in with those young folks and lend those reassurances.
Sometimes I think my life would make a great TV movie. It even has the part
where they say, "Stand by. We are experiencing temporary difficulties." ~Robert
Brault,
We need to remember that the Youths are watching and looking at us daily as we live our lives, I urge us most especially Nigerians in diaspora with some form of western exposure to give back, to live a life of Inspiration, lead by examples, Encourage someone to be inspired into doing something great.
