Let's make some difference

      Feature by Maham Jabeen

"Pakistan is proud of her youth, particularly the students, who are nation builders of tomorrow" – Quaid-e-Azam.

Just after eid the days were hectic, lots of work and very new tasks.  I enrolled my name in promotional and marketing department of the group.  In Ramzan I received my cousin's message and urge me to take part as team member in the group who are going to organize their first program in Hyderabad based on career counseling, motivational workshop and etc. The group called Aims..! A group of 15 to 16 young people including me are the part of this grand team. I attended many social programs but this one is going to be more special as I am going to explore ways which appears different to me.

We started working on it and September 14^th of was the day of our first laurel where we had a crowd of more than 300 students and discover the youth power. 300 not a big figure but for a group of 16 young people like us this records matter.  It may not interest you but my team and I came across during our journey that nothing is difficult just required efforts. 

Later, I think over it again and again "Why people admire young age? Why Shakespeare wrote seven ages of man and highlighted Soldier and justice age in his poem?? " .

The main question was can I make some difference in society?  And there must be other young people out there who have courage, skills and talent like Mala Yousuf Zai, Ali Moin Nawazish and Arfaa Karim. 

Why not we gather such youth on a single platform so they can act in more effective way and we can come over our economic and other deadly crisis. Platforms like Youth Parliament, School of Leadership and others. Or we must encourage the youth groups in society those who are working and trying to play their age role wisely.

Revivalisms of Youth Organizations are appreciable at this stage when our youth facing challenges like unemployment, less opportunities and lawlessness in the country. But the uses of such organizations are vital at this phase; we must work with progressive approach not for individual but in favor of whole society.

Pakistan is the luckiest among other countries as estimated 103 million Pakistanis, or 63% of the population, fall under the age of 25 years.  More than half of our nation population comprises youth. 

Consequently our forefathers bringing glory and pride to our nation and also bringing laurels home to be proud of like Pakistan we only admire them but never laid efforts to mark same glory.

Let's be a part of political movements to show our desires and expectations for our country.

You can break the nepotism and corrupt cultures yes you! Asked Question do investigation and make some difference.

Why great leader always focuses on the youth importance? Is it about the adolescent age?  But the most exciting stage I believe is the time of being young not by age but by actions, enthusiasm and adventurous nature. 

 We have no time to wait for Messiah to come and do charisma for us don't complain but take actions and do it yourself.

There is light at the end of the tunnel but only if we have the will and courage to pass through.

The government and Youth Ministry must pay special attention in addressing the issues affecting Pakistani Youth at first priority to allow us to meet our potential and perform for the country in a more suitable way.
