I’ve seen and heard several young people question their preparedness and qualifications to lead change-making initiatives across the world, because they consider themselves, and are considered by others to be too young and inexperienced.
Might I ask, when will you be better equipped to be a changemaker than when you are young and idealistic? Idealism is the parent of all innovation; that unquestionable belief that things can change and that you’re capable of spurring that change is the key prerequisite for innovation.
The message is simple: don’t let anyone look down on you because of your youth. If there’s an idea burning in your heart, get up and start designing a means of implementation, because you’ll never be more qualified or prepared to do it than you are right now. Moments of obligation shouldn’t be missed.
Get up and go!
Exactly, idealism is the parent of innovation. To every youth out there; if not now, when?
