RESPONSIBILITIES OF YOUTH


By: Zainab Abbasi
“The youth of a nation are the trustees of prosperity” (Benjamin Disraeli)
Youth are the backbone of a nation. They are the key to success and the ones who can change the future of a society with their education and courageous behaviour. If the youth understand their responsibilities, the day is not far when a nation can soar on the horizon of success. 
Aristotle said, “Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.” Adopting good habits makes a good personality. The foundations of a nation are strong if its youth value time and the resources available to them. A society becomes good and noble if its youth work hard, follow the rules and regulations set by law and the path of righteousness and serve others selflessly. Those who obey can also lead. It is also important to remember that tolerance is a vital ingredient for success. In difficult times, tolerance and patience pave the way. 
Youth are not only leaders of tomorrow but also partners of today. Youth with sound knowledge and strong values can bring about a mature and responsible change for the coming generation. The resourcefulness of youth can provide the necessary complement to various aspects of life like eradication of poverty, bringing awareness in nation to change the economic condition of the country, playing a crucial role in positively transforming conflicted situations and building the foundations of a democratic and peaceful society.
