Shirui Kashong (Shirui Hill)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am not here to criticized, condemned or challenged anyone. I am here to put forward my limited knowledge on how I feel about who I am and who I must be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At times I am quite ashamed that I belong to a community. I couldn\u2019t believe that there are blood relations whole throughout the generation with the same perspectives. It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t appreciate nor appreciate my community. As for me, I have not been responsible as a responsible being. I doubt if I were asked, on my contribution for the welfare of my people, absolutely I would have no answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forefathers had achieved milestones in their lifetime.  That results satisfaction and contentment in life. Which is why today’s society has the opportunity to enjoy their hard earn achievements.  The 21st century youngster, where standard of living has changed drastically. Technologies and science had taken its place that makes life easy yet lazy. At the same time, present is not better off than the past hamlet, who is to be blamed? Selfishness? Intelligents? Technology? No doubt today\u2019s generations are actually resting on the laurel of the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I worry for the God’s given natural resources: i doubt its longevity and sustainability. It depend on us young people on how we take care of it, who knows one day some aliens may defeat us. When on that day shame, disappointment, regrets, remorse will be of no use as we have miss the boat when we are given chance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the so-call developed society working together for equity? Are we doing our part for sustainability? Hundreds of unanswered questions jumble over my head. Why there are so many wolves in sheep clothing? What gain will I get if I don\u2019t let others fly higher than me? What if I don\u2019t care about others? How do I convince those around me with my opinion? What will people say or think of me if I do something different from them? And the question goes on\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, I would like to invite every young people, who are resting on the achievement of ancestors, to walk hand in hand with the Lord and march forward for better tomorrow. Vibrant and dynamic young friends take heart, \u201cYouth are the pillar of the Nation. The future lies in the hand of the youth. Either create it or destroy it. It is fully in our hands\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is high time for us YOUTH<\/strong> to take into account that life is a matter of second. So also chances for creating something innovative is like a river that flows down the stream and never come back again. Let bygones be bygones and turn over a new leaf to mark our footprints. We have every right to be the caretaker of our land and preserve our culture, customs, and traditions. In the meantime, let us think out of the box, instead of always a one way traffic intellectual, to go beyond our comfort zones and create an amazing story for our next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us not hold back with criticism and setbacks. We shall erect unchanging cornerstone of good will. That one day all of us will proclaim, \u201cI have gone through struggles, toils, and hurdles and that have made who I am today\u201d. In order to yield the result, we need to decide now! Either a good future or a corrupted future. Decision is ours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
