What should young people do?

Everybody underwent the childhood stage. Playing, questioning, experimenting, on things were normal and ordinary activities of a child. Like you and me, also underwent the process of childhood. In this modern world, we young people tend to relax, if things got hooked up were just on 'bahala' mode. So, what should young people do, in times of crises, in times of ups and downs, and especially how to live a better life to live in?

Young people need to acquire knowledge and skills in life. One way to grow in wisdom is to take seriously one's opportunity to be educated in school. In this way, acquiring knowledge and skills is not a remote possibility. In school, we students undergo the process of searching for one's true. Self- identity and life purpose.
Young people have to learn the value of hard and honest work.
Young people have to be physically fit. This requires physical strength. For us young people, to be physically fit is one of the ways to maintain good health and therefore value life. We can do by engaging in sports and different exercises.
Young people must treasure their family. We should value the importance of family life because family remains to be the smallest unit of the society where good characters are supposed to sprang and grow.
Young people must realize God's presence in nature. Nowadays, young people must learn how to discover the vastness of God's concern to people through the presence of the nature. Not only that, we should value the importance of caring the environment by planting trees, using recycled materials, disposing the garbage to the proper trash bins, etc. In this manner, we can continue to feel God's presence through nature.
Young people must learn from one's life experience. An individual must be careful, vigilant to what happens to him especially for him to be able to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, moral from immoral.
