LETS DO IT !

Introduction

Once I read somewhere that a person in his old age feels that he doesn't know anything. A middle-aged person wonders whether he really knows anything. It is only a young person who feels confident and sure that he knows everything. Elderly people feel that youngsters feel too much of themselves; they presume to know everything, and dismiss old people as if they know nothing. To some extent it is true as well. In our youth, for whatever reason, we think that we know everything. I heard a nice joke. A father called his young boy and said, "Let us discuss about life." And the young boy said, "Ok, tell me what you want to know!"

Young people get very enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is a good thing, but over-enthusiasm causes problems. Similarly confidence is also a good thing, but over-confidence causes problems. We can see how youngsters speed on their motorbikes or cars!

All of you are in the prime of youth, looking forward to the next stage in your life, planning what you are going to do. At this time it is good to understand a few points. If you really want to become successful and make a mark in life, then there are certain prerequisites. Nothing happens just like that. Many people have a wishful thinking that things will happen automatically. 'One fine day I will become a great person! A wonderful person!' The only thing that happens automatically, without any effort is, 'growing old!' But no one wants to grow old automatically. We like to make the best of life. So, give the benefit of doubt to your parents and the older generation, they may not be men of letters. Perhaps they never went to school; but they have gone through the school of experience in their life. They have learnt something. Hence, learn your first lesson – humility. So, be grateful to all the earlier generations for what they have done. Gratitude and humility are very important qualities that you must cultivate. Without humility, you cannot learn anything.

Anyone who wants to start a factory, industry or business, in whatever field it may be, has one common requirement – capital. If wealth is there, then you can invest it in any area you want. Similarly, you need to have good health and physical fitness for whatever you want to do. If you want to become a sportsman, you can train for the game of your choice, but first of all you must be physically fit. It is the basic common requirement for anything that you wish to take up. And if basic things are not taken care of, greater achievements will not be possible. Also, consistency of effort or practice is required to keep you alert and fit.

There are 315 million young people aged 10–24 years in India, representing 30 percent of the country's population. This cohort is healthier, more urbanized, and better educated than earlier generations. At the same time, these young people face significant risks related to sexual and reproductive health, and many lack the knowledge and power they need to make informed sexual and reproductive health choices. These vulnerabilities remain poorly understood and served, and it is only since the mid-1990s that researchers and policymakers have begun to investigate these issues. Even so, information on intimate partnerships among youth—female and male, married and unmarried—is sparse, and evidence is practically nonexistent that identifies the factors that protect young people’s abilities to ensure their own sexual and reproductive health and their autonomy to make informed and wanted health decisions. There is a need, therefore, to undertake a nationally or subnationally representative study of the situation and needs of young people in India. Be a strong person with a vision. It is the need of the hour. Vision and a sense of direction which are needed in today's world, are lacking. We talk of guided missiles, but they are in the hands of misguided people! Imagine the disaster that will follow! Once you become a visionary and learn to harness all your energy, achieve that vision. No longer will you be a victim of circumstances, but the master of your destiny, a master of circumstances. Your life can become a blessing to yourself and to others.

The country is governed at three levels:

· At the national level, through the 795 members of Parliament Rajya Sabha (250 members), Lok Sabha (545 members).

· At the state level, through 4100 members of state legislatures in 28 states and 7 union territories.

· At the village and district levels, through more than 3 million elected representatives of rural and urban local bodies. Almost a third of these representatives are women.

Policies are generally made at the national level, and implemented at state and local levels.

The student community

Students in India have a history of being at the forefront of struggles for democratization and social justice. Because of their militant commitment to social transformation, they have often suffered state violence and repression. The education system in India is increasingly being modified to fit the requirements of industrialization and private profit. The education system is being made more elitist and exclusive in order to justify and ensure class stratification, discrimination against women, minorities, the working class and the peasantry, forcing the majority of youth into wage labour or the hopelessness of unemployment.

Weight of votes

Many election are held to the ideal of “one person, one vote,” meaning that every voter’s votes should be counted with equal weight. So it is our responsibility to elect right person and send him to he right place. There is always we have option while choosing our representative, but some times because of short time personal greed’s we elect the wrong person and create problem for long term.
