Perhaps, you\u2019re still passing through a tough time right now or are even about to. I may not understand the lot you&#8217;ve been through neither can I pretend to be in your shoes. But I can rub your feet when it hurts, I can empathize with you.<\/p>\n<p>Travel down memory lane. Do you still recall when you saw adults and wished the hands of the clock could just tick quickly and take you to where they were? As a kid, you thought they had it all together, as well as the freedom to do whatever they desired. Now that you have become like them, you wish you could go back in time to become a child again. The burden of adulthood really sucks, you think! The freedom you thought adults had has now become illusory. In my country, we use the phrase \u201cadulthood na scam\u201d to sum it up. It is clear that for every stage of life, there are inconveniences and the best you can do is to maximize each of these stages and enjoy it while it still lasts.<\/p>\n<p>Lingering thoughts of how your life should have been better easily make your mind their neighborhood. Those that went ahead of you didn\u2019t help to make your path smooth. It is now replete with bumps. Failed promises from politicians haven\u2019t helped either. The blame game then becomes inevitable. Fingers are pointed. The thumb to God, the index to parents and the other three back to the individual. The fact that three fingers point back at you means the solution to your anger is deep within you. Playing the blame game only makes you think you\u2019re smart, but has never made anyone a winner before. Maybe you should ask our ancestors Adam and Eve! I believe they\u2019ll explain this better to you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet no one despise your youth&#8230;\u201d says Paul, the famous writer of most epistles in the Bible. Oftentimes I see you despising yourself. Instead of despising your gifts, hone them. Yes, things aren\u2019t as big as you want them to be, your mates are earning bigger than you and touring their dream countries but here you are, still seeking employment. It is your diligence that\u2019ll serve as your pass ticket to the hall of nobles. While comparing yourself with your mates, please remember those who died. You have so much to be grateful for youngie! I know you\u2019re still trusting God for so many miracles, but do not lose the glimpse of what God has given you in the quest of bigger miracles. Being alive is the biggest miracle.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018win\u2019 will definitely come, but do not let the \u2018when\u2019 distract you. Consider a young Nigerian, Dorcas Sheffy Bello, the brain behind \u2018Unzipped Stories Africa.\u2019 She just got to the limelight this year after two years of consistent writing (an hour every day). Or Malala Yusafzai, a Pakistan activist who despite all odds became the youngest person ever to receive the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of fifteen. Then there is the little maid in Naaman\u2019s house, who saved him from leprosy and the young Joseph, who saved an entire nation from hunger. There are many more young people just like you and me. While still a tiny sperm, you won the marathon race involving one hundred million sperms just to form you! You began this life\u2019s race as a winner, so it\u2019s too late to give up now.<\/p>\n<p>You are called \u2018youth\u2019 not just for fancy, but because you represent energy, vitality, potential and the voice of change. I believe that you are the generation that will change the world. You are more connected than any generation before you, and you are more aware of the challenges we face. You are also more creative and innovative. You have the power to create a better future for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>My youngie, I know I may not solve whatever it is that you\u2019re passing through, but I pray you find hope in these words scribbled from my heart and in the air you still breathe. I am rooting for you!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ombugadu Blessing Sabo<\/strong> is a professional teacher of chemistry in Nigeria.
