Helping Teenagers all over the world to grow and become more confident and faithful in themselves. To build a brighter future.

As the citizens of tomorrow, us young people should be able to build confident,faithful,and more optimistic characters in order to survive in tomorrow's ups and downs. "We are a product of our own thoughts" as Stephan Covey says. So why not think in a better and more ambitious way? All young teenagers should find out about their limitless power and imagination.They should all strive to work diligently and faithfully towards attaining their goals.

    Dec 23 2012: Please take this matter seriously and sacrifice a few minutes of your time thinking about it. I am sure if we build a stable and confident youth character, tomorrow's world will be a better and brighter one. We should guide that young onto the right path and help them attain their dreams and goals.

      Dec 23 2012: Reza, please know that most adults have given MORE than a few minutes thought to the importance of young people's understanding that diligence and learning are key factors in leading gratifying and productive lives. I don't think what you are putting forward in that respect is very controversial. From your writing "please take this matter seriously and sacrifice a few minutes of your time thinking about it," I think perhaps you don't realize how much time adults spend thinking about this sort of question, both in the case of their own children and youth more broadly.

      An exception may be what you mean by "limitless power." I think convincing anyone he has limitless power, regardless of the person's age, is a hard sell, but that aspect of your case is not necessary to promoting interesting and productive lives. If one makes that argument to young people and they find that their paths are not strewn with limitless victories over the obstacles, they may begin to doubt all the other valid advice and encouragement they have been given or to blame themselves entirely for what they don't achieve.

        Dec 23 2012: I have to admit and concur to what you said Fritzie. I think there is a difference between thinking about an idea and really implementing through blood,sweat and tears. What I really like to see is showing teenagers some examples and famous people. We have to teach them about reading. I am sure that every teenager can succeed in his/her life by reading 1)The 7 habits of highly effective people and 2)How to think and grow rich by stephan covey and napoleon hill respectively.

        It is true that is we tell them they have limitless power they won't buy that;but what if we tell them to try it and see if it works. You mentioned failure. If we teach through the right ways that failing, failing and failing again is all they need to succedd, then they will finally come to understand. Anyhow, this work requires faith and hard work as teenagers will not easily be persuaded. But it is POSSIBLE.
