Have a cause!

Associate yourself to a cause!

It can be anything like fighting corruption or eradicating polio or even uplifting local school.

A life without a cause is pointless. This is the only way to make a better world and those things don't happen by itself. You cannot be detached from the world.

In one of my MBA class, we were asked to signup for some volunteering activity (we get credits for that). I signed up to teach 3rd grade students through Junior Achievement. That experience taught me about things outside my small world. We cannot shrink ourselves to our school-work-family-friends.

hobbies

Everyone should have a hobby!

In this rat race of life you need something to unwind your mind whenever you feel stressed. Otherwise, you will end up in depression.

patriotism in youth

Bottom line: NCC should be made compulsory in college.

This will make them realize where they belong if not to the extent of patriotism. Many countries make it compulsory for their youth to serve in their military for an year. It may be far fetched to ask in a country with a billion population but few hours of NCC in college will not affect the curriculum. This will bring lot of other positives in youth. They will start feeling that the country is theirs and will start to prevent bad things happening in front of them, if not, they will at least avoid having incessant strikes and be more responsible.

5000 years of civilization.

We have evolved so much since the beginning of civilization but still there is famine and war?

Shame on us.
