I will encourage you when you are old - There are only certain things that I will encourage you when you are young, if you are studying, if you are reading, if you are writing but if you will come up with anything different when you are young. I will totally ignore it,make fun of it or even ask you not to do it.
This is not said but done. we almost forgot the power of encouraging young people at a young age and instead encourage them when they are old. A lot of young people are interested in sports, arts, music but we do not find these activities as important as studying which is what is important to them as education is.
Ever thought how young people spend their vacations? they spend it online, on facebook, on twitter. Ever thought how young people would spend their vacations if they were encouraged? they would spend it playing a sport, working on an art material, playing music. If these activities are seen as distractions to young people during their education time, you may not be acknowledged with how much time young people spend online doing not more than nothing everyday and every hour and during their education time.
Young people like to have the support to what they like besides what they do not. We encourage them for their studies and tell them because we care. They do not see this care and should not see it because they do not find this care towards what they like. so next time you ask a young person not to 'waste their time' in these activities think on what they would choose as an alternative to these activities.
