Expressing yourself as a youth

As a youth myself, I believe everyone of us have brilliant and mind-blowing ideas and thoughts to be shared to others. Ideas for contributing to the society, ideas to make money and even ideas to improve the slightest things we do everyday.

But all this ideas and thoughts are put to waste as it is not presented out, ideas which are not shared to others but kept inside oneself until it is soon forgotten. Why and where does these ideas are left behind? Mainly is because we don't express it out in the right manner or so.

I don't really know what's the most "right" way to express ourselves but there's a few good example I can share about.

1. Blogging
Blogging is a way youths nowadays express themselves. A survey of youth is done, and surprisingly 90% of youths blog!!!! A simple way for us to talk craps, do our daily ramblings, emo posting and all sort of "wu liaw" things but it helps to inspire others to do things they normally didn't think of. A good example is kennysia.com.


2. Participating in any sorts of activities.
Participating in any form of activities in your very own university, college, school and even outside organizations gives you chance to give out your ideas. There are some youths that participated in all this activities and it just changes their life sky-rocketing. Good examples of this competitions are Nescafe Kick-Start, HSBC Entrepreneur Awards and The Firm.


3. Just try it out with friends
Just try out any ideas or thoughts with your closest friends and see what happens next. Just take it as a fun past time activity XD.

We get rejected and laughed at sometimes for the thoughts and ideas we have, but just keep a optimistic attitude and keep trying as that's the spirit we youths should have.

*I'm not promoting anything here, and these are just examples of the few ways I came to know about.
