Something To Think About?

Hmmm...

A friend found this wile surfing the other day; We always seem to hear the plaintive cry of teenagers - what can we do, where can we go we're bored. And the answer is? Go home! Wash the windows, paint the woodwork, rake the leaves, scrub some floors, repair the sink, wash the car, learn to cook, build a boat, get a job, visit the sick, assist the poor, study your lessons and then when you are finished and not tired, read a book. Your town does not owe you recreation facilities, your parents do not owe you entertainment and the world does not owe you a living.You owe the world something. You owe it your time, energy and talents, so that no one will be at war, or in poverty or sick or lonely again. In plain, simple words, grow up: stop being a cry baby, get out of your dream world, develop a backbone, not a wishbone, and start acting like a man or a woman. Australia needs your help for survival. You are important and you are needed. It is too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday. Some day is now and somebody is you!
