12 January 2022
Today, January 12 is celebrated as national youth day and it is the birthday of Swami Vivekananda who introduced the world to the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and Yoga.
The main objective of NYD is to promote rational thinking among the youth. Youth is expected to rise to the values, principles and beliefs that Vivekananda lived by. To make this possible the theme of youth days keeps changing, every year there are different themes.
The theme for National Youth Day 2022 is “ IT'S ALL IN THE MIND ”
We are now passing through a pandemic situation and it had affected the world as well as our country adversely. A post Covid era need a strong group of people with creativity and resilience. For that a healthy mindset is important.
The youth of our country had already affected with unemployment and it has increased due to the pandemic. The financial instability and effectiveness of online education are some uncertainties before us. But all these can be overcame. Here comes the importance of the theme of 2022, yes it is all about our thought! As young people we have to analyse and study the challenges before us and should find a solution. Don't afraid to speak up and act for a better world. It's our responsibility to contribute to the world with innovating ideas and new movements in social, economic and environmental levels. Along with concentrating on our gains we should make sure that no one is left behind us and it is definitely a Herculean task!
We must use our skills in shaping the world. For that, the use of technology as well as the qualities like empathy, better communication skill, cultural intelligence etc. should be employed. Our society has changed a lot from the ancient one and the role of people like Swami Vivekananda is very important in that change.
They have passed the chance to renovate the world to the youth.
"We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far"
Yes, now the baton is in our hands! Use it wisely, work hard for a glorious future and hope for the best!
It's all in the Mind....
