As we've said in our previous article, Pathfinders are special breed of courageous men in the military who seek the path that other units may follow. They are assigned for varying reasons. But whatever those reasons may be, still, it is the ability and the courage to take the lead that matters.
Who are the Pathfinders of today? There are a lot of people called as innovators, leaders, and motivators. These people set the examples for others to follow. People we look up to. Are they the Pathfinders of our society? But I believe that they are just but few compared to what I see as the new Pathfinders.
Our YOUTH.
How many young people are there today? This group of individuals is the future. The YOUTH IS OUR FUTURE. Should there be Pathfinders in our society, it should be the young ones. It could be your brothers or sisters. It could be your sons or daughters. It could be your students. A kid from your neighborhood. It could be your friend. It could be any young one you know.
If our youth are our Pathfinders, do we give then enough courage and motivation to be one? What have we been giving them? How do we train them? Do we train them to be leaders? Trailblazers? Pathfinders? What do we equip them?
As members of the society who have gone ahead of them, it is our responsibility to provide them with all the help they can get to go on with their lives and be the best of who they are. We have learned so much that we know what our young people of today would have to face. Let us help them by showing our support, love and care for them.
These young ones are going to live longer days than most of us. They have so much to do and accomplish. And how are we training them?
We, the grown-ups, are too busy living our lives and racing for success, power, fame and fortune. In the process we sometimes forget that there are young individuals behind us. Looking up to us. Watching our every move. Listening to our every words. What are we giving them? When was the last time you've been cautious with your words or actions because of these young ones?
How we treat and train our youth would be our legacy on Earth.
The youth are seeking answers to their questions. But are we there to answer them? They are looking for directions, but all we do is confuse them. They want to talk but we seldom care to listen.
How are we guiding them? What are we teaching them? They are growing up in the days of confusion and disorientation. They are looking for a hand to lead them. Ears that would listen to them. Shoulders they could cry on. Arms that would embrace them. Eyes that would look after them. Lips that speak for their cause. Hearts that would care and love them. They are looking for their path. Let us all help them find it. Make them the Pathfinders who will lead the charge among their groups.
