The World's Most Pressing Problem.

I was asked “what do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today,and how do you feel this problem could be solved”.
I couldn’t just wait for a second to answer this question as if it was the moment I was waiting for. I know we all have different answers to this question and I believe there are lot of pressing issues in the world and how you answer this may very much depend on which side of the angle you stand at a particular point in time.

For me the most pressing problem of this world is the want of committed young people. Most of us are not committed to anything we do. We do things probably because we are forced to or the said thing to be done is attached with incentives.

Commitment to excellence,commitment to time and even personal commitment are zero on the young generation's priority list.

Commitment is mostly assessed by the action or end results. You can only tell someone to commit himself or herself to a cause,that is just a suggestion and will forever remain so as long as the person does not see the need to. I believe it has more to do with intrinsic motivation rather than extrinsic. But even with that,some external forces can ignite this.

What I think can be done is to start from the homes. Children learn best by what they see or examples and I believe parents are the first teachers of their children. And then to the schools. Most causes now are mainly on the shortcuts to be millionaires paying little or no attention to the moral and ethical values. The smartest get it all. If courses are channeled towards building certain values,it can help a great deal.

Some people see commitment as an agreement or contract, others as a pledge or promise but I always love to define commitment as an attitude towards someone or something. I believe if we are committed to what we say and do,all other things will follow suit.
