They call them a lost generation, people with no vision and they call them people that lack focus. I call them a generation that is chasing two rabbits at the same time. The youth of today have all the opportunities to excel and make something of their lives. They have no limitations, they are enjoying the freedom to associate with whom ever they want to associate with and they can study anywhere and study towards any discipline they desire to pursue.
Sadly the very same generation are wasting their time and energy persuing irrelevant things, they want to socialize more than adults and they want to live a life that is supposed to be lived by adults. The Youth of today make studying a second if not a third priority and they concentrate on having a nice time. They forget that in order to sustain one’s life, one has to finish what they started first, they have to finish their schooling life then start living a jovial life.
The Xhosa Nation have a term that mean the same thing, the term goes as follow “ Awunakubetha intake ezimbini ngelitye elinye” which means you cannot hit two birds with one stone. I wish the generation of my twins can fully understand that term because its impossible to pursue two different lifestyles at the same time, one has to give in and in most cases, the one that gives in is the one that is most important in one’s life. #smed12
