Advice for teens from a HS Principal

Above is a message of advice to teens. At first it sounds a bit harsh, but in the end Principal John Tapene quotes a wonderful observation that gives teens suggestions of things that could do to have an effect on the world. It reminds me quote by Gandhi that says, "Be the change you wish to see in this world." It also reminds me of another quote by Thoreau, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams." 

"Go" is an action word, and this message is all about going....it is advising action. You are the future. Let your light shine and help the world to move forward towards improvement and peace. If you always ask God what He wants you to do He will show you. Are you ready to become His hands and feet in the world. 

Scripture says...

Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
1 Corinthians 12:2

Are you willing to participate in the body of Christ? What talent do you have that you are willing to share with others whose lives you touch. In the end it is much more satisfying than you can even imagine. 

What do you think about this?
