[My apology - I am posting after a long gap because i was in Nepal engaged in Earthquake relief. However that is not enough a good excuse not writing your post. Still, I will try my best to continue writing in my spare time]
Here I refer to “we” as Thakali youths. I would like to
share some principle that we can follow to build our community as “think tank”,
which is possible given the resource we have with us. I call the principle in
short as 3 RWC, which goes as follows:
- Read Read and Read (3Rs)
- Write Write and Write (3Ws)
- Communicate Collaborate and Coordinate (3Cs)
Now is the time of survival through your intellect and hard
work at individual as well as group level. Failed in this struggle for
survival, we are going to be a rare endangered species and whatever we speak of
or cry with clichés or arm flexing would mean nothing, since it is always
better to do your homework earlier, timely and complete. I am saying this
because you like it or not, we are in the verse of becoming a “rhinocerous”.
Everybody like to talk of saving it but inside, “who cares!!” attitude prevails
among us. After all, we may think that “I am comfortably in my nest that is
more than enough”. This is a dangerous attitude; we need to clear from our
psyche at the earliest.
It is therefore high time that we get our house in order and
this is not going to be easy, but a hard work, you have 24 hours of time as
your best resource. We got to value “24 hrs” dearly and miserly, if we want to
be like “ant”, which survives any adverse situation through team work. All
these responsibilities have to beared by Thakali youths, like it or not !!
Period. Having shared this picture, I see there are solutions if we put it into
action. Among them, let me propose 3 RWCs principle that is based on sound base
of academia. This must be like “mantra” for all of us, so question comes how we
can inculcate this mantra among our youths? Sure there are ways to put this
principle into action. For that, Thakali
Yuva Pariwar (TYP) can play a proactive role. Apart from whatever activities
TYP is engaged with, Toastmaster International (http://www.toastmasters.org/)
can be an additional activity, which can benefit our community in raising new
leadership from Thakali youths, so we can do following to put 3 RWCs principle
in action:
- Organize toastmaster club in Thakali Samaj Ghar through consensus
- Open library that caters knowledge thirst and it should encourage scholarship, debate and discussion among Thakali youths
- Start internship, mentorship and Voluntership among Thakali youths
- Conduct yearly oration competition among Thakali youths
