plan

B I'm here today to talk to you about the fall of Our Generation and its ability to apply

plan

ning to I am here today to talk to you about how people, especially the

youth

, lost the will to aim for the Stars our generation is stuck in chairs, you can tell me that already socr foran thought the

youth

was disappointing, the belief That youth are empathetic and unwilling to work is a well-researched stereotype in our societies, however, history, through its numerous historical events, proved it wrong and still is through protests for change. climate and other environmental issues, however, this does not change the reality of a changing youth, a different youth.

Our generation takes performance enhancers to improve their academic and sports results. Research has shown increased use of metap fetan and amphetamine, which are The main components of these pills, these stimulants promote concentration and improve performance, but at what cost from both a medical and ethical point of view? Our generation spends about 6 hours on the phone browsing addictive content on social networks, according to statistics. The time a teenager spends on social networks is 2 and a half hours. These mechanisms, such as scrolling, commenting, liking, send dopamine to our brain, leading to addictive behaviors. Our generation is a victim of normative bias, which is a psychological phenomenon where people tend to underestimate the probability of a negative event thinking that everything will continue as it used to discourage them from fighting for hot-button issues like climate change, but can we blame them?

Can we judge them when we see everything that the past has left us? Just look around us and we see a broken climate, an economic recession and a social political landscape divided between the past and the future and yet we put pressure on our young people with the consequent hope that they can solve all the problems that none of us In this room he was able to resolve. So you can understand that our generation is afraid of the colossal number of challenges that have to be overcome in the future. You can understand that our generation prefers to sit in chairs, choose the safe option and stay in their illusory safe bubble.

Plan B, but how? I think it would have happened to history if people like Mahat Mandhi Nelson Mandela Martin l King Malala were afraid of what they were fighting for, afraid of everything that had to be overcome if they had not fought for their dreams, no matter what happened. , always fighting for what they thought. They were right, what do you think would have happened if they had not looked for the best for plan A? You can tell me that these are exceptions, people with particular skills, particular experience, these are not ordinary people, however, you cannot tell me that it is impossible.

You may not be afraid of everything that needs to change because you have power in each of your actions. You are capable of doing anything you want, so do something, change, act, wake up, get up, there is a lot to do for me personally. It's a little hard to relate when I see all the challenges that need to be overcome. I tend to overload myself with various activities and courses like this event today last year, it became so extreme that I ended up panicking at the mere thought of doing my homework. I was constantly planning everything so that everything would fit into 24 hours.

I didn't have a minute to myself. I guarantee it seems to work for a few months until you get worn out. Most people ask me why I did it. I do all this, the first reason is because sometimes I feel like I have to compensate for all the opportunities I have and other times not taking advantage of them all. Sometimes I feel like I have responsibilities towards people I don't even know just because I was born in a country without war. I have access to food and good education and anyway, if I'm not going to do it, who's second reason?

It's because I'm afraid of missing out on my life. I'm afraid to wake up one morning. and I realize that I haven't done everything I wanted to, so to conclude this I am not asking you to do everything, take the time to rest and listen to your body, however, even the smallest action makes a difference, We all make a change. we all make a difference we do it on our scale at our level but we make a change and you may not even realize it and we have to Value the differences they are essential they change the world little by little but they do it do not be discouraged by the amount of challenge and take advantage of the opportunity take advantage of your opportunity to change the world start that project go to that class go to the gym go out breathe enjoy you can change the world we can all aim for the best aim for the best for you for your family and for the world, don't worry. limits to plan B, shoot for the stars because we deserve it, it's okay if we don't end up completing plan A exactly like Blended out, but the main point is to aim for it. for the best, no matter what, aspire to better access to mental health care, aspire to better and equal education, try to integrate AI into our lives and aspire to many more, we only have one life and there is no time to repent, so defend the history of our generation.

It hasn't been written yet and I ask you once again if you feel comfortable sitting there in your chair.
