Dearest One,
    Time and again, it has been said, and readily proven that the future of a community, a country or the whole world lies in the hands of the young people of its generation. This is true in my time. I am living in a time where the world has no lack for young dreamers  young visionaries. There is a vibrant zeal and idealism in this age and the world picks up its pace and speed to match the cadence of the young. Dynamic, and full of vigor, the youth of today slowly shaped the community where we belong. It is a time of boundless energy. A time where life is a blur and the world seems to move at break-neck pace. The rush and liberation of being young and energetic has inflicted the whole world. There is not much time and there is a world out there. The boom in communications and technology is proof to this. The world has been reduced to one global community, where everyone is connected, at a touch of a button or the click of a pointer. Yes, dearest one. Perhaps you may laugh at my thoughts as something archaic or obsolete by your standards. I understand. Our dreams taking shape what today has become used to be a laughing matter, too, with our elders, then. They dismiss it as mere fascination and too much television, but now, we are at the helm. The future has come, and the future is here and now. Such is the norm of life. Dear one, if there is one lesson I want to impart is the value of hard work and striving hard to reach for our dreams. After all, the amazing breakthroughs we have did not simply come about just like that. We worked hard for our dreams. We spent countless days and nights securing a good quality education, and when we were sent out from school, we held in our hearts that consuming dream of proving our own selves and finding our places under the sun  securing our own niches. This, dearest one, is something that should not escape your notice, and should be firmly planted in your hearts. After all, the conveniences we have right now is only a step towards achieving greater ends  towards reaching out and embracing what we can, far reaching beyond the stars, space, and even cutting though the borders of time. We are the wave of the future. Much as you are for your own generation. Never forget though, that while dreaming, we still have to keep our feet planted on the ground, but let our imaginations and aspirations steer us to un-chartered and unexplored territories. We should never stop reaching for our dreams. As one song goes  Dont stop believing. Dearest one, the future is here and now. The future is in your hands. Guard it well and let it be what your dreams and ambitions shape the future to be. As a popular movie character said, and in ending this letter, too, I say to you. May the force be with you.
