But [b]AndrewPKYap... you forget that some youth in other
parts of the world -
1) Don't even get a chance to go
to school.
2) Are sold as sex slave to rich ppl.
3) Work 16hrs a day to pay off a family debt, taken by their
grandfather.
4) Force to fight in war as child soldier.
5) Marry of at a age of 6-8 as a young bride.
6) Be a mother at 12yrs because it is the Village way of
life.
7) Use as a human bomb..... Etc.....
I'm sure if you are ever elected as the 'ruler' of some
country..... U will use ur 'power' to make life better for the
youth... like -
1) No need to study hard, but
still get a degree
2) No need to work hard, Govt will look after....
3) No need to compete with outside world, Govt would close the
border to save them the suffering & stress of competation from
others
4) No need to worry about the future. Govt let you do what u want.
How 
I'm not sure
5) Free everything... (transport, schooling, medical... etc) But
how Govt pay for it..... Not sure again 
6) No NS at all.... how will the country be defenced.... hell if I
know
So, all I have to do is wait for the time when YOU have your own
prefer country to govern with. Thxs

If you always have to console yourself by comparing yourself to
other less privilege people. You might as well compare yourself to
chimpanzee, the difference is even greater, you will feel all the
more proud of your achievements irregardless of it's magnitude.
Don't you think so? If you want to make good comparisons, you
should always use similar critieria, or criteria higher than yours,
then only you can improve.
There is this Chinese saying, "ren wang shan pa, shui wang xia liu"
(humans climb to higher achievments, while water flows lower to
insignificance).
