If Many Of Our Young People Have

Eleanor Roosevelt

If many of our young people have lost the excitement of the early settlers, who had a country to explore and develop, it is because no one remembers to tell them that the world has never been so challenging, so exciting... perhaps the older generation is often to blame with its cautious warning: “take a job that will give you security, not adventure.” but i say to the young: “do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. you have no security unless you can live bravely, excitingly, and imaginatively; unless you can choose a challenge instead of a competence.
