Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Youth is wasted on the young.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

"If I had spent my time in another way when I was young, I would have made more successful achievement now." In retrospect, a waste of youth is often felt by those "mature adults". However, life can not be relived and if we recall our golden days with gratitude, we would find that we are endowed with the most cherish experience during youth. Unlimited possibilities, exciting longing for life, unprecedented courage to try, and those stupid yet lovely mistakes are all the treasures granted to those young. Thus, youth is not wasted but put into full wing on the young.

The keyword of youth is uncertainty. It is an entirely new world for the young. What is waiting on the road ahead? What do relationship, responsibility, and love mean? What is my position in the society? What is the meaning of my life? Too many questions are popping up and there is no one but ourselves that we can resort to in getting the answers. Therefore, we put our heart and soul to explore the different ways in our lives. Every day is filled with completely fresh and unpredictable experiences. With great passion, we try to touch, feel and learn from things surrounding us. It is a wonderful time and every minute is made fully use of in this term.

The most exciting feature of youth is those wishes we hold about tomorrow. We have enough time to venture, to struggle for our future. Almost every young people have the great ability of dreaming. I will become a famous politician. I will win the prominence in business circle. I would like to be a baker that can made the most delicious cake in the world. Everyone in youth will talk about their dream with undoubted confidence as if everyone is deemed to be successful. Yes. We are young, which means we have the time and energy to fight for our future. We believe in ourselves and the future is always shinning in our dreams.

Given those possibilities, motivated by our longing for the future, we are encouraged to take different attempts. Every road leads to Rome and every road leads to our dreams. Every one is ready for great venture. We dive deeply into the youth and try our best to find our own answers about life. One day I was told by an experienced businessman, "The most important thing that young people should do is to find his/her end of life. Then draw a straight line linking where you are now and the target. By doing so, you can save your time to success." Admittedly, it is an efficient way to spend one's time, but the future cannot be foreseen. The only method to find one's way is to try.

However, mistakes are inevitable in this process because we are entirely greenhorns in the world. Some of our ideas may seem stupid for those matured adults; some of our dreams are out of any practical sense; even our great passion and courage is regarded as lack of wisdom. Lots of mistakes are fulfilled in those lives of the young. Yet these are where we can get experience and become mature. No existent way to success is at hand. To learn by try-and-error is the utmost important right granted to those young by life.
