PIDATO OR THE ROLE OF YOUTHS (STUDENT) IN THE ERA OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Asslamu’alaikum wr.
Wb.
Firstly, all praises be to Allah, the God who create human being and
teaches them knowledge and languages. May peace be always on our prophet
Muhammad SAW, who has brought us from darkness to the modern life.
Ladies and gentlemen …..
It is a great pleasure for me to have the
opportunity to deliver a speech on the subject of the role of Youths (student)
in the era of National development.
Let me star by informing you that we are facing
the modern era that full of challenges. We, as youth generation, have no choice
except to be brave in facing the challenges. Concerning the fact, let us
improve our knowledge, let us study hard. We know that education should be the
first priority. It is the base need, so that it can not be bargained. With a
good and serious education, we will be a good, ethos, reliable and professional
generation.
Ladies and gentlemen …..
Nowadays, societies do need the help (service)
of educated and generous people, who are able to speak up and make innovation.
Therefore, they can help the societies quickly, accurately, generously, and
interestingly.
We may not be too slow, too easy going, think
about nothing, waiting for the miracle down from the sky. Let us be motivated.
Let us be ready to study, struggle, and reach for achievement, so that we can
be good smart honest and polite generation.
Honorable judges and my beloved friends ……
As we are still young, use our time as well as
possible. Never put of what you can do today until tomorrow. The wise man said
“TIME IS SWORD”. It means that if we use the time well, we will feel happy and
peace. On the contrary, if we do not use the time well, the time will kill us.
Therefore, our time will be useless. The sharp (keen) sword that we hold as the
weapon will kill ourselves because we don’t use it well. Out of concern, we are
getting older, getting weaker, finally die without anything.
Ladies and gentlemen
……..
The Prophet also said:
Keep five things before another five come. One
of the five is: keep your youth before you get old. The hadith is very suitable
for our guidance. We may not be proud of our youth soul that use the time
freely with the reason we are still young. That is absolutely wrong reason.
There is Indonesian proverb “KELAPA MUDA
KUPAS-KUPASIN KELAPA TUA TINGGAL BATOKNYA” (waktu muda puas-puasin waktu tua
tinggal tongkaknya) (FRESH COCONUT TO BE PARED, OLD COCONUT LEAVES ITS HUSK,
till young reach for satisfaction, getting old gain nothing)
My beloved friend …….
The development of country depends on its
generation. If we have good generation, we will have a good country. If we have
bad generation, we will have bad country. So, reach the knowledge more and
more. Make your dream come true. Ask not what your country can for you, but ask
what you can do for your country.
Ladies and gentlemen …
In conclusion, I would like to remind us to
study hard and let us give our best to our county. God willing, our lovely
country – Indonesia – in the future become a good country with good societies
and full of prosperity……..
Thank you!
Wassalamu’alaikum wr. Wb.
