For instance, Singapore youths dare to voice out their opinions and are willing to accept their mistakes. They are not afraid to fail, for victory is only sweet when they tasted defeats. They are also fast in changes. Given the hectic school life of youths, they can multi-task and adapt to the different environment quickly. Often than not, companies are more willing to hire young workers than older ones because they are usually very motivated in their work and some, career-driven. They dare to explore for new ideas and innovations. Such outstanding characteristic makes youth stretch their unlimited capacity to churn out greater ideas and innovations, bringing Singapore to a greater height of achievements, hence we can put Singapore's future in th hands of our youth.
