The world needs young people

Still not feeling 100% so if something don't make scense or I say something really dumb you can blame it on that!

This is what Jono added to everyones warm fuzzies on camp-

The world needs young people
-who cannot be bought;
-whose word is their promise;
-who put character above wealth;
-who possess opinions and a will;
-who are larger than their work;
-who do not hesitate to take chances;
-who will not lose their individuality in a crowd;
-who will be as honest in small things as in great things;
-who will make no compromise with wrong;
-whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires;
-who will not say they do it "because everybody else does it";
-who are ture to their friends through good times and bad times, in adversity as well as in prosperity;
-who do not believe that shrewdness, sneakiness and hard-headedness are the best qualities for winning success;
-who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth when it is unpoplular;
-who can say "no" with emphasis, although all the rest of the world says "yes".

Charles Swindoll, 'Living above the level of mediocrity, p.1078.
