Reflect
• How did you feel when you read your
paper?
Do you agree/disagree with the
“leadership” traits that were listed?
Fiji’s youths lack role models who could possibly show them the right path for a better
future, says Father Kevin Barr. And this he says, is a major obstacle for youth
leadership in the country.
“It is a pity that Fiji youths do not have a good role model, there is just so much
disharmony and opposition amongst political parties and religious groups which has
left today’s youths in a vulnerable situation,” Fr Barr said.
He said unlike United States President Barrack Obama, who is looked upon as a role
model by many in the world, Fiji does not have any prominent figure on whose advise
and footsteps the youths of the country could follow.
There are mentors like Sevens maestro Waisale Serevi and some others but at a lesser
level, he said. Youths he said should be encouraged to exercise their abilities to the
best.
He said youths should adapt President Obama’s motto of ‘Yes, we can’ in their lives to
every opportunity they get to succeed. “Don’t be discouraged as there will be many
ups and downs along the path to success. Be confident on your plan and work hard
towards it,” he has advised youths.
