【正确答案】The Qualifications for a Good Youth of Today
People's values change with time. So arc the qualifications for a good youth, In different ages, people have different requirements for the young generation. Some have changed and some remain the same. In my opinion, good qualifications should at least include the following aspects.
First of all, one should have a special ability or talent. In this information age, ability appears to be more important than ever before. If only you are good at managing a company, or at singing, or at dancing, or at a stunt, anything else, you will be popular and admirable. The value of an individual trait has acquired the biggest importance ever in history. This is the result of the strengthened self-value.
Secondly, one must be flexible and open to new things. Stubbornness is not popular. One must adapt to the development of society and accept new things quickly. Those conservative, obedient young people are no longer taken as models. They may dangerously become the laugh stock. You will be taken as cool if you could play the latest, most complicated computer games, or if you run a business in a different manner, or if you could use your wit, exert your sense of humor in work and life to make the atmosphere lively or get rid of a dull or embarrassing moment.
Thirdly, one must have the spirit of teamwork. People are getting more and more dependent on each other with the more complicated division of labor. Cooperation has become an important principle in social communication and work. When each individual is more than ever concerned about personal achievement, a rule to regulate each individual's behavior becomes necessary. When you respect the rule, you are showing respect for other members in the team and to some extent each individual's interests are protected. The spirit of teamwork guides everyone to respect the rule.
Fourthly, one must possess physical and mental health. Constant physical training helps one look physically charming and energetic, vital and strong enough to cope with the high pressure and challenge of work. Without health, little could be achieved. Mental health on the other hand assumes the same importance. One should be optimistic, tolerant, confident, sympathetic to live happily and make others around him/her happy too.
Last but not least, one should be hard-working. But the diligence mentioned here is a little different from the traditional one. One is not required to suffer or sacrifice so much. All success requires hard work. That is true for sure. But nowadays hard work and leisure are not so much contradictory as they used to be.
To sum up, the above are what I think the qualifications for a good youth of today. Most young people try to be accepted by the society as qualified citizens. Their ability, flexibility, cooperation, health and diligence will qualify them to be good youth.
