Impatient Youth Poem by Savita Tyagi

Impatient Youth

Rating: 5.0


How do you reason with a thought
Learned in haste; Work smart not hard!
How do you reason with impatient youth?
Wisdom of time is the lesson not taught in
Class, but with time spent to learn the skill
Coupled with ethics of hard work installed.
The brightest of star have to wait for the
Time span, its' light takes to reach the earth!

I love the opening line...how DO you reason with a thought? I guess it depends on the thought. A thought learned in haste...usually not one we can remember well. The line Work Smart Not Hard...is so true. There are no substitutes for time spent engaged in studies and the time it takes to acquire wisdom. Thanks Savita! :) Pam (Jette)

An impatient youth wants an immediate reward of mental and physical labor, he forgets light, too, takes some time to be reflected back. A great thoughtful poem.

Concept of light years is beautifully conveyed in the poem. Nothing is achieved without effort.

You have pointed the real problem with the young generation, they are in haste for achievements with lessons learned in schools even without basic experience in that field.. good advise.
