n English Judge in response to a teenager complaining there's no youth centres etc...
"The answer is this... Get off the internet, switch off your phone, leave your headphones at home and go outside and listen to the birds. Mow the lawn, wash the windows, learn to cook, build something, get a job, visit the sick, study hard, and after you've finished, read a book. Your city does not owe you recreational facilities and you were not made for fun. The world does not owe you a living, you owe the world something. You owe it your time, energy and talent so that no one will be at war, in poverty or sick and lonely again. In other words, grow up, stop being a cry baby, get out of your dream world and develop a backbone, not a wishbone. Start behaving like a responsible person. You are important and you are needed. It's too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday. Someday is now and that somebody is you. Do it now."
