Positive Noise

Share

Noise is an unpleasant thing. But sometimes the only way you can make yourself heard is by making some noise. This planet is home to over 7 billion people; surely we must be quite a loud bunch! So, in order to be heard, one needs to raise one’s voice occasionally.

However we should be mindful of the things we say. You’re not given a voice just so that you can say whatever you feel like saying. We should bear a certain degree of sensitivity to our surroundings. You’re given a voice (and a brain!) so that you can make the right sound at the right time.

As university students we are capable of making positive noise, starting with the things that have a direct impact on us. Each and every one of us has a right to have an opinion, and no one can take that away from us. My opinion can be different from yours. And that’s acceptable.
What’s not acceptable is not respecting that difference.

We are unique in our own ways and that’s a good thing. Some people may try to tell us that we’re all the same and that we should act accordingly. Setting our differences aside and working together is one thing; but being forced to behave in the same manner is an entirely different matter altogether.

Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself and for the things you truly believe in.The one thing that will remain with you for the rest of your life is your conscience. Do what’s right and don’t hesitate to say NO to something you don’t agree with.
Go ahead, and make some positive noise 🙂
