The story looks at the various aspects of a teenage mind and tries to deliver a message to the readers who can utilize these messages in their own life. The teenage mind, contrary to all the confusing data disproving their focus, is a powerful untapped resource. Teenagers are generally at a certain level of life in which they are bit confused about their feelings and their ambitions. The education system in most of the countries of the world does not focus on unlocking the potential of the teenage mind which can be exceptionally creative and analytical. In societies too teenagers are considered as rookies who do not have any seriousness or expertise to do anything of value. They are supposed to only focus on their studies and aim to receive good grades. They are also generally dependent on their parents for financial support which blocks the freedom of thinking independently. But, if we look at the stories of successful people who have changed the course of societies and history then we would find that these men and women first identified their unique gifts in their teenage years. There are people like Steve Jobs and Bill Gate, who started in their teenage years, changed the way the people communicate and compute. Many teenagers are stuck at the mediocre level from which they are not able to release themselves for their whole life. The inferiority complex and lack of confidence which they had in their teenage years haunts them till the end of their life. Interact with any unsuccessful person and enquire about his/her teenage years you would find the lack of efforts during those precious years to break the shackles of mediocre thinking. So, it becomes extremely important for every individual to take the responsibility of their lives with improved thinking patterns and actions.

It is to be noted that every teenager irrespective of country, race, caste, color, religion, language and gender has similar potential to achieve greatness. This is the responsibility of the elders that they are able to unlock the mind and energy of the teenagers. It is in the grasp of every teenager, who is ready to take challenges and responsibilities, to bring the necessary changes and improvements in the society.

The Sleeping Giant

Victors birthday was coming to end but he has not felt it yet. As always, he was staring at the clock hung in the middle of the wall with contrasting color, the wall was light yellow and the clock was with the distinct red color. This clock was his main companion for last three years. He remembered the clock was gifted by Uncle Musa in the fifteenth anniversary of mom and dad. As it was an extra clock it was suggested by papa to put in Victors room. But it was kept on the table and remained there for full one week. Why arent they putting it every day, at least ten times, Victor thought about it already my table is small and I am not able to use it properly. Seventh day Victor saw a thin layer of mud stuck to it. He could see it, even touch it. He wrote a big V with his index finger cutting through the layer of mud on the box of clock. The written V looked massive as if it is shouting and saying that I belong to Victor. He smiled at it. Mom, why this box is kept here? Victor asked. No reply. Mom, mamma again, no reply. Mamma, this box is just filling my table, I am not able to use it properly. Which box? Mom counter-questioned her only child. That red colored box which was kept by papa, last week Victor shouted back. Oh, that is a clock for you, put it in your room Mom instructed. Victor came near the box and cleaned it with the cloth kept on the side stool, he did not like the color much as blue was his favorite. On opening it was a medium sized red colored clock with seconds hand in addition to hour and minute.
