Answer 2

Put your outstanding skills and talents to full use so that people in your own society and others from other places benefit from whatever contribution you may give to the world.Through what you can give, you may make what are accepted as difficult easy and convenient; what more you may make the impossible possible.
Make a difference also by not conforming to accepted immoral practices such as cheating, spouse grabbing and surviving even at the expense of others. The practice of giving in to physical and emotional attraction even some people will be hurt and affected negatively certainly needs to be checked. Elimination of the " I don't care, as long as I am happy" attitude from the human system would certainly add point/s to make a better world. Many people suffer and relationships are broken because there are very few good people who are willing to sacrifice for others. Good works can't pay or cover for damage done by infidelity and what the West erroneously magnifies -INDIVIDUALITY( which unfortunately is extremely denied in oher socities.) A couple maybe praised for charity, but nobody raised eyebrows for the duo committing adultery. Believing this way this may sound old fashion and out-of-this world, but are you not asking how to make a difference in this world?
Running for a political position as a means of social and economic advancement is an accepted practice in this part of the world. Do something about it.
For young people, give a serious to your studies, so you don't have to cheat during examination. If everyone is cheating and you are ostracized for not doing the same, don't regret doing the right thing. You can make a difference

Answer 3

Everyone wants to become something !!

When I grow up I want to be an engineer so I could provide shelters for the poor and the needy. I would gift houses to the poor. I would think about to reduce the level of pollution in the world. At the last, but not the least I would give shelters to the people who have lost there houses in earthquakes, hurricanes etc

And

I want to be what I am: a teenager.... because its only the youngsters who have the power to change the world and make a ripple in it, whether a big ripple or a small ripple ...
Being a good human being will be enough to make a difference on Planet Earth, a simple smile or a "Good morning" a day is enough to light up someones day and make that person smile throughout the day.... so isn’t that a difference made in the world?
i gotta help everyone in this world
this world rocks !!
i love my world

Answer 4

I am a current sophomore in school and I am very inquisitive; I must know everything I possible can so that one day when it's my turn to be the teacher, but I realize that no matter what age an individual is, they are never too old to be the student. I believe that knowledge makes the world go around no matter what form it takes. From news casting to gossip, one may never know too much.

It is during the finer years of one's life- the six years that follow elementary school- that is spent more or less developing the skills necessary for succeeding in life. It is now which I deem the most important years to take advantage of which is why I no-doubtedly decide that when I'm older I wish to do it all over again; Except this time look down on who I once was. It is now, the best years of my life, that I decide I wish to teach the future form of my once-youthful-years. It is now that I decide that I wish to be a high school teacher and a good one at that.

Answer 5

I am interested in science since I was of 8 years. I want to be a scientist. Being a scientist I will find ways to reduce the population rate that is increasing everyday. I will find ways to reduce the greenhouse effect of gases like Carbondioxide, carbonmonoxide, sulphurdioxide etc.
These percentage of these gases in air is not at all decreasing whereas, its increasing every day. Which is increasing the temperature as a result the ice of polar regions is melting with a very fast rate.
The green house effect can lead to the end of our earth.
The greenhouse effect is not only the aspect that ccan lead to destruction of life on earth, astronomers have also found that the volume of the sun, the ultimate source of energy, has been increased by 10% since it's birth and this increase in volume of the sun will continue to go on in the future as well, and a time will come when the sun will become another source for the destruction of, our home, the planet earth because of the intense heat of the sun.
All the scientists are not agreed that these thing will happen in our future but getting ready now won't cause a harm to us. I want to find the solutions for such problems that may occur in our future so that if we can't face these problems in future but still we can get ready for them.

Answer 6

Even Hitler was not able to do that. But, nevertheless, I shouldn't loose hope. So..lets see...i would really want to make great contribution in the field of nano-technology. As i am just 13, i don't really know the depths of this matter, but still, i have a crave for this field. You can compare it with the crave of a bear to honey. Nano-technology isn't popular in india yet, but i hope that channels like the National Geographic Channel and the Discovery channal popularize it among the people, especially the youth. Anyways, back to the topic now. It is said and even believed that if humans learn to alter and modify extremely tiny objects, the size of a nanometer, then it could prove to be extremely useful in the long run. I don't wanna be a scientist who invents or discovers things, but, as a matter of fact, i would like to lead the pre-existing knowledge to even greater heights. Nano-tech has a very bright future with sunshine and blossomed springs all around it. it can be used to make paint which is not affected by corrosive substances. It could also be used to make the metals harder and change their basic properties "from the inside". With the invention of steel, the whole world shook and a kind of revolution took place. Similarly, if an even better metal could be produced, it could trigger off another revolution. All in all, i would love to play an active part in this enchanted field when i grow up.

Answer 8

I want to do many things in life to change the world. To start off I have started an online business that sells not only products but offers solutions.

Answer 10

I want to become a cardiologist.
Many have come and gone but until now i haven't felt that ample amount of research has been done in this fiels. Heart being the two of the most delicate organs in humans has many perils over its head. Someday i believe to regenerate heart tissue by using stem cells from the pre embryonic cloning stage with the help of genetic engineers. This feat would also mark the begining of the era where the death rates and deformities in and by heart could be appropriately controlled by heart surgeons.This is my dream and i believe to make a difference to the world by this deed. At present i am a high school student of standard 11 and i wish to fulfill my this ambition either being the first one to do it or the other.

Answer 11

I would like to do the noblest thing a person can ever do - be a teacher.

By being a teacher, I can make sure I touch the hearts of hundreds and teach the people of tomorrow how they can make the world a better place.

Teachers are the greatest source of inspiration for young children.
To quote a poet,
"For, the dawn of every
Philosopher and king
Begins with a teacher
And the wisdom they bring"
A great teacher inspires better learning, and every good moral which is taught will lead to the creation of a better person, or a change of heart for the good, or the growth of a scientific temperament, or the encouragement of an artist.

I believe that all great men have a teacher behind them, someone who can be the lap of the mother, the shoulder of the father and the arms of a friend... , guiding and protecting them while the they strive to make the world a better place.


A teacher does not necessarily have to be a teacher at school. So, no matter what profession I choose - be it a businessperson, a doctor or a scientist, I will make sure I teach. Even if I cannot do so in a classroom, I will do so through my actions and words.
" A good teacher tells,
The better teacher explains,
The best teacher shows"
I now I can do it. I can help make the world a better place. As my greatest inspiration - my teacher - once told me, "It is all in my hands."
