this

essay, I will discuss the benefits

then

describe the disadvantages of

this

message. On the one hand, telling young

people

such

a message has some benefits.

First,

they will have unlimited dreams.

This

is down to young generations having the motivation that everything is possible.

For example

, nowadays, most of the unprivileged students in Indonesia are successful in entering

Ivy League universities,

such

as Columbia, Stanford, and Harvard.

Furthermore

,

this

kind of message can lead young

people

to be highly confident about their future. Take Jokowi,

for example

; he was nothing until the young version of him became a Solo Mayor (one of the cities in Indonesia) and now a president. On several occasions, he frequently mentioned that his achievement would not have happened if he did not believe in his dream and strive for it.

On the other hand

, there are several drawbacks, like the tendency to blame themselves and just play it safe. These

people

will question why they fail when some

people

get what they want.

As a result

, they tend to have low self-confidence. If

this

happens, either they will limit their opportunity by not taking any risks or, in the worst case, these young

people

will end their lives.

For instance

, it was reported that a lot of Korean students who choose to be ordinary sellers give up on their dreams because they no longer believe in their self-worth.

Besides

, in the worst case, young generations decided to commit suicide just because they could not enter the universities that they wished for.

To conclude

, having unlimited dreams and shaping them to have high self-esteem are the benefits of telling the

that they can accomplish their desired things by struggling enough.

However

, it can cause some drawbacks,

such

as making them a safe player, and they will blame themselves if they are unable to get those things.
