        "content": "<p>Encourage initiative<\/p>\n<p>One more note must be made concerning the regrettable<br>\noccurrence which happened to the lecture by Dr. William Hefner<br>\nand the Indonesia Baru Foundation. It concerns the initiative,<br>\nwhich was taken by young people who, of their own free will, set<br>\naside some of their time, their interest and their energy for the<br>\nbenefit of many -- say, for the nation and the country.<\/p>\n<p>We regard this particular kind of young people as persons who<br>\nfreely and for no gain to themselves were willing to give. They<br>\nhold jobs or are students, yet still they were willing to give<br>\nsome of their time to be active in non-profit societal<br>\norganizations.<\/p>\n<p>Young Indonesians are heirs of their nation's historical<br>\nlegacy, they have studied the lives of their leaders, such as<br>\nthose of the nationalist movement. Our great personalities such<br>\nas Sukarno, Hatta, Sjahrir, H. Agus Salim and others were young<br>\n-- being either in high school or college -- when they gave their<br>\nintellectual powers, their drive and their service to the cause<br>\nof a Free Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>By contributing their thoughts and services and by being<br>\nactive in various associations and non-governmental<br>\norganizations, our present youths are also helping to enrich our<br>\nlives. They are trying to give us other values than merely<br>\neconomic ones.<\/p>\n<p>Possibly, in doing so, those young people may violate some<br>\ntechnicalities or become over-enthusiastic. Perhaps even there is<br>\na risk that stability may be upset.<\/p>\n<p>Let us consider all this and nurture the sense of<br>\nresponsibility among our youths. The point we would like to make<br>\nis: Don't let all this lead us to wipe out or lessen our good<br>\nsense to see the positive values that are embodied in the<br>\ninitiatives and the self-help capabilities which our young people<br>\nare showing.<\/p>\n<p>-- Kompas, Jakarta<\/p>",
