Face the challenge
Adnan Bin Ahmed Mohammadpur, Dhaka
"Why is Bangladesh looked down by other nations as a weak and poor country?"This question has been buzzing in my mind for a long time. Is it because of the physical structure of our motherland that makes us inferior to others or is it because our nation is infected by corruption, poverty and violence? The question mark fluttered for days and months around my head until I asked a question to myself and came to a conclusion. "What makes a country?" Is it the trees, the roads, the buildings and the birds? No, it's the citizens and so they should be held responsible for making our country what it is now. It's the lack of unity, determination and the will power of the citizens, and the most important thing that we lack is nationalism. This nationalism is the key to our economic and cultural growth. We can't always keep blaming the government, but we have to keep in mind the fact that a country is never perfect, it's always in progress. We can't leave it, as it is we have to think big. Each one of us is responsible for making it a prosperous country. Every small thing we do has an impact on the country. People may think I'm a dreamer but there are millions who dream and all these can only come true if we stand together to face the challenges.
