Being a youth is one thing, and being a good one is another. A good youth should have these qualities: First of all, health. A healthy body is the best riches. Without it, nothing can be done well. If you are poor in health, you will have to take medicine day after day. You can even work, do sports and so on. Secondly, one must be of good quality. Always do something good for others. Help those in trouble and care about the people around you. If everyone did the same, what a wonderful world this would be! Thirdly, one must have the ability to work with others. Cooperation and communication are two important keys to better human relations. Everyone needs friends because no one can live through life alone or do everything he wants to.
