College Students Love A Good Cause

College Students Love A Good Cause

I spend a lot of time around college students. Nothing seems to motivate them more than a worthwhile cause. I think it's because they discover a way to make a difference in the world and have a lot of energy to put into it. Just look at the rallies, protests, and petition drives in your area and you'll discover a lot of college students who have found a way to get involved.

Are you a college student without a cause?

Don't be apathetic. You can join in and make a difference as well. Take a look around you and consider these four things:

1. Focus on people.

The best causes are the ones that help another person out. That person or group of people may be the victims of injustice, oppression, or abuse. If you want a worthwhile cause, start with those who need the help of others to even survive.

2. Find a need.

It would be foolish to start fighting for less bristles on toothbrushes. First of all...no one sees that as a glaring need in our society. But there are real needs out there. Basic needs that aren't being met. How about clean drinking water, clean air, or just cleaning your room.

3. Figure out your resources.

One thing that college students seem to have more of is time. Perhaps you have a larger discretionary income. Or you might know a lot of people with large discretionary incomes. As you work to right the wrongs through your cause, consider what types of resources you can use in your efforts.

4. Follow your heart.

Standing up for a cause as a way to meet people of the opposite sex is scarcely enough motivation to keep you in it for very long. You need to find something that really interests you - something that you really care about. Most of the time, it will cost you something to fight for a cause. It's only your passion and dedication that will keep you in when things get difficult.

Remember, the best causes are the ones that you fight for someone else's benefit. If your greatest cause is to build your own financial empire...you might not get many people on board to join you. Hope that doesn't discourage all of you multi-level marketing students out there.
