Such a usual scene, the young people sitting around a table and talking about everything and nothing.I would have never thought that such a situation can be the beginning of something that changes my life, but it was. We talked about wanting to listen to a truly international youth radio in Esperanto and why such a radio did not exist. Why had nobody set it up already? I started to think about everybody who could have, but had not set up such a radio. When suddenly I heard, âpossibly this radio did not exist, because everybody is like us, waits for others to take an initiative, to start it.âI was shocked. I realized that I was also complaining about others but did not think I am also responsible for the situation and I could also do something. There, on the spot, I decided that I will participate in setting up the radio. Â Three months later the radio started to broadcast. I deeply enjoyed setting up the radio, working with more than (a) hundred people, organizing ideas, doing all the supporting work, like encouraging people speaking on the radio but, I, myself did not want to speak on the radio. I feared the responsibility, the responsibility of influencing peopleâs lives. I feared being criticized. I feared being misunderstood.And then, I started to think: Do I want to be someone who has big ideas but prefers to stay safe and do nothing who just complains about the world or do I prefer to try my best and even if I fail or make mistakes I can comfort myself by thinking, âat least I stood up, I tried.âThe next day I bought my first microphone. And since then it does not only show to me but also to many young people all around the world that we have our possibilities and responsibilities. With some words you can initiate changes in the life of your listeners and in your own life. Äio dependas de vi. It all depends on you.Â
