We should value our youth because it is a time in our life when our potentials are at their peak. Therefore, we can utilize them maximally for our good and the betterment of the society. According to the text, Frank Epperson was just 11 years-old when he discovered the Epsicle, now Popsicle in 1905. He did not disregard it rather he thought of it as something that could bring him money.

That was why, "in 1923, Epperson decided to expand sales beyond his neighborhood." Till date, billions of Popsicle are still being sold and Frank Epperson is recognized as its inventor. In imitation of Epperson, youths should be very observant and maximize their potentials to benefit themselves.
