Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang Pilipino ay ang salitang NABANSOT.
Kapang ang isang bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki ngunit ito'y tumigil na sa paglaki, ang
bagay na ito raw ay NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ng pagkabansot ngunit ay
pinakamalungkot na uri raw ay ang pagkabansot ng isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.
Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng paglaki, ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang
paglaki, at pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan, hindi lamang ng ating sukat at timbang.
Kung ga-poste man ang ating taas at ga-pison man ang ating bigat ngunit kung ang pag-
iisip naman nati'y ga-kulisap lamang kay pangit na kabansutan. Kung tumangkad man
tayong tangkad-kawayan at bumilog man tayong bilog-tapayan, ngunit kung tayo nama'y
tulad nibondyingay di mapagkatiwalaan-anong laking kakulangan. Kung magkakatawan
tayong katawangTarzanat mapatalas ang ating isipang sintalas ng kay Rizal, ngunit kung
ang ating kalooban nama'y itim na duwende ng kasamaan-anong kapinsalaan para sa
kinabukasan.
Kinabukasan, kabataan, tayo raw ang pag-asa ng Inang Bayan. Tayo raw ang
maghahatid sa kanya sa langit ng kasaganaan at karangalan o hihils sa kanya sa putik ng
kahirapan at kahihiyan. Ang panahon ng pagkilos ay ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi sa isang
taon. Araw-araw ay tumutuwid tayong palangit or bumabaluktod tayong paputik.
Tamang-tama ang sabi ng ating mga ninunong kung ano raw ang kinamihasnan ay
siyang pagkakatandaan. Huwag nating akalaing makapagpapabaya tayo ng ating pag-
aaral ngayon at sa araw ng bukas ay bigla tayong magiging mga dalubhasang
magpapaunlad sa bayan. Huwag nating akalaing makapaglulublob tayo ngayon sa
kalaswaaan at kahalayan at sa mahiwagang araw ng bukas sigla tayong magiging ulirang
mga magulang.
Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay na nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng
pangarap wala rin sa pagpag ng dila. Ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nasa pawis ng gawa.
Ang anak man ay alagaan sa marubdob na pagsuyo sikapin ma sa sarili'y huwag siyang
maging luko talipandas sa paglaki na sa sama marahuyo sa lahi mo't sa Bayan may isang
tinik sa balaho.

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our
course. Since this country as founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to
give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans into answered the call to
service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though, arms we need, not as a
call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle,
year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a, struggle against the common
enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and
West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending
freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it I
do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other
generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our
country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for
your country.
My Fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can
do for the freedom of man.

Pagsanghan.
Isa sa mga salitang napag-aralan natin sa wikang Pilipino ay ang salitang NABANSOT.
Kapang ang isang bagay daw ay dapat pang lumaki ngunit ito'y tumigil na sa paglaki, ang bagay
na ito raw ay NABANSOT. Marami raw uri ng pagkabansot ngunit ay pinakamalungkot na uri raw
ay ang pagkabansot ng isipan, ng puso at ng diwa.
Ang panahon ng kabataan ay panahon ng paglaki, ngunit ang ating paglaki ay kailangang
paglaki, at pag-unlad ng ating buong katauhan, hindi lamang ng ating sukat at timbang. Kung
ga-poste man ang ating taas at ga-pison man ang ating bigat ngunit kung ang pag-iisip naman
nati'y ga-kulisap lamang kay pangit na kabansutan. Kung tumangkad man tayong tangkad-
kawayan at bumilog man tayong bilog-tapayan, ngunit kung tayo nama'y tulad nibondyingay di
mapagkatiwalaan-anong laking kakulangan. Kung magkakatawan tayong katawangTarzanat
mapatalas ang ating isipang sintalas ng kay Rizal, ngunit kung ang ating kalooban nama'y itim
na duwende ng kasamaan-anong kapinsalaan para sa kinabukasan.
Kinabukasan, kabataan, tayo raw ang pag-asa ng Inang Bayan. Tayo raw ang maghahatid sa
kanya sa langit ng kasaganaan at karangalan o hihils sa kanya sa putik ng kahirapan at
kahihiyan. Ang panahon ng pagkilos ay ngayon, hindi bukas, hindi sa isang taon. Araw-araw ay
tumutuwid tayong palangit or bumabaluktod tayong paputik. Tamang-tama ang sabi ng ating
mga ninunong kung ano raw ang kinamihasnan ay siyang pagkakatandaan. Huwag nating
akalaing makapagpapabaya tayo ng ating pag-aaral ngayon at sa araw ng bukas ay bigla tayong
magiging mga dalubhasang magpapaunlad sa bayan. Huwag nating akalaing makapaglulublob
tayo ngayon sa kalaswaaan at kahalayan at sa mahiwagang araw ng bukas sigla tayong
magiging ulirang mga magulang.
Kabataan, tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan, ang tunay na nasyonalismo, ay wala sa tamis ng
pangarap wala rin sa pagpag ng dila. Ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nasa pawis ng gawa.

In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our
course. Since this country as founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to
give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans into answered the call to
service surround the globe.
Now the trumpet summons us again-not as a call to bear arms, though, arms we need, not as a
call to battle, though embattled we are; but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle,
year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, a, struggle against the common
enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.
Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and
West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join me in this historic effort?
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending
freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility; I welcome it I
do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other
generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our
country and all who serve it, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for
your country.
My Fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can
do for the freedom of man.
One of the purposes of the speech is to motivate listeners to
