There is a young guy, Jordan, whom I see every Thursday around 10pm, when he leaves McDonald's at Narellan Town Centre, weighed down with folders and books and a backpack.

He has to be one of the most polite people I have ever met.

You can hear him coming from a mile away with a "hello".

Tara, whom I work with, and I just look up and say: "Give us some good news, Jordan."

He always has something positive to say about life - chatting away about being voted prefect of his school or about the extra responsibilities he is taking on with his job.

Jordan is in year 11, has tonnes of assignments and works who-knows-how-many hours a week, yet is upbeat about everything he does.

This got me thinking: How often do we wish there was an extra hour in a day just to get this or that done or to catch more sleep?

How many times do we complain about work or being too tired?

Increasingly, I am meeting young people who work, play sports, go to school or uni and still manage to keep pretty balanced.

None complain about being too tired or not having any time.

When Tara and I get to Planet Health on a Thursday around 9pm, the girls on the night shift are just finishing up.

These women have been at school all day, come straight to work and get loaded with responsibilities that they complete to a high standard, with smiles on their faces.

When they leave they are not complaining about their aching legs and backs but rather joking around and making sure we have all we need to make our job easier.

Too young to be tired or too tired to bother complaining.

Jordan, and the girls at Planet Health, are just a few of these great young people we have living and working in our community.

Pretty inspiring, really.
