There is no country where everyone speaks the same language, belongs to the same race and shares the same culture, belief and tradition. In the modern world, many countries embrace a mosaic of people. Therefore it is necessary for us to learn the beautiful art of living together as one big happy family. Only by lifting the weights from the shoulders of all, can people truely prosper and can peace among all nations be secure. It is aiso required that traditional sentiments and tendencies of regionalism and communalism are discouraged so that the dream for unity is realised.
History is made by men and women of vision and courage.
I would like to address the younger generation because we hold the destiny of our nations and of the world in our hands. With all the temptations we young people face, it sometimes seems the allure of the permissive society requires super human feats of self control. But the call of the furure is too strong, the challenge too great, to get lost in the blind alleyways of dissolution, drugs, despair and war. Let us speak of our deepest longing for peace and the future - to leave our children a land that is free and just, and at peace and build up a more stable relationship between nations. Surely no people on earth hate war or love peace than we children.
