The day I choose to tell the truth will be the day some people claim I am against them. Yet, truth must be spoken, for power in the hands of a foolish person is dangerous and often destructive.
What is the value of owning a brand-new car if the roads are riddled with potholes? What joy is there in building a mansion if it stands in the midst of a sprawling slum? These questions remind us that personal blessings, while valuable, cannot replace the need for social transformation. True progress is not about individual success but collective growth and development.
Why strive to be the only shining light in the midst of darkness? True greatness lies in creating an environment where everyone can shine. Nations thrive when success is widespread, when there are millions of success stories, not just one. I don’t want to be the lone success story; I want success to become so common that it no longer draws envy or attention. When success is normalized, jealousy fades, and society grows in harmony.
To the youth: wake up and take charge. The future is not built by spectators but by those who actively engage, demand change, and work tirelessly for a better tomorrow. Let us all strive not only for personal success but for the transformation of our communities. Only then can we create a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Well said.
