I am part of a
society that will
change this
world. I am
proud and
believe I can
achieve great
things.
I deserve to be
successful and I
can contribute
to productivity.
Hard work will
pay off.
I want to help
change the
world because
it’s the right
thing to do, but
I must also be on
top
Depend on
yourself and the
work you can
do. Nobody is
going to lift you,
but you.
Living life to the
fullest is the only
way to live. Hard
work is not
everything.
Together we
can create a
better future.
