Young people are encouraged to thoroughly study and gain a sound understanding of their country’s natural environment, geography, cultural traditions and customs, history, and current situation. They should strive to take the right course of action, contribute to the nation’s interests, respect one another, and cultivate a mindset that views and appreciates diversity as a source of national strength. As they will be the future leaders of the country, they should carefully consider and reflect on everything they say and do, promote initiatives and actions that serve the national interest, and avoid those that could cause harm to the country.
It is essential for young people to have broad knowledge and understanding. Without adequate knowledge, one may lack the ability to make sound decisions, and misguided ideas can cause harm not only to oneself but also to relevant communities. Therefore, everyone needs to cultivate the habit of reading extensively to broaden their knowledge and wisdom, develop good moral character, and to study and read various forms of informative and literary works.
Young people are encouraged to stay abreast of developments around the world and engage more actively in science- and technology-based entrepreneurship. They need to use social media and the Internet properly and effectively to access and explore modern knowledge and skills, and avoid improper or unproductive uses and mistakes.
It is important for everyone to work for the development of the nation and to engage in suitable occupations according to their age, skills and abilities, performing their duties through right livelihood and maintaining a proper balance between self-interest and the interests of others. Everyone should make effective use of their time and avoid wasting it, as those who remain idle and lazy will fall behind in every respect. They are encouraged to compete with themselves and strive for self-improvement, set high goals and make continuous efforts to achieve them.
