I sincerely wish that you will have the experience of living within a new idea, planning it, organizing it, following it to completion and then having it be magnificently successful. I also hope that you will go through the same process and have something bomb out horribly just so that you can cherish the experience of dealing with failure.

I wish that you could achieve some great good for humankind, as special favor for someone, but have no one know about it except for you.

I wish that you could find values so worthwhile that you deem them worthy of investing your entire future life within them. I truly wish that your dreams will all come true – and more than that, I hope you become frustrated and challenged enough to begin to push back the very barriers of your own personal limitations and to contribute to the greater good of humankind.

I hope that you make a stupid, maybe even— unethical mistake—and get caught red handed and are big enough to say those magic words: “I was wrong”, “I am sorry”, “I will do better the next time.”

I hope you give so much of yourself that on some days you wonder if it’s worth all the effort. I wish for you a magnificent obsession that will give you reason for living and purpose and direction and power from within, to do that which must be done.

I wish for you the worst kind of critics for everything you do because that makes you fight to achieve beyond what you normally would accomplish; that makes you earn the power of commitment which is a sacred trust, a key to achievement.

I wish for you the total experience of LEADERSHIP within the cosmos of the Greatest Student Council which has ever existed.
