M y young friends,
But there is another future that each one of you can create for yourself. I call it a ‘created
future’. The great heroes and leaders of the world have created such futures. This is a future
that is not going to happen if you do not create it. It is not a default future.
I suggest that each one of you contemplate on the shape of the future you wish to see and
your place in it. It should, however, not be a mere wishful thinking but compatible with the
present state of things. And having decided on a ‘created future’, you may start planning
for its realization from now on.
I will be very happy to work on your ‘created future’ with you. You are free to contact me at
my email pkumar1511@[Link]
