Do not be afraid of your parents' poverty. If you wish, you can drive away your family's poverty with your education. No one has achieved great things without trials. Do not develop an inferiority complex.
  • Believe firmly that you are not inferior to anyone. With perseverance and practice, all your goals will be successful. This youth is a period full of dreams and celebrations. But be very careful during this time. There are many dangers here that can distract you. Don't fall into any of them. Choose good friends. Never become addicted to drugs. Make your parents' dreams a reality. Respect your teachers. Set goals in life and embark on your journey. Light will surely dawn in your life."
