"We have traveled all over this
continent. We have met thousands and thousands of you. We know you well.
"Here's our predication about you and your generation: We see in you the
strength of Ernest Shackleton, the compassion of Mother Teresa and the
resilience of Lance Armstrong.
"We see
in you the dedication of Aung San Suu Kyi, the wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi
and the humility of Benito Juarez. We see in your the potential of young
George Washington and young Thomas Jefferson.
"We see eyes that have
wept the depths of misery and voices that have shouted to the rooftops
for joy. We see leaders ahead who have paid the price to lead.
"You are
going to do great! You will pay the price of education, the price of
service and the price of loyalty to family, spouse, children and
freedom.
"You will lead in paying the price of humility and the price of
conflict. Yes, we see the future being led by you.
"As
we've said so many times in the theme of this book: When God wants to
greatly improve the world, He sends a baby. Whether you know it yet or
not, He sent you!"
