There may be hundreds and thousands of and to be trained, but there will be only a small number of teachers to train them. These are the commanders and leaders. Taking this example, even though there are thousands of students in this country, you, as leaders, must get the training you require to train the many thousands of others in the country. This is the idea with which you must go through the summer course. This is the first summer course you are attending; and I hope and bless you that after you have gone through it, you will acquire the virtues of leadership. Those of you who are here have to acquire, by going through these classes, a certain amount of strength and character. With this strength, you will be able to lead your country. In this world most of you wish to do some noble and difficult work. All those who wish to participate in such work have to accept leadership and responsibility. Those students who today feel that it is good to accept such a responsibility are the ones who will do well in the future.
