MajulahOnward. A word that enscapulates the thrust of progress of every nation. The raison d’atre of the struggles, hard work and sacrifices each citizen of the world makes. To make a better tomorrow. To be better tomorrow than we were today. To ensure the future is a place we all look forward to with hopes, dreams and desires intertwined on the crossroads of human triumph.

Yet in an increasingly inter-connected world, the future lies uncertain. Temperatures are soaring to new highs, the horizons of scarcity ever reaching upon us, the gaps in sustainability ever morphing into a manhole. The celebration of diversity distorted into petty conflicts with insurmountable consequences. Perhaps it is time to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It is time to start now because if we dont, one year forward we would look back to this day and say to ourselves we should have started today. You dont have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great. Because the hopes, dreams and aspirations of a better world can only come true if we start to look around and tell ourselves, this is not how our story is going to end. A drastic change is needed in this first half of the 21st Century to set the stage for extraordinary progress in the rest of the century.

It is time we, the youths of the world, the leaders of tomorrow take massive action. To take back our problems and own it. To do what we can with what we have using the time we are given. Because in the end, it is our choices today that makes us who we are. Today we can choose to be the generation that decided to stand up for something bigger than ourselves. To speak the truth even if our voice shakes. To speak for those who are voiceless. To stand up and be counted. To not only be the change, but LEAD THE CHANGE we want to see in the world. The world is our stage and its people will be listening.

We may not have it all together, but together we have it all. And with you and me in this together.ONWARD, our FOOTSTEPS OF CHANGE shall march.

ONWARD, OUR FOOTSTEPS OF CHANGE MARCH.
