The youth are like my own sons and daughters: Imam Khamenei

My dear ones, you should prepare yourselves for the future. You should prepare yourselves for managing this country. The cure for the problems of the country lies in the bubbling of willpower and resistance from inside the people.

Our dearest ones are you youth. You are like my own sons and daughters. You are our children. You are our youth. You are our hopes. Our future is in your hands. The future of this country is in your hands. When we go, it is you who will stay. It is you who should manage this country. I would like to say a few things to you. My dear ones, you should prepare yourselves for the future. You should prepare yourselves for managing this country. The cure for the problems of the country – whether the problems that we have today, the problems that we will have later on or the problems that every country and nation has- after all, no country is without any problem- and the solution for them lies in the bubbling of willpower and resistance from inside the people.

Willpower, resistance, firm determination and steadfastness should bubble from inside the people. Eyes should be open, spirits should rely on God and our self-confidence should be strong. If we rely on God and if we trust ourselves, our spirits will become strong in scientific, managerial and administrative areas.

What I would like to emphasize is revolutionary spirit. You should preserve this spirit. What does “revolutionary spirit” mean? It means the capability of revolutionary people to have courage, to take action, to be initiative, to show innovation, to break dead ends, to untie knots, to be fearless, to be hopeful about the future and to move towards a bright future by relying on God. Revolutionary outlook means this. Such people are revolutionary and this spirit should be preserved.
