Faced with stress, too many people feel they have nowhere to turn to, that they don't have access to the kind of friendships or communities where they can easily and openly share their problems and worries.

It is precisely when we have suffered defeat that we can determine to win and open the path to future victory.

No one should be left to suffer alone.

What our world most requires now is the kind of education that foster love for humankind, that develops character-that provides an intellectual basis for realization of peace and empowers learners to contribute to and improve society.

Whatever the outcome may be, the important thing is to step forward on the path that you believe is right.
