We are human beings, and this is the part of our human nature, that we don't learn the importance of anything until it's snatched from our hands.

In some parts of the world, students are going to school every day. It's their normal life. But in other part of the world, we are starving for education... it's like a precious gift. It's like a diamond.

We realize the importance of light when we see darkness. We realize the importance of our voice when we are silenced. In the same way when we were in Swat, we realized the importance of pens and books when we saw the guns.

Some people only ask others to do something. I believe that, why should I wait for someone else? Why don't I take a step and move forward.

I dreamt of a country where education would prevail.

Malala Day is not my day. It is the day of every girl and every boy. It is a day when we come together to raise our voices, so that those without a voice can be heard.

Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.
