Everyone, let's think of the existence of "I." Let's think about ourselves for a while. "I" was born on this earth, but where did this existence "I" come from? There must be many reasons for it. Let's sit down and think for a while. Where did this existence "I" come from? How have I, now in my 20s or youth, lived from the past until now? I went to kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, high school and university, but where am I headed from here? When I look from this point right at this moment, there is a course which tells from where and to where we are to go. This course is a course we have to go by any means. (156-256) What is the general goal of people of today? University graduates will try to get a position in a company or a bank that gives a good salary. That is their final goal. After forming that foundation, they then think they just have to meet a beautiful woman and have children. What can you become if you live like that? They don't have any concern for humankind or for any of those kinds of things. (25-263) What will you do, after graduating from university? Will you become a salaried man, receiving so-and-so much money? That's a very trivial thing that doesn't even amount to blowing your nose. Do you want to become the slave of money? Raise your hand if you want to become a salary man? Those who don't want to become a salary man, raise your hands. What is this? If you say no to this and no to that, then what are you going to do? If you are not going to become a salary man, what are you going to do? If you don't want to become a salary man, shouldn't you become a boss? You must become the boss. (25-167) When I look closely at the youth of today they say, "Job, job, such and such dollars, salary, jobs. A job is more important than anything else." I can't even relate to them. You cannot be included if you say you cannot go the way of the will because of a job opportunity. How can you be included? Well, everyone, think for a while. Do you think you can be included or not? (No.) Do you feel good or bad? There is no use even if you feel bad. You might say, "Oh, this feels bad," but you must feel bad. (62-205) You are all young people. Now almost all the young people, especially the university students are thinking, centering on themselves, how to succeed in their own country and how to realize a happy life. However, the young people in the Unification Church must not be like that. More than your own happiness, you must think for the sake of the people and the world based on the moral ethic of a higher dimension. You must have a broader view of happiness from that higher dimension, and you must also be able to practice it. I'm sure you know from the Principle that you must have the consciousness to carry out a central mission. (25-79)
