SECTION 3. THE LIFE OF A DESIRABLE YOUTH

1. THE WILL IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SUCCESS

Numerous people living in this world are longing to become successful and to have worldwide territory according to their own desires. Until now, people have fought to gain that. Even at this present moment, people are moving to gain those things. Even when we look at ourselves, we cannot deny being intoxicated by that kind of a position. When we look at this age, we can see that each individual is longing for success and victory, and we are longing for that to happen on a worldwide basis. (30-73)

If I ask you, "Do you want to become famous within your neighborhood or within your country?" by no means would you answer, "I want to become famous within my neighborhood." If I ask, "Do you want to become famous within your country or on a worldwide basis?" you would answer, "I want to become famous worldwide." (40-317)

Raise your hand if you really want to become successful. Did you join our church to become successful? We must exclude that kind of a person. You lose your purity. (145-11)

What are we to do? The problem of what the social life of believers should be arises. What I am telling you is that it is important to have a method of thinking to carry out the ultimate Will instead of placing importance on success.

The world from now on is depending on the young people. I'm sure all of you who joined the Unification Church think you know things very well, but when Rev. Moon asks, there are many things you don't know. Some people might say, "Why is it necessary for us to be exceptional like that?" But you are not.
