This is a time when we can make a great leap forward. Satan knows that. Our enemies know that. In the most difficult times, Satan is taking the offensive. However, nobody should surrender at that point. You must know this for certain. Do you understand? As Rev. Moon has such an ideology, when he reads a book even the last section is revealed to him in advance. When I was a primary school student-Dr. Yoon will know what I mean-I finished off two Japanese text books from the fifth and sixth grade levels. Each book was 180 pages, and I memorized each one in one day. A person can be that awesome. What people can do in ten years I can do in one. You must make effort to have a mind that thinks like Father. I am saying you must prepare! I am talking about preparation that can be used as a weapon in the era of realization. It is exactly the same when you try to survive and not be defeated in army training or in actual combat. You need this kind of principle in your life. You must know this clearly. What kind of person will you become? I mean, to live as an artist, is it enough to be able to play only the piano well? Therefore you need to build a foundation that reaches everywhere. For that there needs to be people who excel in economics. Without favorable environmental conditions you will perish. For this reason our Unification Church has been building an environmental and economic foundation while being called names by others. I have been preparing this foundation in order to embrace our society and world. When the domestic side becomes weak, I strengthen the foreign side and when the foreign side becomes stronger, the domestic side also becomes stronger. Thus I've been using a strategy to make a balance between the domestic and foreign side. That is my strategy. Do you understand? You are preoccupied with your future. You are busily preparing yourself and thinking, "I need to become a person who can quickly inherit the path Rev. Moon is taking and I need to be able to expand the foundation of the new world." You need to be like that. I urge you to be like that. What comes first? (Preparation.) Next? (Foundation). None of you have any foundation, do you? When are you going to do it? If I asked you to be in charge of the university, how would you cope with it? If the university president makes a mistake, I regard it as my mistake. I look at it in that way. You need to have such a viewpoint. Therefore you have to prepare. If you look at the American president and see that he is doing things in a certain way, you need to have the attitude that you will do the things he cannot do. Therefore you need ability. You need to acquire ability. However, no matter how great your abilities are, it is no good if you don't make effort. Even though you make effort to some extent, if you don't make a foundation it will be in vain. What do you do with effort? If you don't leave a foundation in society or in the world it will be in vain. I am making effort to expand a foundation that is needed by Korea and the world. Therefore preparations have to be made, and because we need a foundation you have to have ability and the people with ability need to bring results. The result is the foundation. Do you understand? So what is ability then? You have to go through preparation and then possess ability. You understand, don't you? Firstly, preparation and foundation, and secondly, ability and result. No matter how much result you get, if you don't have ability, it is no good. Preparation and what is next? Foundation and then ability and result. Which one is valuable? Foundation and ability are precious. You have to know that. (133-230)
