"Sculptors of Time: A Call to the Young Generation"

Time flows like a river, never waiting for anyone.  

In that flow, there are those who stand anxiously on the shore, fearing when the flood might rise.  

And there are those who move forward launching boats, catching fish, drawing water using the river to meet their needs.  

Our ability to harness time for progress depends entirely on our own talents.  

Just as the sun’s heat melts butter and hardens clay, time’s impact varies depending on our nature.  

Like butter and clay responding differently to the same sunlight, let us shape time to suit our strengths and move forward.  

And as we progress, let us extend a helping hand to those we can support,  

Finding joy in their growth as well.  

Life keeps flowing.  

Our lives are like hands reaching from the shore to touch the passing stream.  

The water that has touched our hands and moved on is the past.  

The water approaching to touch our hands is the future.  

If we keep yearning for the water that has passed, we may miss the chance to build something with the water that is yet to come.  

In life, we must pass through many who carry negative thoughts.  

Turning their negativity into positivity is the challenge we must face.  

Like the frogs in a large pot trying to escape, most slip and lose hope.  

But one frog keeps trying and succeeds.  

The others shout, “You can’t do it!”  

Yet the victorious frog turns their shouting into motivation.  

In that sense, didn’t the negative frogs actually encourage the successful one?  

If you always stay positive, negative thoughts cannot affect you.  

This is the lesson we learn from the frogs.  

Believe this one truth,

If you sow positive thoughts in your heart, you will reap positive outcomes.  

In the end, you can win any competition.  

You can do it.  

My dear young generation!  

Life is meant to be lived.  

Observe time and carve it to suit your growth.  

By becoming such sculptors, you can become the backbone of the society you live in.  

Through that transformation,  

You can build a peaceful, just, and understanding society.  

I believe in your ability to do it.  

With love,  

Sakthi Sakthithasan
