[162] Words of Hak Ja Han Book 1 - Global Unity Through True Parents Part 5 : Educating the Second Generation and Training Future Leaders
Chapter 3 : Wonmo Pyeongae Scholarship Institute - 3
I know that those of you who are receiving scholarships today have dreams. What are your dreams? You, who are working closely with the True Parents, should take the lead in fulfilling Heavenly Parent's wish, Heavenly Parent's dream. Each of you will have your own dream. However, any dream centered on yourself will have a limit. Yet if you understand True Parents' teachings and Heavenly Parent's circumstances and expand your dreams accordingly, you will become historic figures. Let me tell you about a book I read when I was young. In the Netherlands the level of the sea is higher than the level of the land, so all the people are wary of the sea. One day, as a boy was coming back from an errand for his parents, he saw water seeping through the dike that had been built to hold back the sea water. He ran to the dike wall. There was no time to call anybody to help.
He tried to close the hole with mud and stones, but it was difficult to stop the water from coming through, so he stuck his fist in the hole to stop the water, and waited for someone to come. However, it was wintertime, so he was nearly frozen. When he did not come home, his parents went to look for him.
When they and the other villagers found him there, he was still plugging the hole in the dike despite the cold. Think about it. His dream was not for himself. He was a young boy who cared about protecting his country. So his story is recorded in the history of his country. Today, your dreams should resemble those of True Parents. In the beginning, God dreamed a great dream, after which He created all of the created world, including human beings.
However, as you know through the Divine Principle, Adam and Eve, the first human ancestors, fell. However, the natural world did not fall. Despite that, because of the greed of fallen people, up until today their recklessness and ignorance has been destroying nature. Serious climate problems are arising all over the world.
I hope each of you will pursue and develop your dream in your chosen field, and bring healing to the earth. For this you will need specialized knowledge and expertise. Then you must share what you have learned and teach those who have not completed their education. To do this you must lead by example and think about how you can save our polluted Earth. If you all join forces, follow True Parents' teachings and live up to them, your hopes and your dreams can be realized. In order to make that happen, each of you must become the best in your field. I will support you unreservedly to help you achieve that. (2016.02.14, CheongShim International Youth Center) |
