Dear young individuals!
These are only a limited number of the major headlines in the forty-year history of the Islamic Revolution: the splendid, enduring and brilliant revolution that you, by God’s Grace, should take the second big step towards advancing it. The fruit of the efforts made during the past forty years is before our eyes an independent country and nation, free, powerful, dignified, faithful, advanced in science, full of valuable experiences, confident and hopeful, with essential impact on the region and a strong logic on global issues; records in the growth rate of scientific advances, and in earning high ranks in important sciences and technology such as nuclear science, stem cells, nanoscience, aerospace and so forth; leading in expanding social services; excelling in promoting jihadi (volunteering) motivations among young people; leading in having an efficient young population and many other honor-winning features which are all the products of the Revolution and the result of taking the revolutionary and jihadi direction.
You should know that if ignorance of the Revolution’s mottos and negligence of the Revolutionary movement had not occurred in some periods during the forty-year history of the Revolution— which unfortunately existed and were extremely detrimental—the Revolution’s accomplishments would have gone far beyond what we witness today and the country would have been far ahead on the path towards the great ideals and many of the current problems would not have existed today.
Youth; The axis of realization of advanced Islamic system But the path taken is only a part of the honorable path towards the lofty ideals of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Following this path, which is not as difficult as in the past, should be followed with diligence and vigilance and the speed of action and initiative of your young people. Young managers, young agents, young intellectuals, young activists, in all political, economic, cultural and international fields, as well as in the fields of religion, ethics, spirituality, and justice, must shoulder the burden of responsibility, benefit from the experiences and lessons of the past. Take the revolutionary view and apply the revolutionary spirit and jihad action and make dear Iran a perfect model of the advanced Islamic system.
