I'd like to try to inspire the youth, that's obviously where our future is and the kids are the ones you can mould and you can give them ideas and opportunities and I'd like to try to inspire all the young kids because I had a dream when I was young, that was to play for Australia.
Interpretation
Inspiring the youth is crucial for shaping the future.
Steve Waugh emphasizes the importance of encouraging young people, as they are the future leaders and change-makers. He shares his personal aspiration to inspire youth by drawing from his own experiences and dreams, highlighting the potential to shape young minds and offer them opportunities to pursue their ambitions.
In practice
During a school assembly to motivate students.
I suppose, because I am a sportsman and travel all over Australia, I see every day Australians doing small and large and often unnoticed deeds; many times I thought how nice it would be for them to be recognised, so I hope somehow that in receiving this honour that I represent these people.
Dreams are hopes, and echoes of hope.
Be aware of your own worth, use all of your power to achieve it. Create an ocean from a dewdrop. Do not beg for light from the moon, obtain it from the spark within you.
The urge to explore has propelled evolution since the first water creatures reconnoitered the land. Like all living systems, cultures cannot remain static; they evolve or decline. They explore or expire. . . . Beyond all rationales, space flight is a spiritual quest in the broadest sense, one promising a revitalization of humanity and a rebirth of hope no less profound than the great opening out of mind and spirit at the dawn of our modern age.
Look Toward the stars but keep your feet firmly on the ground.
Recognise excellence. Celebrate weirdness and innovation. Oddballs should be cherished, if they can do something other people can't do.
My idea is to give hope, because where there is no hope, there is no vision, and where there is no vision, people will perish.
