OPENING ADRESS

In a discussion, the focus is on the importance of investing with purpose, emphasizing the belief in the future and the potential of young people. The conversation highlights the need for leaders to consider their stakeholders and shareholders as human beings who will benefit from their actions or suffer from their ignorance. The call to action is to choose joy, empathy, and hope, and to invest in a way that future generations will appreciate. The discussion stresses that without intentional investment, the future may hold no joy, and the next generation may blame us for their challenges. The emphasis is on kindness, equity, and creating a future that inspires and surrounds us with joy and kindness rather than war and anxiety.
