    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to welcome these young people to the Senate. It is an honour that they chose to come to the Senate to learn about legislation and the leadership of this country. It is advisable that when young people come here, we give them words of encouragement. I would like to encourage them to adapt the principles of hard work and discipline. Discipline is one of the cardinal principals of success in the life of young people. If you are not disciplined and you do not obey your teachers and parents, you will get into bad habits that affect most young people in our schools. The young people are getting into drugs and bad habits, which spoil their future. All those things such as enjoyment and so on are ahead, and they shall enjoy as much as they want. This is not the time to enjoy. It is the time to work hard, obey teachers and parents and observe the principles of hard work. Your parents are working hard at a time when the economy of this country is going through a lot of hardship. They must know the burden being borne by their parents in paying school fees, is through a lot of sacrifice. It is not because in future they will help their parents, but because their parents expect them to be independent and support their own future lives. It is upon them to work hard. I welcome them and appreciate that they have chosen to come here and be with us, and see how their leaders speak and give some good leadership guidance to the country."
