Traducao (Portugues)

Parabéns para a turma de 2020. Fazer o que é gostoso, conveniente, fácil, é assim que crianças pensam. Infelizmente, muitos adultos ainda pensam assim. Se o mundo vai melhorar, vai depender de vocês. Não tenham medo. Estejam prontos. Tenham esperança. Sejam determinados. E acima de tudo, encontrem aliados. Ninguém faz grandes coisas sozinho. Então construam um time. Encontrem pessoas que compartilham seus valores e objetivos.
