Youth and not complaining
You have within you more resources of energy than have ever been tapped, more talent than has ever been exploited, more strength than has ever been tested, more to give than you have ever given.

I think I probably philosophically disagree with the statement that we've destroyed Earth. But this is about the mirror; this is about thinking larger and creating images that will solve these things as byproducts.
