As long as we work hard with firm confidence, we will get off to a good start on our new journey.The greatest truths are the simplest, and hard work is the key.The new journey is a long one full of glories and dreams where there is no shortcut, but hard work.We should come down to earth, work hard, and not fall into fantasies or distractions.

We created a glorious past with hard work, and we will create a better future in the same way.Today, we are gathered here to bid farewell to the old year and usher in a new year.
