Friends!

Today I presented a lecture at the Institute of International Relations of Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University. The theme of the lecture was "Peculiarities of doing business in Israel," but I was able to reach a much broader layer of information and tell the students about the reasons, why they need to learn successfully and to show how sincere love to their country can lead it to success.

Most importantly, I wanted to convey to the students that impossible does not exist. People just don’t need to whine and say, that there is the war of the country, there is no opportunity for the personal development or development of the country. Because it is not true, and Israel is the main proof of that. A country that since its creation has been in the permanent war, was able to reach the heights. And most interestingly, in the same areas where the resounding success and could be reach in Ukraine: agriculture, defense, high technology. You just have to make the effort.

Students, like anyone, should understand this. Because they will change the country if they will realize that everything is in their hands. I have brought many interesting examples of how in any field they can start their own business. That they just need to improve their knowledge every day for, because the world need bright minds and latest technologies. In order to be able to develop their skills and reach the heights of the profession in Ukraine, they need to love it. Understand the value of service in the army, value every human life, renounce corruption even in the smallest of its forms, pay taxes. Honesty, integrity and fairness - the are main tenets of which should serve young Ukrainians.

Friends, I am sure that Ukraine is waiting for a bright future - this is the conclusion I made from my communication with students. We have to explain their role to the youth in every occasion. Then success just around the corner.
