The task at hand on will not be easy. But you have mandated us to change South Africa from a country in which the majority lived with little hope, to one in which they can live and work with dignity, with a sense of self-esteem and confidence in the future. The cornerstone of building a better life of opportunity, freedom and prosperity is the Reconstruction and Development Programme.

I believe that, young or old, we have as much to look forward to with confidence and hope as we have to look back on with pride.

I have always been very confident and very upbeat about the future of India.

A man of truth must ever be confident, if he has also equal need to be diffident.

I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.

I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.
