    Your pride for your nation should not come after your nation becomes great; your nation becomes great because of your pride in it. And again, Achievements are not earned through proficiency alone. They are in fact rewards of our efficiency.Proficiency is gathered knowledge, while efficiency is the ability to translate the knowledge into action.What we need now is a nation of great people who live to positively impact others and build enduring legacies so that we can stand strong for years.
