- Longkumer also emphasised that alongside possibilities, it
is crucial to acknowledge the real and difficult challenges youth face.
- He reminded that many of the youth are held back not by lack
of talent, but by lack of opportunity.
- However, he encouraged the gathering that where
opportunities are lacking, innovation must rise, and added, “Do not wait for
doors to open but build them.”
- The advisor went on
to state that Nagaland's rich diversity can be both a blessing and a challenge
for youth, who often find themselves caught between tradition and modernity,
struggling with identity and feeling unheard.
- Maintaining that Nagaland’s culture is not a weakness but
rather strength, he reminded the youth that the world doesn't need them to
become someone else but it needs them to become proud of who they already are.
