He praises work done for its own sake rather than for publicity, says nothing in the world is greater than knowledge, welcomes the number of young women taking part, and urges everyone not to fear new technology, telling how people once doubted electricity, trains and the first boat that moved under its own power.

## Key points

- Good work done from the heart, not for advertisement or election, deserves praise; the organisers had also collected 6,500 units of blood at their camps.
- There is nothing in the world greater than knowledge: it connects you to people and opens up problems.
- Society never lacks people willing to give; start the good work and the support will come.
- In his own college, women students outnumbered men by one and a half times.
- Every new technology, from electricity and trains to the pressure cooker and the mobile phone, was feared at first. Understand it and use it well.
- A small step can be a great one, as Neil Armstrong said on the Moon.
