Bringing possibilities of progress
And of realization!

O Truth, may thy reign come upon earth!
Let yesterday’s realization be a springboard
To leap forward for tomorrow’s achievement
Let us prepare ourselves for the new life!
A new light has appeared on Earth
The future is full of promise
Let the New Year be filled with love and joy!
