WE were mostly crying when we are urged to stand and sing national anthem by MC. It has been very long we didn't have a chance to sing in a mass. The 6,000 strong crowd were proudly sang our national anthem with background music. Soon after 9:30am, much anticipated Lady suddenly come out on stage and we were immediately gave her stand ovation while applauding without preparing in advance. It show how we respect her from our deepest bottom of the hearts. We were very much annoyed by the performance of MC who has been make serial mistakes on stage. The event went as per schedule. When the Lady speech, we all listen it respectfully and cheers by applaud very frequently. She speaks without seeing any notes which is very familiar to our military leaders. It suggests she is talking to us by heartfelt words, not by the written notes. Her speech proof how she is committed her life to our nation. She however never boasted how she has been scarified her life for the good of fellow citizen.
Unlike other attempts by president and government officials before, she never asked audience to return home for compulsory. She shared the situation in Burma people suffers to attendant. She told how Myanmar has been far behind from others by half a century military rule. She highlighted how education system has been destroyed by military regime. Then, she prompts us how to value our life while she acknowledged that every body has their own standard of life value. She urged those who had settled abroad and unable to return home to behave nicely in their immediate society that can help improve Myanmar's image. She urged young professionals to think of nation building by unity. She urged young people not to wait favorable situation to return home. Instead she urged young people to come back home and fight for a place we all want to see in country. Whatever she talked was very meaningful and wisdom. We never satisfied with her speech by given relatively short time.
As there is time constraint and tight schedule, she has to end her talking in about half and hour and followed by Q&A section. I am sure that we all had a very memorable time and think of ourselves again by her wisdom words. Most of us feel selfish by staying away from country to get greener pasture and irresponsible in the process of the nation. In return home from the meeting, we all have to think again with our near future regarding how to contribute our nation in transition. For sure, we all would be ready to die for her if it will pave the way to make her lead our country. We are very lucky to have such leader in Myanmar and we have to support all the way because chance will never come twice. I sincerely wish that we could able to find a solution to amend our existing constitution before 2015 and see her take a presidential seat. I am sure to see her president in 2015 increasingly become our common goal as an ordinary citizen.
