## Transcript

I'm really humbled to be in the company of these 99 people in this list. I thought I would talking about my mother but my oedipus is rampant and I steal my eyes if I want to make any other movie. so, tonight I want to toast those who are the sole reason to engage in any endeavor. The ones that are ultimately and fundamentally the reason for our own existence. I'm talking about the next generations. The next generations connects us with the purity of our own ideas. Those ideas that we forge when, when we are in early teen years. And at the time that we reach our adulthood we dismiss as naive idealism.

Eh, every single inspiration, real inspiration I had in life has been the one that had not betrayed purity, and the innocence of the 15 years old that I once was. The ones that that believed that justice, love, peace, equality was possible, and who dared to believe that the impossible can happen. The one that [ LAUGH ] very probably would have thought that me and many of the 99 in these list were highly uncool, and that believe that the, and believe that it is possible to deliver to the next generation a better world than the one that, that was given to us. So to the next generations.
