Pillay heard their stories and shared his own, to guide them on their path to success and taking the country forward. His message to the youth is to invest in their futures by taking responsibility for themselves, to protect their personal brand credibility, to stay committed to their education, to ask for help along the way and to be steadfast in pursuing their ambitious goals and dreams.
