“Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.” —Samuel Smiles (The words of the quotation appear and disappear, a semi-circle and rays illustrate a sunset observed by a man.)
Hope can be a driving force. (The sound effect of a gust of wind accompanies the letters of the last two words that fly away.)
It can push us to break down the barriers that would keep us from realizing our dreams. (The word push pushes the word us to the right of the screen. Sound effects of words exploding as well as the circle around them. Clouds appear at the end of the sentence.)
A small amount of hope leads us to heal the Earth, mend relationships, change our destiny and contribute to the common good. (A drop of water falls on our planet.)
Hope can spur us on to reach our professional and personal goals. (The tip of an arrow flickers and an arrow appears as it is heard splitting the air and hitting a target.)
Everything has its “sunny side” and its “shadow side”. If we’re not careful, our human recklessness and search for perfection can lead to a loss of hope. (One hand aligns the last letter of the word perfection.)
However, the obstacles that come with this loss force us to innovate, improvise and adapt to our changing environment. (A paper plane flies from one shot to another and overlooks the panorama of a city centre.)
We’re all part of the human race, striving to better ourselves and our communities, learning as we go.
The future is ours to shape. What contribution will you make to the world? What part will hope play in your path forward? (The silhouette of our planet is emerging and a sun with rotating rays is displayed to conclude the video.)
