MINSK, 27 December (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko compared life with a sailor's striped shirt and gave advice to children as he attended a charity event for children within the framework of the Our Children campaign in Minsk on 27 December, BelTA learned.
“Life, this applies to children and adults, is always like a sailor's striped shirt. Lighter stripes rotate with darker ones. It means that if someone has certain struggles today, remember: a darker stripe always gives way to a lighter one in life,” the head of state said.
He noted that among the participants of the event there are people, both children and adults, with very different fates. Some of them have it easier, some study well because they have more opportunities. Some do very well in school, having fewer opportunities, but compensating it with a great desire to gain knowledge.
“We will do everything to ensure that those children who lack some things are no different from those children who have everything,” the president assured.
He advised the children to study hard, because they will need knowledge in their future life.
“You can't do without it. You see how complicated life has become. But you are small, young, still quite young. You have everything ahead of you; you have an open mind, not loaded with anything. Act, upload it with the knowledge that they try to teach you at school and university. You will need it very much in your future life. In order to make the right choice in the future life, you need to study today,” the Belarusian leader shared a piece of advice with children.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said that when on his way to the event he thought that it was the most difficult audience: “People here are very different. They are different in age, in their positions. They are members of the government, ministers, and ordinary schoolchildren who have just started schools. But all of us in this hall today have one thing in common as we all are anticipating our great beloved holiday - New Year”.
Speaking about adults, teachers and educators, Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that he knows from his own experience how difficult it is to work with children. But then it is very rewarding to see them achieve results that teachers and parents expect.
Attending the charity event are students of cadet schools and lyceums, winners of various Olympiads, creative contests and competitions, students who have excelled in public work, orphans, children from large families and refugee families. Also in attendance is a delegation from Latvia - pupils of the Riga Belarusian elementary school. They prepared a colorful performance called New Year Formula for the children.

The president addressed the warm words to teachers, without whom, among others, this holiday would not have happened. “It is they who, having given up their home chores and worries, helped you, helped me to get you here. They helped you to come to the Palace of the Republic, where we traditionally hold this bright holiday,” the president said addressing the children.
