About the work
Confident steps of youth, armed with knowledge and will, filled with determination and life, on a road fraught with difficulties, confusion and fear.
Steps forward or jumps high to surpass all obstacles standing in the road to the future...
Holding the torch of knowledge and dreams and climbing the rough mountains, armed with what he owns of oil wealth, to reach the peak, and plant the torch to lighten the paths of others...
So will this oil wealth determine the future and fate of youth? Or will youth’s determination and ambition do that? Or Both?
