10 point Oath for the Students and Youth by Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam

I realize that small aim is a crime. I will have a great goal in my life and work hard to achieve that goal. I will acquire the knowledge continuously. I will Sweat, Sweat, Sweat. I will persevere to achieve the goal.
I will work with integrity and succeed with integrity.
I will be a good member of my family, a good member of the society, a good member of my state, good member of the nation and a good member of the world.
I will always try to save or better someone's life, without any discrimination of caste, creed, language religion or state. Wherever I am, a thought will always come to my mind. That is "What can I do for you"
I will never get addicted to liquor, smoking and gambling. I will always try to retrieve at least 5 people from addiction and help them to lead a quality of life.
I will always remember the importance of time. My motto will be "Let not my winged days, be spent in vain".
I will plant at least 5 trees in my neighborhood and grow. I will always work for making my village clean, city clean and state clean so that my earth will be clean and green.
As a youth of my nation, I will work and work with courage to achieve success in all my tasks and enjoy the success of others.
I am as young as my faith and as old as my doubt. Hence, I will light up then, the lamp of faith in my heart.
My National Flag flies in my heart and I will bring glory to my nation.
