Describing the young people as the most powerful generation in human history, Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Thursday encouraged them to imagine and dream big and turn themselves as ‘three-zero persons’.
"I feel very comfortable when I visit any university campuses. I feel rejuvenated. You are the most powerful generation in human history. I feel this honestly. You are the supermen and superwomen," said Prof Yunus, who created microcredit, invented social business and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in alleviating poverty.
The Chief Adviser visited Qatar University in the morning and delivered an inspirational speech on the topic titled ‘A World of Three Zeros’.
He encouraged the students not to do anything that might contribute to wealth concentration but to dream and imagine creating a new world by getting out of a self-destructive approach.

"If you imagine, it will help. Don't ignore imagination," he added.
