Statements | Ban Ki-moon, Former Secretary-General
Since graduating from university almost four decades ago, I have dedicated my life to public service. It has been the most rewarding of career choices. Today, the world confronts even more complex challenges than my generation did when we started out. From good governance to climate change and the Millennium Development Goals, the world needs dedicated and talented individuals to make public service their life. I encourage young people everywhere to actively consider this choice. The life you choose today can help build better lives for millions of others tomorrow.
