Those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish–and in effect save their lives.

An educated man is not one who has trained is mind to retain a few dates in history. he is one who can accomplish things. Unless a man has learned to think, he is not an educated man, regardless of how many college degrees he has after his name.

Stay humble. Humility keeps you open to learning from any one else. No on EVER has all the answers and if they think they do they’re not a good leader. Over time they will most likely fail and certainly do significant damage along the way.

Be smart. You are all in school. Do not waste your time. This is a time of great opportunity that you will never have again as long as you live. Make the most of it right now. It is wonderfully challenging. It is hard, it is tough, isn’t it? But what a wonderful thing to go and learn of all the accumulated knowledge of all the centuries of time. Go on to college or whatever school, vocational school, whatever your choice is, but take advantage of every opportunity that you have because the Lord has laid upon you a mandate through revelation to the Prophet Joseph Smith concerning not only spiritual learning but secular learning. Yours is the responsibility, and you can’t afford to waste your time. There is so much to learn. Be smart. Give it the very best that you have.

Love is like the Polar Star. In a changing world, it is a constant. It is the very essence of the gospel.

Without love . . . there is little else to commend the gospel to us as a way of life.

Throughout the message, President Hinckley tells the new members how we (existing members of the Church) will help them. Here are some quotes that help illustrate how we are suppose to help new members:

• “We stand ready to assist you in any way we can”?
• “Unless there are strong hands to greet you, unless we reach out to you with love and concern”?…
• “We have the challenge of helping you to strengthen your testimony of the truth of this work”?
• “We rejoice with you in the gospel of Jesus Christ”?
• “We need you”?
• “We will put our arms around you and be friends with you. “
• “We will do our best to comfort you, to make you feel welcome and accepted”?
• “We love you, and we know the Lord loves you.”?
• “Come and work with us side by side as we grow and learn together”?

As a footnote: according to the Church’s Member and Statistical Records Division, first-generation members made up 64 percent of the total Church membership as of July 2006.
