Therefore, they want and able to do a big change or “Quantum Jump” in the historical change of human being not only “the group of usual youth”.

“A thing which becomes a tragedy in this world, they whom are clever in creating a few of his experiences and who are weak in creating his experiences, The crazy boys act on creation without knowledge; the arrogant Man act on experience without a creation. The duty of university is combining both of them, between creation and experience”.
A small part of creative man, who wants to change this period to build up a new civilization by the newly structure? They are just an educated youth or who are near with the young generations.
