Now my baby has grown into an 3 —tall, strong, stout, and smart, a(n) 4 of Akira Kurosawa samurai movies.

The world is always going to be full of 17 about how to solve the challenges we face. I hope，too，that my son's generation learns to 18 justice—but to do so with big heart and humility，recognizing our common humanity(人性) even with people who 19 us.
The world of 2030 won't 20 itself. We are creating it now, so my final wish is that we build the kind of world we actually want our children to live in.
