12 Your Potential as BYU students Who would be in a better position to contribute to the solution of these “Grand Challenge” problems (and others like them) than people: Who are among the best in their fields? Who are mature, flexible and culturally adept? Who act from a foundation of gospel principles? Who qualify for the Spirit? Do you think boldly enough about what you might do in service to humankind?

40 President Kimball Think of this year in Capstone also, as an opportunity to learn a great principle that President Spencer W. Kimball taught us about excellence at BYU: “We must do more than ask the lord for excellence. Perspiration must precede inspiration; there must be effort before there is excellence. We must do more than pray for these outcomes at BYU, though we must surely pray. We must take thought. We must make effort……dreams and prophetic utterances are not self-executing. They are fulfilled usually by righteous and devoted people making the[se] prophecies come true.” 40 President Spencer W. Kimball, “The Second Century” 1975
