``Young persons in the country as a whole must imbibe the culture of self-confidence, take positive action and search for knowledge in order to improve their productive values.
``They should also engage themselves in useful ventures such as reading and sporting activities,’’ he said.
The Youth leader said that the youth must believe in themselves in order to unleash their potential.
``That is the only way they could prevent themselves from being used by agents of vices in the society.
``The aggregate of these positive steps would lead to national rebirth and consciousness,’’ he said.
