Rodong Sinmun stresses that it is the unanimous will of the Korean people sharing the same intention with the WPK to work hard in high spirits with firm confidence in victory of great surge and thus open the gate to a great prosperous and powerful nation without fail.

The legendary long journey of patriotic devotion traveled by General Secretary Kim Jong Il, who is making tireless efforts to bring earlier the rosy morrow when a thriving nation is built, gives confidence in sure victory, optimism and inexhaustible strength and courage to the army and people and serves as a driving force considerably increasing the speed of our advance, it says, and goes on:

The revolutionary optimism is the working spirit peculiar to the people who pave the way for the brilliant future while overcoming trials.

Today the army and people of the DPRK are dashing towards the eminence of a thriving nation with high ambition, loudly singing the songs of revolution and struggle.

Epoch-making events take place one after another in the DPRK today when the storm of a great revolutionary surge, unprecedented in the history of the prospering country, is raging. All sectors of socialist construction are rushing ahead on the orbit of constant upturn. This stirring reality further enhances our people's mental power for national self-dependence and instills them with the steadfast confidence that they can fling open the gate to a thriving nation in the near future.

A thriving nation is sure to be built, and the day when the Korean people will lead a wealthy life with nothing to envy in the world is coming nearer.

Minju Joson stresses that all the people should steadily renew the speed and records of the 100-day campaign under the leadership of the WPK and thus strikingly demonstrate once again the revolutionary stamina of heroic Korea rushing forward like the wind on the Songun Chollima.
