This is the president at a graduation ceremony at Yuhan University.
"Don't think you're too young to achieve something, and don't give up on your dreams because of high walls put up by the generations before you. Don't be afraid to get back up and try again when you fail."
Young people, he said, should not have to give up on finding a way forward.
He pledged to work to build a society in which anyone can realize their dreams... under fair competition and with equal opportunity.
Yuhan University is a vocational college established by Yoo Il-han, the late founder of Korea's leading pharmaceutical firm, Yuhan Corporation.
Yoo also funded the movement for Korea's independence under Japanese colonial rule.
This was President Moon's second time speaking at a university while in office, and he is only the second sitting president to give a commencement address.
