“It is quite funny, but also sad”, said Tony. “That the Curaçao people lack self-confidence. They just can’t seem to understand that we as inhabitants of such a small island are capable of doing things that are of global interest and importance.” Rhuggenaath nodded. “I sure hope that your perseverance and belief in yourself will be an example for all of us, here in Curaçao. We can do great things together, if we put our minds to it, believe in ourselves, work hard and never give up. I thank you on behalf of all ‘Yu di Kòrsou’ for making this clear. I would say: spread the word.”
The Prime Minister was also impressed by the invention of Tony, the OWAC System. “I can imagine that your invention, your product will be of great importance not only for Curaçao, but for our entire region and beyond. I congratulate you with your great work, the prestigious award you gained with it and wish you lot of luck for the near future.”
