Like every year, we have gathered here once again to celebrate the annual function of our college and today being the last day of the celebration we will have lots of fun including eating, dancing, merry-making, etc. This day is all the more important for us as this is the last year for the final year students.
I have been given the opportunity to host the programme this year and I am pretty enthusiastic to address everyone as this may be my last interaction with many of you. Well, emotions apart, I would like to utilise this platform to share some secrets of success with you all. So far success for you must be to successfully complete the assignments on time, attend the lectures, never miss classes, maintain required attendance, give semester exams and of course to fair well in the exams. But life in reality is a bigger sea; in fact it’s an ocean, which you will have to swim across. Sometimes life may hit you as hard as a brick does; but don’t lose hope. Always believe that those who don’t give up can only meet the success ultimately. But if I ask you to define success, many of you must say ‘its name, fame, recognition, big house, car, fat bank balance, etc.’ But I would say, the interpretation of success may change from person to person. The ultimate success is happiness and satisfaction. It’s important that you pursue your passion and love. Don’t follow other’s dream; instead follow your goals and dreams. For you are not someone else; you have your identity and capacity and work accordingly in order to achieve the real success.
I can understand that many of you must not even have decided about your career goals. Some of you might go for further studies, some may join the corporate world and some of you may join your family business. Each option would come with its own prospects and challenges. You must only concentrate on your activities and must not imagine the consequences. Don’t get disheartened, if you fail initially, instead keep trying. Remember that your mistakes give you valuable lessons in the end and also help you choose the right path. We have heard about several stories in our childhood such as the ‘story of ant, who tries to climb the mountain’ or ‘slow and steady wins the race’ and many more. The moral of all these stories is common that you should keep trying until you succeed and no matter you are slow but if you are steady, you are certainly going to win.
I won’t say that life is a race and you should beat others to win. Instead, you must try to remain grounded even when you succeed. You guys are the future of our nation; you must also try to fulfil your social responsibilities so that the next generation can follow your footsteps. Today, we need people who are successful yet considerate. You have the ability to introduce changes and bring revolution in every field. So stay focused and follow your journey towards success.
