Dear Students,
“If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down”
As we move ahead in our life with each passing year, we embark on a new journey with new propositions to achieve our goals and give shape to our dreams. Little steps that we take from the lessons learnt, out of mistakes made in the bygone days, and the motivation earned from the memories of achievements, help us to better ourselves each day.
Success is a journey not a destination, it is an ongoing process of self-development, transformation, and exploration of opportunities, to face challenges that comes on your way in achieving your goal. In this process you discover the light that exist in you in the name of potential and you learn to believe in your strength and realize your weaknesses as well.
Setting goals in one’s life is very important as it gives direction to our efforts and motivates us to draw the action plan to move forward and achieve the desired results.
As you usher into a new academic year, each one of you should set a target for yourself to strive for. Setting a target or goal will make you stay focused, help you prioritize your tasks, teach you time management and make you rely more on your wisdom to promote understanding, decision making and unbiased moral judgement.
One of the most important task for you is, to identify the distractions and effectively handle the same, to stay focused on your goal. Most importantly you should understand that your reaction to distractions or adversity is the biggest impediment that holds you back from moving ahead in your journey towards progress but not the adversity itself. Respect your individuality and experiment with different strategies to understand what suits you the best to stay away from distractions. Limit your access to gadgets, devices or social media if needed, as you are the best teacher for your own mind. Success is not measured only by what you accomplish but also by the courage with which you overcome adversity..
As I conclude I convey my best wishes to each one of you for a successful year ahead.”
