The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) recently organised ICSI convocation 2015 — Northern Region in the Capital. CS Atul H Mehta, president, council of the ICSI, congratulated the new members and said: “We are entering a world that increasingly rewards individual aspiration and persistence and can measure precisely who is contributing and who is not. It is in this context that this ICSI annual convocation is being held.”
He advised that each of the students should consider investing in oneself so as to witness the transformation which will happen in each one. “With this long term investment, one will gain market appreciation over time. like companies which practise good governance gain in their value overtime and provide long-term gains in the form of dividends and price-appreciation, members should too govern themselves well,” Mehta said.
He also said that there is need to remain credible is the most critical challenge today as words hold out for you, employers, being credible is nothing else but doing what you say and saying what you do. “The ability to distinguish between right and wrong has always been the most challenging assignment in life which is never taught in the classrooms,” he said.
CS Mamta Binani, VP, Council of the ICSI, said: “It is our attitude that determines the altitude to which we could reach. Similarly, it is our attitude and not the aptitude that could determine the altitude. Attitude determines the lifestyle of a person and it develops when perception is followed by projection, planning and actioning. Our attitude towards life can have a significant positive impact on shaping our quality of life”.
