Advising meritorious students to be positive in their approach, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that students should never allow negativity to creep in as it dragged one down towards failure.
“Positivity should be the essence of your life. Conquer your fear. If you can do it, victory would be yours. Believe me, nothing is unattainable in life. You only need a resolve and confidence within yourself that you can achieve your goal,” Yogi said during a function where 147 meritorious students, who passed Class X and XII this year were feted in lucknow on Thursday.
The CM said that students could change their fate with hardwork. “Do not be an escapist. The other name of life is hardwork. Have a dream and work hard to follow that dream. Always think about that dream till it is fulfilled,” he said. The students honoured were 117 toppers from Class X and XII of UP Secondary Board and 30 meritorious students of ICSE, ISC and CBSE.
