Governor C.P. Radhakrishnan today asked students to use their education not only for personal advancement but also for the betterment of society. The Governor, while addressing the convocation ceremony of ICFAI University, Ranchi, held on Wednesday at Aryabhatta Auditorium, Ranchi, said that this ceremony is not only a symbol of the academic achievements of our degree holders but also marks the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. See challenges in life as opportunities and try to move forward. He also asked the degree holder to face various challenges in life with enthusiasm. He said that both success and failure will come in life, if you want to be successful then you have to face failure boldly.
The Governor said that we should move forward in life with positive thinking. Work with team spirit. Look at the goodness of others and try to incorporate it in your life. Follow your daily routine. To keep moving in the right direction, keep one hour in your daily routine for studying books. Setting many goals simultaneously creates a dilemma and makes it difficult to achieve the goal. Keep your behavior and thinking controlled, this will keep the situation under your control and it can be controlled. Being angry will gradually add up to your behavior, which is not conducive to success.
