The best of you is surely ahead of you.I see in front of me those who will shape the future of the country as you embark on this exciting journey.”

“Be resilient. Show courage and conviction in combating the crisis and make a comeback when things settle down. Knowing your ignorance is the first step to wisdom. Support your team, build their knowledge and go to their core areas. Your character is built on values and it reflects in our conduct and behavior. Values are shaped by parents, family and teachers. Be a role model and an exemplar who can live up to values. Doing things right is different from doing right things. Compromise on tactics if required, but not on values.”, he added.
