Description

Let me first of all take this opportunity to address the young men and women who are present here. I would like to repeat what I have said on many occasions in the past and won’t hesitate repeating this in the future unless it gets hammered in. Please do not shortchange yourselves by chasing degrees, certificates and grades , by memorizing selective material that is likely to be included in question papers and then spit it out at the examinations and then forget about it. You would repent it throughout your adult life if you do not pay heed to it. Knowledge is important more than grades and degrees. The objective of a student must be to absorb and assimilate knowledge and then apply it solve real world problems. As knowledge is changing exponentially , therefore , you must keep updating your knowledge by committing yourselves to continuous life long learning. Higher educational institutions should impart you skills of critical thinking and analytical ability so that you can embark upon this life long journey with confidence . You would then be able to act as change agents , managers and leaders in your respective professions .
