Our Leadership Nurturing Tomorrow's Trailblazers
Welcome to a new journey of learning, growth, and discovery. As you embark on this journey, remember that every human being has infinite potential. You are capable of achieving greatness beyond your wildest imagination.
However, this potential cannot be realized without hard work and effort. Remember that every action or inaction has consequences, and it is up to you to decide which path you want to take. With dedication and perseverance, you can attain the success you desire. One of the things that you will learn at the University will be to become independent and assume responsibilities of your actions or inactions.
Also remember that learning is a lifelong process, and it is never too late to start. You are never too old or too young to learn something new. So, embrace every opportunity that comes your way, and never stop exploring.
I would like to share with you a few stories that will inspire you to do great things in life.
The first story is from the Syadvada philosophy of Jainism which is popularly known as “The Elephant, and Blind Men”. This story teaches us that truth has several facts. We must look at things from different perspectives before making judgments. We must be open-minded and willing to listen to others' opinions. The second story is a conversation with Buddha and his disciple Ananda where Buddha tells him “Aatmadipo Bhav” i.e. to become his own light, which tells us that we can be our own light as well as illuminate the entire world. You have the power to make a difference in the world, and it starts with believing in yourself.

The third story is from one of my favourite books Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse where the protagonist Siddhartha meets Buddha and asks a few questions to display his intelligence despite knowing that he was talking to an enlightened one. Buddha told him "You are clever, my friend. Be on your guard against too much of cleverness". This quote reminds us that intelligence alone is not enough. We must use our intelligence wisely, be on our guard against arrogance of knowing and not let it cloud our judgment. Let’s always stay humble and hungry for learning.
