Mr James spoke to the students about the differences they will see in student life and in corporate world. He stressed upon the need to proritise things in life rather than wasting time on pointless pursuits.
Fr. Dr. Eugene elucidated on the meaning of 'Epitome', a Greek word, which means “a thing that is a perfect example of a particular quality or type” and how in his experience in a brief meeting with Pope Benedict XVI, he learned to set total focus and concentration on what he does.
