“I have been a part of all the programmes organized by TRF. For a decade it has been working for the benefit of students by providing them educational assistance, career guidance, awareness about the various facilities that the students can avail, scholarships provided by the central and state governments and has also been contributing to the development of the society”, said Mohammed Nazeer, Commissioner, Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) in praise of TRF.
Manjunath Bhandary, Chairman, Bhandary Foundation, Adyar, Mangaluru, narrating a real-life incident said, “Thousands of opportunities lie ahead of you, choose what you are interested in. A career is not by chance but by choice. You should enjoy what you do and not let what others do influence you.”
Abdul Ravoof Puthige, chairman, TRF, in his presidential address advised parents not to pressurize their kids or demotivate them, when it comes to studies and not to reprimand them for their mistakes. He urged students to sustain a healthy relationship with their parents. He also encouraged the students to work towards contributing to the country through their education.
“Out of 100 people in the world, only 5 emerge successful. This is the law of the 5%. You should do what the 5% do and not what the 95% is doing”, said Dr. Ananth Prabhu, Advisor, Vikas Pre-University College, Mangaluru emphasizing the importance of practice, in daily life. Speaking about the sacrifices and changes a person will have to make, he quoted, “Change is hard in the beginning, messy in the middle and beautiful in the end.”
“Interest fluctuates, it is influenced by others. It isn’t about copying somebody; it is what you can do. There should be consistency in what you do and you should know who you are” said Ameen-e-Mudassir, Founder and CEO, CIGMA India and the resource person, during his session.
He explained the 4 steps in career selection i.e., Self-Assessment, Explore Your Options, Decision-Making and Taking Action. He prompted the young SSLC and PUC graduates to choose a career based on their aptitude, ability, interest and skill. “You define the rules, you become the game”, he asserted the student audience, “Growth happens, because you commit to it”.
