It is impossible to reach the top and maintain the same without consistent effort and hard work. There are no alternative paths and shorts cuts to success. These were the words of Raghavendra Auradkar.
He was speaking on the occasion of the 31st Expert Day which was held on 27th December 2016. He also shared his inputs on life and education which inspired the young minds of the students. He further said that honesty and simplicity have to be inculcated in every aspect of our lives. If a person thinks that he/she has achieved everything in life, then there can be no further growth and development. We need to have thirst and hunger for gaining knowledge. One should have faith and practice perseverance. Without self confidence, it is impossible to achieve anything. He gave the example of Arunima Sinha who climbed the Mount Everest with an amputated leg and achieved her goal, he said that she is not just an inspiration for physically challenged people but also for all of us. If we fail in something, it should be considered as a stepping stone towards success and a lesson should be learnt out of it. No matter how famous one becomes, one should be grateful to one’s teachers and always remember their contributions in one’s life.
