He briefly spoke about the present education system and how it is encouraging us to perform better. He said - the Syllabus we study in Engineering is completely different from the real world. So, he urged the students not to grab the first job that comes their way.
He asked the students not to end up doing a job that doesn’t fuel up their passion. He emphasized on “Do what excites you, aspire to be an entrepreneur”. Success is 90% of hard work and 10% of Talent. Time Management is a very important skill to acquire and how we utilize the 86 thousand seconds in a day seals our fate in a big way.

However, it also depends on how they learn and take responsibility of own-self. There can be delayed gratification and one needs to be patient for their time to come, ‘Apna Time Aayega’ must be the chant wherein one realizes and respects their own potential. He concluded his speech by stimulating students to commit socially in addition to economic progression.
