He told the gathering that so far they were dependents but now they have become independent adults of society and able to make their own decisions; they can choose what is right and what is wrong. He said that mistakes, failure and rejection are part of life and that the word FAIL should not be taken literally but it is to be read as `First Attempt In Learning’ and that there are plenty of opportunities out there.

She said that the initial years after graduating are for learning and the key to success is continuous learning. She cautioned that when one is successful one has to repeat success, only then will one remain successful. In today’s world, to remain successful, one has to run faster than yesterday, otherwise, one will be overtaken by a more competent person.
