“EXPERT OPINION”
By : Maruthai Ravindhiran
As a student, your fundamental duty is to focus on your studies and “accumulate knowledge” and “enhance your skills” with a positive attitude and “make those practices, a “habit” to succeed in your life.
To reach the highest echelon in your chosen career, you must have a “clear vision and values” for your life. You must always “dream big” and “aim high” to translate your vision into reality.
I humbly believe “your dreams must be bigger than the obstacles”, to be an achiever.
DEFINITION OF SUCCESS:
Success is defined as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. To be successful the fundamental requirement is to have a “ Purpose” in your Life. The dictionary describes success as the following; “ attaining wealth, prosperity and fame. Being Successful means the achievement of desired visions and planned goals. Furthermore, success can be a certain social status that describes a prosperous person who could also have gained fame for a favourable outcome. Success is an attitude.
REALISE YOUR DREAMS IN THE NEW YEAR
The new year is around the corner. All of us are full of hopes, dreams and expectations to be successful in our chosen endeavours in the new year. I am sure that most of you would have prepared your New Year Resolutions by now. Some of you would have written down your plans and planned to execute those plans. Some will have only wishful thinking. This is not good enough as “ A goal without a plan is just a wish”. By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
So, the people who do not have a plan need to wake up and prepare themselves to march forward in this new year. Perhaps, they could follow in the footsteps of successful people. You need to ”plan your work” and you must “work your plan”.
The Secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. I strongly recommend you have a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual and annual plan.
Plans are nothing, Planning is everything. Furthermore working on your Planning is the ultimate key to Success and that is the secret to success as well. Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.
While planning you should have “Clarity of thought”. Further you need to “ prioritise and organise your plans” as time management plays a pivotal role in your student career and life.
MY SECRETS FOR YOU TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK AND STUDENT LIFE:
You should “think clearly about your future”, “generate ideas to meet your goals and objectives in your student career and life and to overcome obstacles and problems and meet the challenges “, “try”, “do”, “do it again”, “and again”, “keep doing” and finally “succeed”.
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
Success is not built on success. It is built on failure. It is built on frustration. Sometimes it is built on catastrophe.
It is very important to have a “mentor” and it will have a profound impact on your life.
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE TO CHANGE THE ALTITUDE IN YOUR LIFE:
In Planning and implementation, you need to talk to yourself. As Swamy Vivekananda advised, “Talk to yourself at least once in a day…Otherwise, you may miss a meeting with an Excellent person in this World.” He also said that the great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this;
“The man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful”
CONCLUSION:
Finally, you should not be a “solipsistic person”. But, rather an “empathetic” person. I have learnt that empathy is “seeing with the eyes of another”, “listening with the ears of another “ and “ feeling with the heart of another “. Also, you should have “gratitude “ as an attitude “, in your life. In my humble opinion, the “ attitude of gratitude will change your attitude “ in the student’s career and life. “Gratitude is a multivitamin for the soul”.
Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions. Once expressed, it changes attitude, brightens outlook and broadens our perspectives.
Hence, have these human qualities and keep working to benefit your society, Family and yourself. You are the “heart of the education”. You will be a truly successful person. You may even conquer this world.
Wishing you a great and successful journey in 2025 and beyond.
