For the students, who think life will become easy now will only have to start the real struggle from here onwards. Since you cannot escape it now, my suggestion would be to make it worthwhile. I have witnessed my brother’s journey of becoming a doctor, and from that I perceive apart from your mindset you also have to make your emotional quotient very strong. You will have to deal with eventualities on a day-to-day basis. This profession is said to be next to God because not only you are putting in your learnings to work but also bringing in your patience and empathy to be successful. Once you start developing these characteristics during your professional journey, you will become a renowned name in this field to reckon with. I congratulate each student for their exceptional performance and all the luck for your future endeavors.”

We need to be more inquisitive to gain richness from life. No matter how much successful you become, one should be attached to their roots. One should not stop chasing their dreams despite challenges. We need to have confidence in ourselves that no matter whatever the situation is, we will emerge victorious. I wish all the students success in the path of this selfless profession. “
