Students on the threshold of making a career choice received advice on the means to make their dreams come true by professionals and achievers from different walks of life at The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling 2023 held in the city on Sunday, June 11.
The event was held at the Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering and Deputy Commissioner Dr. K.V. Rajendra, who was the chief guest, called upon the students to pursue their dreams and not lose hopes due to minor setbacks.
He said failures will become a stepping stone to success provided there was a sincere analysis of the reasons behind the failures followed by efforts to bridge the gap that led to the setback.
Mr. Rajendra emphasised the importance of clarity of vision in what one wished to pursue and said a strong foundation based on knowledge and education was critical for embarking on a successful career.
The Deputy Commissioner said there was no dearth of opportunities but what was important was planning and adhering to it and this called for discipline.
For those preparing for competitive examinations, habit of newspaper reading is mandatory and should become a second nature so as to be well-informed and a cut above the rest, said Mr. Rajendra.
Ameen e-Mudassar, career counsellor and CEO of CIGMA said aptitude, personality or attitude and skills were important for a successful career and students should identify them early and figure out what they wish to do. He said students and those preparing for a career should not only dream of what they wish to attain but also nurture the dream and give themselves a chance.
