He further said, “I have learnt in my long career that, to create professionals, we need to follow five basic principles. These are: 'Dream very big', 'Be the master of your trade', 'Be positive', 'Do not aim for materialistic things', and 'Never give up'."
He further added, “In these troubled times, students need to realize that success is a process, not an event.”
