Dimapur, Sep. 16 (EMN): The Young Indians, Sazolie College in collaboration with Young Indians, Nagaland Chapter organised a motivational talk on Sep.15 at Sazolie College under the theme “a new perspective”.
Rsource persons for the programme were Rainbow Paints Proprietor, Vijay Sharma; Founder and Chief Traveler of Indian Trails, Abraham Rohan, and Cyclist and Eco-Activist, Project 72 Hours, Sievituo Solo.
The resource persons advocated the importance of making the right career decisions. They shared that although they were placed in very comfortable jobs they had to switch their careers as they were not fully satisfied with their jobs. They recounted the struggles and challenges they went through initially while switching their careers, but through determination and perseverance they could overcome the hurdles and succeed. Solo recounting his experiences and adventures travelling to different countries in his bamboo bicycle and the things he had learnt from those trips encouraged the students to follow their heart and do the things that they are good at, instead of following and doing what others are doing. He urged the student community to be bold and shed their inhibitions, and not be too concerned about making mistakes because it is through mistakes that one can learn and develop oneself. He also urged them to be agents of change in the society.
The other resource person Sharma shared about the importance of ‘possessing clarity of thought and vision in choosing what one wants to do in life’. “Students should learn the importance of multitasking and prioritising their works in order to excel” stated Sharma. He added that students should inculcate positive thinking and be surrounded by people who have positive attitude.
Also, Sharma spoke about the importance of giving back to the society and expressed satisfaction in the fact that he is able to give employment to a good number of Naga youths in his business establishment. He heartened the students’ to take pride in whatever they do.
Rohan in his address encouraged the students to challenge themselves and break out of their little chains or comfort zones. He urged them to experiment and venture into different professions because by doing so, they will learn and figure out what they should do and what they should not do. “Failures will teach you” he added. He reminded the students that Nagaland has a lot of potential for new business ventures and that they should take cognizance of it. He also stated that students should read more and be informed about what is happening in the world instead of confining themselves to their own locality or state, so that they can acquire a broader perspective and equip themselves better.
Around 100 Young Indian members from Sazolie College and St. Joseph’s College, Jakhama, attended the programme, it was stated.
