Kohima: “In today’s world there is absolutely no room for those who drag along, for those who follows and for those who are just satisfied with being average,” said Kesonyü Yhome (IAS), Principal Director, School Education, Government of Nagaland during the seminar on career guidance held at Kigwema Village on April 12. Under the theme, “Be Prepared”, the seminar was organized by the Kigwema Students’ Union (KSU) in collaboration with Centenary Education Committee (CEC), Kigwema Baptist Church.
The program started with prayers by Zakievoto Zakaria, Cathechist Kigwema Catholic church followed by a short speech by Jalesoü Yhoshü, Convenor (CEC). Teisovi Thorie, President KSU stated that the seminar was conducted for the young students who are in great need of guidance before they plunge into any profession in the future and to let them explore their interests, skills and aptitudes.
Kesonyü Yhome emphasized on three challenging issues Nagas are facing today namely lack of discipline, endurance and regularity. “The biggest drawback among Nagas is our lack of discipline. There is no question of achieving in life if there is no discipline. Discipline is important not only for your profession but to build your character,” said Yhome who asserted that if one’s foundation in discipline is strongly rooted then the rest comes easy.
Yhome also pointed out that for Nagas, our comfort zones is too precious which often becomes as stumbling block for us to be successful because our endurance level is very low.
“We are such a section of community who are terrible in time management. When it comes to our society, productivity is nil,” added Yhome while talking about punctuality which is often connected to productivity.
Theja Meru who spoke on Entrepreneurship defined entrepreneurship as, “The business of dreaming, of imagining, taking bold steps, taking risks to create profit, to improve the quality of life and others around you,” Meru further exhorted the students that in order to get into entrepreneurship, the first step is to find one’s purpose, to build one’s personality and character and work hard saying that there is no luck in this world except hardwork.
Megoneitso Meyase, HOD Department of Botany, Kohima Science college, spoke on integrated farming where he focused on nursery, piggery, chicken rearing, fishery and organic farming fodder.
“Each one of you is extremely special in your own way, your own talent and aptitute. You have to start exploring yourself. Be adventurous. Venture out where people have not gone yet. Identify where your interests and aptitudes are and set a dream for yourself. If you don’t have a dream, you are a dead soul,” concluded Kesonyü Yhome while adding that the biggest challenge in pursuing one’s dream is none other than oneself.
