Prof. Lanusosang also highlighted that India has one of the highest percentage of youth under 25 years and the Government of India is making effort to focus on the education system from the grass root level. New attitude and skills are needed to succeed in life. He also mentioned that one should not become the surrogate of others expectation but rather focus on what we are good at and work towards it.
He concluded by taking quote from Steve Jobs commencement speech at Stanford University, “your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other peoples thinking. Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice... and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want. Everything else is secondary.”
