Dean’s Message

ESTD. 1991

We all have been blessed with the ability to act purposefully, to think rationally and to deal effectively with

our lives and careers. We should have a definite purpose and direction in life. Activities, which are

misleading but seem attractive, may tempt us into changing our track. However, remember that we have a

mission to fulfill and a goal to achieve in life. The temptation may be strong but we have to keep away from

them and focus on our goals. We have to use our discretion to differentiate. We have to think rationally and

effectively manipulate our environment to achieve our goals. Achieving something is a continuous process.

So keep trying. Do not quit. It is just a matter of time and effort. You will surely reach your goal.
