My dear student, Its wonderful to be here with beautiful girls and handsome boys, I love the youth power.

It is great to see Prof. V.B Coutinho here, one of the best brains in law in the country, who has helped us during crucial times. I am impressed by Dr. Joseph V.G who has a vision. I was fortunate see the 18 acres of land just given for the sports facility, I was told its worth is over 40 crores and is entirely dedicated to the overall development of the students. Over the past few days I was pondering over what I have to talk to you graduating students. As the Vice Chancellor of Bangalore University let me congratulate you all on your success. There is a Quote “Shoot for the moon, even if you miss it its fine you'll land among the stars” and I am sure you have landed among the stars.

You need to use your talents to the full potential. You must find something to challenge you, you'll be sharper, stronger and happier. I hope you'll find passion that will drive you to success. Success is the result of some common ingredients in my opinion, the ingredients are hard work and smart work. The world out there is very competitive and there is no substitute for hard work. Even today.I find it difficult to cope with my  responsibilities after working for 10 hrs a day 6 days a week. Some of you may get good result today without hard work, but later you will have to put in more hard work.

There should be sincerity and consistency in what ever you may do. You should have unfailing faith in yourself, teachers and parents. My suggestion to you is play to win, but play the right games. The difference between a successful person and other is a lack of will. As a heart surgeon I have opened 10,000 hearts, but trust me I haven't seen anybody in their hearts, so do not waste your time  trying to have someone in your heart or trying to get into somebody else’s heart. Life is precious, time is precious, spend it wisely.
