Sothu said there are many disadvantages and impediments for not receiving required education. He said, ‘children of today’s generation think highly of their parents and when that expectation is failed, there is disappointment among children with their parents.’ Despite such instances, Sothu said, parents sacrifice their best efforts and therefore, asked the students to work hard.
Calling the students to inculcate good character and to excel in life, Sothu opined that good student ought to know his or her own priorities and the first priority is to study hard. ‘Students should have a glowing mindset’ he said asserting that there was no end or limit to learning and adding among others was to remain consistent, being brave to do things better, remaining organised. It is important to be punctual, set routine and timetable, he added.
The director said students should set goals, both long term and short term and know how to deal with failures which was part of life. And while these goals are set, one should remain flexible because the goals were bound to change.

In today's context, he said it was also important to choose whose advices to take and your whose to avoid while stating that there were many people giving advices both relevant and irrelevant ones.
