The Vice President Saarc Chamber of Commerce and Industry Iftikhar Ali Malik has urged the students to concentrate on their studies as the 21st century is of knowledge based products and only knowledge based economies would have a place in the global market.
Malik was speaking at Annual Day function of Customs Public School here. He said youngsters are our future and valuable asset, they must work with determination, courage and consistency and this would make them leaders of tomorrow. "All professions are respectable; select agriculture, trade, industry or any service; do not opt only for government service" he added.
He said to create awareness among the young students, school management should arrange visits to animal farms, fish farms, orchards, fruit processing plants, industrial units instead of emphasising on excursion only.
He told the students that all the national heroes were young like them. But all of them had a goal in their mind. They just focused their attention towards the achievement of their goal. He advised the students to set a goal of life in their mind and then make small plans to achieve that goal. Concentrate on education to be creative. Manual work has lost its charm. Knowledge based products will dominate 21st century.
He said the students should work hard to get education, training, and develop expertise and skill. Future is for the fittest, get inspiration from your leaders, teachers and elders. Be healthy in physique and morality - these both are the ladders of future prosperity. Try to make name in spirits, games, like our renowned players, he added.-PR
